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.

Information Ashley S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what special needs your dog might have. As a former vet tech I am up for whatever they might need help with.

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.

Former certified vet tech

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 💙

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!
