Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Second Favorite Human 🐾
I provide dependable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs. As a graduate student, I have a structured routine and strong time management skills, which means your pet will get consistent, reliable care and attention. I’m especially mindful of safety, behavior, and comfort, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine so they feel secure and at ease. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra support, or medication reminders. I focus on creating a calm, positive environment and use clear communication with owners so you always feel informed and confident while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of thought and intention I bring to pet care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I prioritize trust, consistency, and a safe environment above everything.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, stress-free care. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines, to keep everything as familiar as possible for your pet. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and keep things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly managed to prevent any safety issues, and I’m attentive to your pet at all times. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision. I do have an unfenced yard, so all outdoor time would be closely monitored and leashed to ensure safety. I also prioritize communication, providing regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels cared for and you have complete peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Ashley for a while now, and one thing that’s always stood out is how genuinely caring she is, especially with animals. She stayed at my home for a full week to watch my dogs and cat, and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving them in her care. She kept up with all their routines, made sure they were happy and well cared for, and gave them so much attention. Her communication was great throughout, and I received daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pets were comfortable and in good hands. She’s the type of person who really pays attention to the little things and makes sure pets feel safe and cared for. I would trust her with my pets again without hesitation. She’s reliable, responsible, and truly enjoys being around animals, which makes such a difference.
I can’t recommend Ashley enough as a pet sitter. She is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know, and her love for animals is obvious the moment you see her interact with them. She is patient, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated she is, whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, making sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention, or just spending extra time giving them the affection they need. She treats every pet like her own, and you can truly feel at ease knowing your pet is in such good hands. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with my own pets.

Schedule
I’m a graduate student at Pitt and spend about 40 hours a week in clinical settings treating patients. Because of that, my weekday availability is more limited, but I can offer select drop-in visits during early mornings or evenings depending on the day. My weekends are much more flexible, and I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care from Friday through Sunday. I’m very organized with my schedule, so when I commit to a visit, you can count on me being reliable, punctual, and consistent.
