Large Home & Yard Dogs love it here

Pet care experience

I am a Lesley College Student seeking my Bachelors degree and the majority of my classes and school work are done online. I work from home as well part time for Auto International LTD. I love dogs and have been taking care of them and other animals since I was just a child. All the dogs in my neighborhood come to my house frequently to get belly rubs, a treat, accompany us on a walk, to play with my girls and to get love. I treat every dog as if they were my own and spoil them rotten. The worst part about this job is that I have to give the dogs back to their owner. I fall in love with them! There are numerous trails and fields near my house that I love to walk with my pack. Dogs will get great exercise through our long walks in the fields, trails and mountain hikes we take. Exploring new ground and stimulating their senses as they sniff new scents. Through playing with squeaky toys, stimulation mats, K9 nose toys and puzzle toys they will enhance their congestive abilities keeping their minds sharp! Socializing is also imperative to a dogs overall health & wellness. When with me dogs will socialize with no just myself and my girls but dogs from my street, family members and others while we are out on our walks/hikes. I make my own treats! The chicken and beef jerky I make is made with human grade food that’s vet approved. With no more than three ingredients it’s a delicious safe and healthy treat that helps control tar build up and promotes a healthy digestive system (due to added pumpkin) All water bowls are filled with Poland spring since tap water is known to have toxins in them. You will not find anyone better than I to care for your dog while you are away! I also give updates through out the day with videos and pictures included. Your dog will have a blast at my home and will become part of the family in no time!

Ashley is the BEST! Our six-month old Bernese puppy Moose has stayed with her for a couple of daycare visits and most recently a full 8-day stay. We saw lots of pictures of him tooling around town with her having a blast. Puppies can easily get themselves into trouble but I felt comfortable that he was always being watched and that he got plenty of exercise and attention. Ashley has a spotless home with oodles of dog toys and a big yard and takes her canine visitors out and about daily. Moose's stay with her was a total success and we are lucky to have found her!

I had hopes that my first venture using this service would be amazing. In a way it was, just not in the direction I had planned. Everything started off fine. I reviewed the profiles and picked Ashley based on the 1 review on her profile and her proximity between my home and office. I had hoped she would be fantastic and I could give her a great review to help build up her busness. She accepted my request to sit for my dog in her home. I contacted her 2 days before the designated day and received reconfirmation. On the appointed day, I arrived at the street address on her profile and could not locate her house. In fact, there was no house # above 12 on the street. I pulled over (there had just been a snowstorm the day before of 18+") as much as possible. None of the driveways had been plowed or shoveled that I could see. I tried calling her access line and did not receive an answer. I texted Ashley for better direction of where her home was located. At this time it was 10 mins passed the agreed upon time for drop off. After not receiving a response after 5 mins, I texted again and still nothing. Now I'm thinking what do I do with my dog. If I returned home I'd be late for work but what choice did I have? I texted again and said I was leaving (20 mins passed the drop off time) and would expect a refund for the service not provided. I was able to drop my dog off at his old daycare when I realized I was in the vicinity. It took 2.5 hrs to hear from Ashley and all I got was "I lost my phone in the snow but it was under my car so no real harm done". She did apologize that she didn't get my messages since she lost her phone but at the same time why wasn't she outside looking for me or at least had the driveway or path shoveled?? She has never confirmed her street address and never asked what I ended up doing with my dog. She is not considerate or reliable. Maybe it's her age (profile shows she is college) but when you have a business you should be attentive to your clients, especially when you are caring for their loved ones. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND ASHLEY!!!

I have known Ashley for over 3 years now and am very thankful to have her as my dog sitter. She is amazing with dogs. Brady loves her and gets excited when he knows he will be going with Ashley. They go for long walks and hikes, he plays with her dogs and comes home worn out and ready for bed. I signed up with Rover because I wanted to give her a good review because she deserves it. Goes above and beyond for my Brady. I wouldn't allow anyone els to care for my baby

Information Ashley R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference I love them all! Their age. If they have separation anxiety (if they do something with your scent on it would be helpful during their stay) If they have any impairments (heading, eye sight, ect) If they have special needs or special diets. Any medications I need to administer or health conditions they have. If they enjoy playing what their favorite games are. Their favorite spot to have rubbed or scratched. Any sensitive areas on them that they dislike having touched.

A typical day

I guarantee they will be treated like they were my own and a part of my family. I promise to give them lots of attention love and to promote health and wellness. (About me shares my style with you) I will not take more than 3-4 dogs at a time because I want them all to get the love and attention they deserve. I have yet to have more than 1 dog clinent aside from my own during their stay so chances are they will be our only client at their time of stay/walk. They will have a blast! I am constantly thinking of more creative ways to engage dogs and to optimize their overall health. They will have a blast and you will get updates on it all! Activities include: Long Walks with lots of sniffing, running, playing and socializing! Stimulation mats, K9 Nose work toys, squeaky toys, burry/dig pit in yard, puzzle toys and much more! Great home made healthy treats that help control tar build up & promote a healthy digestive system.
