Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover, big or small
Always encourage you to reach out for a free meet and greet as I want to assure that you feel confident and comfortable with who you are leaving your precious furry friends with. No animal is too big or too small! I have taken care of family dogs since I was around 12 years old, and I have experience taking care of senior and geriatric dogs as well as puppies a few months old all ranging different breeds from large working dogs to tiny toy breeds. I’ve also spent time caring for lizards, frogs, birds, farm animals, and native Texas wildlife. I’m very passionate about animal care and grooming, I’m not afraid of messes or cleaning up after pets. I’m currently studying to become a vet as it has been my dream job since I was 5. I’ve taken classes on veterinary medicine application, and small animal management. I have also worked as a seasonal animal care tech for Austin Wildlife Rescue, so the scope of animals I’ve seen is vast! I’ve also spent a lot of time learning from my older sister who has been dog sitting on Rover and training dogs for almost a decade. Always happy to go on adventures with more active dogs and animals, or happy to stay home cuddled and giving them all the love-whatever your pet loves most! Their care is my top priority and I hope you entrust me with keeping you furry family member company.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard, two kennel trained dogs, and 5 cats in my household who have access to multiple high ground areas separated by the first and second floor of our home. I can easily walk your furry friend around my neighborhood as I know multiple quiet routes and a low-traffic and spacious dog park. Cleaning litter boxes or after pups is no issue for me nor is walking or play.
Ratings and reviews
Ashley was so great. She was very responsive and great with updates on our animals. You can tell our animals had fun with her. She was attentive and took amazing care of our babies. Even our shy kitty came out to hang! She has experience with pitties, so she knew what to expect and how to handle our dogs.
Ashley was prompt and great at communicating with me. She sent pictures of their adventures. She was respectful of my home and my pup! I would definitely recommend Ashley!
Punctual
Great job
Great job
Ashley was constantly late feeding Autumn even tho she agreed to the times I requested. There was always an excuse of work, sleeping past alarm, etc. I also had to request for her to share details with me because I was getting less than the bare minimum. Unfortunately I received a picture of a cat that wasn’t even mine. I felt very uneasy about addressing most of these issues while she was working in fear of potential retaliation from my feedback. While I’m sure she’s a nice human, I will not be hiring her again to be a pet sitter of my elderly cat.

Schedule
I currently unemployed, but I am the primary driver for 2 other roommates who are working and have two pitties (an older semi-retired cardiac alert gal and younger adult gal) who need potty breaks. Always happy to discuss how to make it work for you and your pets needs.
