Pet care experience
I am a highly experienced professional dog walker/dog sitter. I have been working with animals for over eight years. I first started at the age of 17 where I would do overnight boarding at my house, at that same time I was also working for Dog Spa and Hotel. My love for animals influenced the next step I took in my pet care career. I decided to go back to school and get my Pet Grooming certification. I worked for three years at Astoria Veterinary Group as a Veterinary Assistant/Receptionist as well as a part time dog groomer. Eventually deciding to become independent and continue my career as a dog walker. I currently have wonderful clients throughout the Columbus circle area in Manhattan. I am certified in pet CPR and have also taken Animal Care classes at Bronx Community College. I am also considering going back to school to be a Veterinarian, so pretty much animals are my life, they're my true passion. About this sitter: For as long as I could remember animals have always been my passion. I never thought I would get as far as I have in the animal care field. I am a Dog Walker/Groomer/Sitter and Handler. I couldn't think of a better field to be a part of! Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since the first time I was ever able to have one of my own. My passion for them has then grown, as I research more about each breed and experience each temperament, I fall ever so much in love with them all over again.

My experience administering medication Yes. Oral medications only.
Reviews
Just like last time Ashley was great! Super flexible and accommodating to both us and our little buddy. She adjusted to him and his leg pain and took him for longer or shorter walks depending. So nice to have an awesome dog sitter!
Ashley went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was flexible with pick up and drop off. She made sure he had adequate air conditioning during a heat wave. She went to great lengths to give him his medications. And she even gave him a bath before returning him to me. She is knowledgeable and caring. I would definitely recommend her!
Ashley was very sweet and adjusted to our dog Newman. He has a lot of problems with new people and dogs and Ashley very patiently listened to how we work with him and made sure to continue working with him. Tons of pictures which we super appreciated and are so happy to now have a dog sitter and walker near the house... I think Newman is the most excited!
Ashley was able to help us on short notice. She provided wonderful and frequent updates. Our pup looked very happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. We would definitely use her again!

Information Ashley R. would like to know about your pet
I have no preference at all. I do have two house dogs that are very friendly, elderly and used to having pups over. I would love to know any specifications about the temperament of the client. Any aggression issues? Any issues while walking? Any sensitivities? Also they history of how you got your pup. These aren’t mandatory but it’s always fun to know my clients history and does allow me to better serve everyone.
