Life-long animal lover, last minute

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover with a passion for caretaking. I have over 16 years of experience with a large range of animals. I have had 5 cats, 1 dog, 3 gerbils, 1 snake, 1 leopard gecko, and 1 hamster. I have had a house full of animals since before I can remember, and I know how to feed, administer medicine, play, and care for your pet! I would be a great match for your pet needs! Two of my cats are seniors (16+) and are in great health! I am an owner of a pitbull-boxer mix who has just turned ten as well! However, my personal pets are not my only experience with animals. Starting from 2015 - 2018, I worked as a volunteer at a local animal rescue in my community. I fell in love with taking care of animals and even rescued one myself! Then, from 2017 - 2019, I transitioned to another animal rescue organization. Again, my love for animals got to me, and I ended up rescuing another cat! I have grown up with various animals throughout my life and I am a very experienced caretaker. I have had lots of experience pet-sitting for others. In fact, I have housed Pugs, Pit-bulls, Labs, German Shepards, and Maltese; and even fostered cats for a while! I am very comfortable with distributing medicine and adapting to any special needs your pet may have, as I have had experience through my senior animals. When I am not caring for animals, I work part time as a Registered Behavior Technician for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Between my work life and my personal life, it is quite obvious that I have a passion for caretaking. I am currently a second-year student at the University of Florida studying Psychology with an emphasis on Behavioral Analysis and minoring in Disabilities in Society! I am on track to graduate next year! There is no animal that I would not treat as my own. In my house, it is quite normal to stop on the side of the road to rescue a turtle trying to cross. I hope you can tell how much love, care, and effort I would put into treating your pet and home with respect! Thanks for viewing my profile!

Ashley has been surrounded by cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles and fish her whole life. She has always loved animals and been an important part of their care. She was a pet sitter for many neighbors and volunteered with rescue groups for many years. She is proficient in animal care, specialty diets and medication. She spends time to connect with each pet so they can be as comfortable as possible while you are gone. I 100% trust her with my 5 pets and they receive great care. She is thorough providing diet and medication and arrives on time. I highly recommend Ashley for your pet sitting needs.

Ashley is the most caring and pet-loving person I have ever met. She even owns five cats and one dog of her own that she loves dearly and cares for! I have no doubt that she will take great care of your pets.
