Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Ashley and I’ve got a passion for dogs! I started sitting in 2016 and since have become very involved in shelters, working with various breeds of all sizes, ages, and abilities. That includes pit bulls to labs to great danes to chihuahuas, injured dogs, nervous dogs, extremely active dogs, senior dogs, puppies, you name it! These experiences brought my knowledge of dogs to a new level, but did a great deal for me personally, too. I understand what it means to have a dog act as a family member and friend, which just makes me all the more invested in giving you and your buddy the best service possible! I, myself, am very active and enjoy getting outside for long periods of time. I'll go out in rain or snow too, as long as it's safe. I've administered oral medications to dogs I've worked with as well, so if you provide instructions, I'll do the work. I love to do this, so I try not to charge a lot. Negotiations are available within reason (gas, number of pets, etc.) Safety is a top priority for both me and your dog, so I do require that you meet with me briefly in a public space before the sitting/walking. Any questions, just ask! I know it can be uncomfortable to leave your dog with a new person, but I will give you nothing less than 110%. I'll take care of your best friend, guaranteed. A few notes: Please let me know beforehand if you have cats! I can work with them, but do have an allergy, so I need to be prepared before I come. I also CANNOT host pets at my home due to apartment rules, so keep that in mind, especially if you need me to stay overnight with your pet. I work from home, so I can do day stays, but please let me meet your pet outside of work hours, so I can really understand what you’ll need. Thank you!
Reviews
Ashley was wonderful watching my elderly dog, Oliver. She is a great communicator, checked in (with photos) regularly, professional and kind. I felt confident having her watch Oliver even with all his quirks and senior needs.
Ashley was great to work with and our pets loved their time with her. Will definitely book again with Ashley in the future!
Ashley is great! Our three pups, two senior and a three year old, clearly had a great time and were well taken care of, including walks and cuddles. Thanks, Ashley, the pack loved you and we’re so thankful to have found you 😊
Great dog/house sitter. Will definitely book again!

I like to take dogs on walks, and have dealt with hyper-reactive types (bikes dogs, squirrels, you name it). I will not let your dog off leash without permission. I do like visiting dog parks if your dog loves it too and I’m fine taking them off leash. I always keep a close eye as well. Please let me know your dog’s quirks and I’ll be sure to let you know if I can handle it before confirming the booking.
Information Ashley T. would like to know about your pet
I'm tall, so if you have a little dog that needs to warm up to big people, I'd like to know ahead of time. I will not work with dogs aggressive toward people, but have worked with dogs aggressive toward other animals. I will need to know ahead of time if this is the case. All breeds welcome!
A typical day
Trail, parks, dog parks, frisbee, running, walking, car rides, fetch, tug of war, learning tricks, watching TV, snuggles, long naps, chase, treat time, obedience work
Services
Ashley can watch in your home
Availability
I now work from home Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Those days I can spend most of the day with your best friends! Tuesday and Thursday I work in Mpls, so those days are more difficult to leave midday. At this time if your dog cannot be left alone for more than 2 or 3 hours, I may not be the best fit for you. I hope that helps with scheduling. Thanks for reading!
