Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, reliable care for your pet
I spent several years caring for a beloved senior dog, and that experience taught me how rewarding and detail-oriented good dog care really is. It gave me a lot of patience and a habit of paying close attention to the little things, like changes in appetite, energy, or mood that tell you how a dog is really doing. I’m comfortable administering medications on schedule and keeping a steady feeding, walk, and potty routine. That said, I love dogs of every age and personality, from playful puppies with energy to burn to mellow seniors who just want gentle company. Whatever your dog needs, I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, keep things calm and low-stress, and send photo and text updates so you always know how they’re doing. I treat every dog like my own, and your pup’s comfort and routine always come first.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide care in your home, where your dog feels most comfortable and secure. Staying in their own space, with familiar smells, routines, and their favorite spots, keeps stress low, especially for dogs who feel anxious away from home. I’ll respect your home the same way I’d want mine respected: I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, stick to your dog’s normal routine, and keep a close eye out for anything out of the ordinary. I’ll also send photo and text updates each visit so you always know your dog is safe, happy, and cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Ashley is one of the most kind-hearted and compassionate people I know, especially when it comes to animals. It’s so clear that she truly sees them as family and always puts their well-being first. Watching her care for her own rescue cat has been incredibly heartwarming. With so much patience, love, and understanding, she helped her slowly build confidence and feel safe in her new home. Ashley pays close attention to even the smallest changes in behavior and always responds with empathy and care, allowing animals to grow and trust at their own pace. Whenever I have questions about my own rescue dog, Ashley is one of the first people I turn to. She always takes the time to listen, offers thoughtful advice, and genuinely cares about finding what’s best for her. Her understanding of animal behavior, combined with her calm and patient nature, makes her someone I trust completely. If we lived closer, Ashley would be the very first person I’d ask to look after my little rescue dog, who definitely likes to test boundaries from time to time. I know she would treat her with kindness, patience, and the loving guidance she needs. I can wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet as if it were her own.
Honestly, I'm not really a review kind of guy, but I wanted to write this because Ashley was an absolute delight to work with. For my girlfriend's summer break, we decided to go to Hawaii for a week, but we're super worried about who to leave my 14 year old pup Ivory with for the first 3 days while we were gone. She's on the older side and so we were a bit picky about who'd watch over her. My friend recommended Ashley because she's been watching their puppies frequently for date nights and so we decided to reach out. She was super professional from the start. She asked us alot of questions after we told her worries about how Ivory's routine goes and what were things to look out for. When we left Ivory in Ashley's care, we were a bit still worried, but shs reassured us that she would proactively communicate so we could stay looped in throughout. Not only did she pull through with the great comms, but she also went as far as sending us photos throughout the day to remind us how well Ivory was doing! Super grateful for Ashley and her professionalism. Just wanted to do this shoutout cus I + Ivory want everyone to know that you're the best!! :)

Schedule
Pet care is my main focus right now, not something I squeeze in around other work, so I have full-time availability and can take care of your dog any day of the week, including weekends. That flexibility means I can give your dog consistent, unhurried attention and match their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime on their usual schedule so the day feels normal for them even when you’re away. Whether you need a single drop-in visit or several check-ins throughout the day, just let me know what your dog is used to and I’ll build my visits around it.
