I’m home most weekdays, though I also waitress part-time. My schedule is still flexible, so I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. PSA My cancellation fees are FINAL. This is my livelihood.

Information Ashley S. would like to know about your pet

Two ABSOLUTELY NEED TO KNOWS: 1- Knowing your pet's socialization level with other animals and people, any fears or triggers, and emergency contacts ensures a smooth and safe experience for your beloved companion. 2 - Crate training is non-negotiable as it ensures pet safety, aids in house training, provides a secure space for rest, and helps manage behavior. It's essential for the pet's well-being, adjustment, and a structured routine during their stay. Understanding your pet's routine, behavior, likes, and dislikes is crucial. Information such as feeding schedule, exercise needs, any medical conditions or medications, behavioral quirks, favorite toys, and any specific training commands helps me provide the best care. Clear communication and sharing these details in advance help me tailor the care to meet your pet's individual needs and preferences effectively.

A typical day

I will engage pets in interactive play sessions with their favorite toys, enjoy outdoor romps in the fenced backyard for exercise and exploration, and provide plenty of cuddles and affection. Daily walks, puzzle games for mental stimulation, and customized activities based on each pet's preferences will keep them happy and entertained during their stay.

Pet Sitter & Golden Mama 🦮

Pet care experience

Hello fellow pet lovers! As a devoted pet parent who has raised two German shepherds from puppyhood to their golden years, I have a wealth of experience in providing attentive care and love to furry companions at every stage of life. I started out working from home since the onset of the pandemic which allowed me to dedicate my time and attention to our beloved four-legged friends. I currently split my time between pet care and waitressing, but I make pet sitting a top priority and treat every animal like my own. With a lifelong passion for animals and a household that embraces the presence of pets, including my pet-loving grandmother, I am committed to providing a warm and welcoming environment for your furry family members. I look forward to the opportunity to shower your precious pup with love, care, and attention while you're away, creating a safe and nurturing home-away-from-home experience. PLEASE READ: While it is common practice to visit a home before having your dogs stay while you’re away, I have made the decision not to conduct pre-stay visits. I trust in the arrangements made and believe that your dogs will be well looked after without the need for a pre-visit. Pictures of common areas are provided on my profile. Thank you.

This was the first time boarding my dog. Ashley was wonderful. She sent daily updates and pictures. My dog actually did not want to leave as she had so much fun. I will definitely use Ashley again.

Ashley was a dog mom's dream come true. We are new to the area and nervous about leaving Snickers for the week. He has always been boarded with his trainer and this time was going to be a big change for both of us. Ashley made me feel very comfortable with her watching him. Snickers had a great time and Ashley kept in contact with me with texts, videos and pictures (much appreciated). Ashley will definitely be seeing Snickers again.
