Availability
I’m typically very flexible since I work from home. I split my time between Mancos/Durango/Telluride so can stay wherever you are or your pet can stay with me, or I can do drop ins. Sometimes I have to drive up to Telluride for client meetings but would know ahead of time and plan your pet sitting around that or just not schedule anything during that time.

Safety, trust & environment
My house is very clean, uncluttered and comfortable. I have an unfenced yard on 4 acres but would follow your lead on this one. My dog uses a halo collar for his fence boundary at my house. I’ve cared for dogs who need leash walks only too.

Information Ashley S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know what special needs your dog/cat might have. As a former vet tech I am up for whatever they might need help with, however I may ask for an additional hourly service fee for specialized care. Let’s discuss together! ;)
A typical day
I love going for hikes with dogs and play ball or stick. Going for swims or just providing company during the day or at night while they rest if they are older. Also.. I do appreciate how much older dogs love their slow sniff walks.

Pet care experience
I went to school originally for animal science and veterinary technology. I worked in veterinary ERs, general practice, shelters for 6 years out of school. While I have hung up my hat as a vet tech officially in 2009 after I found a passion for a career in nonprofit and outdoor education, I still maintained several dog/cat sitting clients in Telluride where I lived over the course of fifteen years on the side of my full time program director position for a busy summer camp. Now in my 40s I work from home or remotely, for the last six years, as a nonprofit consultant. I have one lab named Zappa who keeps me on my toes the way only labs know how. (I can always bring him with me to your home or let him stay at home.) My lifestyle is active and I stay flexible so I can work remotely for travel opportunities (or to stay with your fur babies in your home!). I love running, hiking, surfing, rafting and riding bikes. Senior pets, meds and special instructions are no problem for me with my certified vet tech background. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones! Let me know if you have any questions 💙
Reviews

Ashley did an outstanding job for us. Our dog had knee surgery and she took such good care of her. Her knowledge is vast as she was a vet tech and has helped us out in so many ways! She also left the house so nice and clean and even washed the linens for us. We gave her a very nice tiop and have some appreciation gifts for her. We definitely recommend her services. You won't be disappointed.
This is the person you want to take care of your furry friend! As a former vet tech and general animal lover, she knows all the right ways to care for your pet. On top of all that, she’s a very reliable, responsible, and all around good human! 10/10 would recommend without hesitation!
