Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring Principal & Dog Lover
I recently lost my 16-year-old Shih Tzu, Harper, who was a huge part of my life. Caring for him through every stage of life, especially his senior years, gave me extensive experience with patience, routines, medication support, comfort care, and recognizing dogs’ individual needs. I am comfortable caring for both small and large dogs and provide a calm, clean, smoke-free home environment. Your dog will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. There are no other animals or children in the home, allowing for a peaceful environment and plenty of individualized attention. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, safety, and trust are part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone dependable, loving, and attentive.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ashley would be an exceptional pet guardian. I have witnessed her love and compassion for dogs throughout her entire life. She has always been an incredibly caring and nurturing pet parent to her own dog and warmly welcomes her siblings’ “canine cousins” into her pack. I have no doubt that she would provide the same level of attention, care, and affection to any pets entrusted to her through the Rover program.
There is a beautiful kind of love in the way she cares for her dog. She doesn't just meet his needs; she brings joy into his life every single day. He trusts her completely, from walks to the gentle routines to the way she speaks to him with such affection. She has given him not just a home, but a life full of warmth and unconditional love. Anyone can own a dog, but it takes a rare kind of person to make a dog feel cherished.
Ashley cared for our sweet girl Dora from the time she was 10 until 16 years old, and I truly don’t know what we would have done without her. Dora was an elderly dog with her own routines and needs and Ashley always treated her with so much patience, love, and care. She made sure Dora got her short walks, gave her medications when needed, and always made her feel comfortable and safe while we were out of town. One of my favorite things was how close Dora and Ashley’s dog became - they were truly two peas in a pod. It was so comforting knowing Dora had companionship and was genuinely happy while we were away. Even in her older years, Dora absolutely loved Ashley, and it was obvious the feeling was mutual. Ashley is reliable, compassionate, and someone I trusted completely with our old girl.
Ashley is an amazing dog sitter and I completely trust her with my pet. She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely loves animals which shows in the way she treats every dog like her own. My dog is always happy to see her and she does an amazing job making sure he is well cared for. Ashley is also great about communicating with me and keeping me updated, which gives me peace of mind when I’m away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.
Ashley has watched my dog, Oliver, several times, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Oli gets so excited every time he sees her, which says everything about how loved and comfortable he feels with her. She has such a genuine love for animals, and it shows in the way she cares for him. Knowing he’s happy, safe, and getting so much attention gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. Ashley is kind, dependable, and truly treats Oli like he’s her own. I’m so grateful to have found her!

Schedule
As a school principal currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy creating a calm, structured, and loving environment for dogs in my home. During the school year, my availability may be more limited during weekday work hours, but I will continue offering evening, weekend, holiday, and select overnight care. I keep my calendar updated regularly to ensure accurate availability and dependable communication with pet parents.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while away from their families. In my home, dogs will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. My home is smoke-free with no other pets or children, which allows me to provide individualized attention and a peaceful environment. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, routines, and any special needs. I understand how important consistency and communication are for pets, especially seniors or dogs adjusting to a new environment. As a school principal, safety, responsibility, supervision, and communication are part of my daily life, and I bring those same qualities into pet care. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while in my care.
A typical day
A typical day in my care is calm, structured, and focused on each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I begin the day with morning potty breaks and a walk to help dogs get exercise and start the day in a positive way. Feeding times are followed according to the owner’s instructions, and I always ensure fresh water is available throughout the day. Throughout the day, pets will enjoy a mix of supervised outdoor time in my fully fenced yard, gentle play, and enrichment activities such as fetch, short walks, or quiet companionship depending on their energy level and personality. I also make time for rest periods so dogs feel relaxed and comfortable, especially senior pets who may need a slower pace. In the evening, I typically provide another walk, potty break, and calm wind-down time. My goal is to keep pets feeling safe, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible while they are in my care.
