Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits and walks. On those days, I’m available early mornings (before 8 a.m.), during my lunch break (12–2 p.m.), and after 4 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I offer evening walks. Weekends vary depending on my schedule, but I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll always know when I’m available. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible!

About Ashley P.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playing, giving medication, or providing potty breaks—so your pet feels secure and cared for in their own space. For walks, I always use secure leashes or harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs and know how to create calm, positive walking experiences. I treat your home and your pet with respect, as if they were my own.
Information Ashley P. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care possible, I like to know about any behavioral needs or quirks they may have—especially things like fearfulness, reactivity, or aggression, so I can tailor my approach and keep everyone safe and comfortable. It’s also helpful to know about any allergies, medical needs, or sensitivities, as well as whether they’re nervous around certain triggers like other dogs, children, or loud noises. If there are specific routines or comfort items your pet relies on, I’d love to know those too! The more info you share, the better I can make sure your pet feels secure and cared for.
A typical day
A fun day with me always includes a mix of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love! I love starting the day with a good walk that gives dogs time to sniff and explore—it’s not just about exercise, it’s also great for their brains! I often include enrichment like Kongs, lick mats, or puzzle toys to keep pups engaged during visits. For high-energy dogs, I’m happy to play fetch or frisbee during outdoor time, and I always match the activity to your dog’s energy level and comfort. Whether it’s a long walk, some structured play, or just companionship, I aim to make every visit meaningful, safe, and fun.

Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own two pups with very different needs. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs through medical conditions, including helping my first dog through cancer treatment and post-surgery care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions from vets. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, providing the patience, support, and comfort they need. On the other end of the spectrum, my current dog is high-energy and requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation, so I’m well-versed in creating enriching activities and structured routines. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and fear-reactive dogs, including reactivity toward fast-moving objects, children, and other dogs. I understand how to approach these situations calmly and safely to keep everyone comfortable. I’m also familiar with certain e-collars and am open to discussing their use with pet parents if needed. My top priority is always to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
