Ready to make your pet's day!
Pet care experience
I have an extensive history of caring for animals, especially dogs. My family always had dogs and growing up, I spent a great deal of time with my aunt who is a dog breeder, obedience trainer, and vet tech. Her passion and knowledge for animals, especially dogs, made a lasting impression on me. My partner and I had a senior dog together, Maddie. She sadly passed away in December 2022. In 2023, we rescued a young puppy, Ruby, and she is now a year old. Both dogs were and are the highlight of my day. Each of their walks of life, puppy and senior, required a lot of patience, understanding, and tapping into their personal needs. My experience ranges from puppy, teen years, to senior. In addition to dog care, I previously had two adorable rescue kitties, Lucy & Sam, for 7 years with my ex partner in Boston, MA. I believe animals are members of the family and I love making them feel happy and included. When dog walking, I always spark up a great conversation and make sure to leave them with a treat (if applicable), fresh water, pats, and reassurance that you'll be home soon. I'm a self-employed jewelry designer so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I'm very active and love to be outdoors with your dog; walking or going to the park. I take Ruby to the West Hollywood Dog Park every day and I would be more than happy to bring your pup along with us. I reside and work in Mid City Los Angeles.
Reviews
Ashley took care of our cat while we were away and we couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. She contacted us immediately upon arrival while we were gone and always gave us a play by play of her visit replete with pictures and anecdotes! She loves and understands animals completely and I will definitely be calling on her again in the future!
I've never met anyone who has such a personal connection with animals. Ashley has always displayed towards animals a kindness that most of us can't even provide towards our fellow humans. There's no one better I can think of to lead some pups on a walk through the woods or even just play time in the yard!
If you're looking for someone that will love your pet as you would, look no further. Ashley is attentive, caring, energetic, motivated, organized, professional, respectful, and understanding. She loves being outdoors and often mentions how much she'd love to have a pup to join her. Make a gals dreams come true and gain a new bestie for your fur-baby.
Ashley has been an amazing care taker for our dog, Cinci! What a friend she has become to him. Cinci is home while we work, and she walks him in nice weather, and bad, until his heart is content. Ashley is kind, and responsible. He knows when she comes to the door and becomes very excited for his play date. Ashley gives us peace of mind, knowing if we are running late from work, he won't be alone, or go too long without fresh air. Ashley has become a big part of our family and Cinci's other best friend. I highly recommend her.

I want to keep your pet's routine as close to regular as possible. I know how stressful it can be for an animal to left home and I want them to feel safe and happy. Regular potty breaks, walks with lots of sniffs, fresh food and water refills, a fluff of a bed, and plenty of hugs and kisses.
Information Ashley P. would like to know about your pet
- What kind of activities does your dog enjoy? I want your dog to be excited and happy for an outing. - Any aggression towards other dogs? Such as barking when walking past another dog.
A typical day
Going on walks is one of my favorite past times and doing with a dog makes it even more enjoyable. It's fun to see the world through their eyes. I like to give them ample time to not only go to the bathroom but get some fresh air, take in the smells, explore, and get a good stretch of the legs.
