Animal whisperer

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals and plan to turn this into a great side job since a vet tech job won’t be able to support me better than my present job. I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I plan on retiring with my own animal shelter (Big goals) I even have a whole photo album of all the animals I have had in my life. I have looked over a lot of my relatives animals, mothers coworkers, and even new friends I have made. They all agree I am great with their animals and they wouldn’t trust anyone else with their fur babies. I am constantly taking care of my cat griffen. My best friend let me adopt him when she had a baby because he requires a lot of attention. If he doesn’t get enough he is very vocal. He needs to get a tooth pulled soon so I’ve been mixing a soft dry food with dry food to promote teeth health. He also loves to catch all the mice under the house so I have to constantly be on a scavenger hunt with him. Also, I dog sit consecutively for 3 people at the moment. I have a fenced in back yard & plenty of room in the basement for an extra litter box. I also go to their houses and stay the night most of the time because it makes their fur babies more comfortable. I watch 5 dogs for a client of mine. One is blind and another has terrible teeth problems that I have to be extra careful around. I always make sure they are fed the appropriate amount of food to the owners schedule, and lots of outside play time and loving. This is for anybody I pet sit for. I even take pictures of their babies and send them daily updates. Just let me know what I can do!

Ashley takes wonderful care of our 5 cats. She is quite personable and very conscientious. We couldn’t ask for better.

Ashley did an awesome job taking care of the kids. We had a great time relaxing in FL and I’m sure it was made more so by not having to worry about the fur babies.

I will definitely use Ashley again! She had no qualms about taking care of our small zoo: 5 cats, 1 ferret, 2 Guinea pigs, and 1 rat! Thank you, Ashley!

Information Ashley W. would like to know about your pet

Any habits to be aware of that I might need to handle in a specific way, if okay around other animals, feeding schedules, allergies, and I’m sure there will be more !

A typical day

I love seeing all sides of a dog! We will get exercise, find their favorite spot (you know the one that makes their leg shake), work on communication, and also have some peaceful time. I walk by myself everyday so if I get to have a walking buddy we might just go to the park a few blocks from my house! Every adventure is different depending on your fur baby.
