Friendly & Trustworthy pup sitter
Pet care experience
My experience goes back as far as 15 years, starting with helping my mother with her grooming business, sweeping fur, and bathing small pups. At 14, I was heavily involved with helping my grandmother take care of her many clients with her own dog sitting business as well. I know how to get any dog to take their medicine, I can lift over 50 pounds, and currently following an online leash trainer, to not only train my own 2 dogs, but hopefully provide this service to others as needed. My services go farther than just dog sitting though. For a small extra fee, I would be happy to also serve as a house keeper/cleaner. Tasks like making the bed, cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, and light yardwork, or whatever you're comfortable with, on top of knowing your pet(s) are in loving and caring hands, can make coming home a delightful and stress-free experience.
Reviews
Amazing! Will definitely book her again. We loved Ashley!
Ashley was an amazing sitter for Blaze! I was very nervous leaving Blaze as she is my first dog and I have never left her alone before. Ashley reassured and validated my feelings, and gave me updates with pictures every 2-3 hours. Ashley is timely, responsible, and caring and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Ashley is a very trustworthy, caring, responsible person. She enjoys working with animals and has always customized her care based on the needs of each individual pet. Ashley knows and understands the responsibility of caring for a pet while in another persons home. She shows respect for rules of the house and always puts forth consistent effort in maintaining even the most stringent scheduling wishes of her clients.
I have had Ashley handle several different tasks for me throughout the past 6 years. Everything from babysitting my twin boys to cleaning and taking care of my 3 dogs while on vacation or away from the house for longer than I like to leave them alone. Over the years she has become invaluable to me and it will be next to impossible to replace her now that she has decided to move on. There are several things that set her apart from all the others but she always goes above and beyond. And always have confidence things are being handled as I expect and that gives me complete peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment
I can accommodate any pet, in any environment. I do not offer my home for care, because my dogs would have a fit. Not only is this safer for your animals, but it's ultimately more comfortable for them as well. If your pet likes distance, then I will do my best not to impose on its space. If your pet enjoys cuddles, I will be happy to give that to them as well. With dogs, I can take them for short walks every 2 hours or so, and long walks every 4-6 hours, depending on what they need. If they have a free roaming yard, I will sit, or stand with them, and play ball, frisbee, or whatever toy they prefer. My job is not to sit and watch your pet. My job is to be invited into the home, and make them feel like it's play time all the time in a safe environment. I will do my best to make sure your house is just the way you left it, or better, if you want that service as well :)
Information Ashley R. would like to know about your pet
Knowing if your pets are territorial, or like to tug on leashes is very important knowledge to me, especially if they're larger breeds. Knowing where the pets are allowed to be in the house, (this includes furniture, or any favorite spots in the house) If they need to take any medication, and how often. If they're still potty training, how often you normally take them out, or what foods to include if they are on a raw diet.
A typical day
I like to take dogs exploring, swimming if they like, any toys you have at the house I promise I will probably use all of them to make your fur babies happy. Since I don't know the area that well yet, our walks will probably be a bit long, so we can both get the most out of our journey.

I’m looking to branch from Rover, and continue working on my own dog sitting business. Ultimately, I like being my own boss, and doing things I am passionate about such as caring for animals, and art projects. Living creatures, always come first, and having fur babies of my own, I know the stress that comes with leaving your dog in the hands of someone else, or worse, having to bring them with you to a long journey, not knowing where you're going to keep them( there’s a surprising amount of not dog-friendly hotels). Since my schedule is so flexible, I can promise your pets will not be alone for longer than 4 hours, and will receive 100% of my attention while I’m there.
