Pet care experience
I am a highly experienced dog sitter, walker, and trainer of many different sized dogs. I am a certified professional dog trainer with my CPDT-KA certification. I provide private dog training lessons & have many years experience training service dogs. I am the founder & CEO of Bayside Service Dogs - a non-profit service dog organization. I can provide proper puppy socialization, basic obedience, behavior modification tips, etc. I am a certified CGC evaluator & can perform CGC tests for your pups if you would like. I have been exposed to different dog personalities, breeds, and dog behavior. I will be sure to provide the best care for your pup and treat them as if they were my own!

Reviews
Ashlie did a fantastic job caring for our high energy puppy Portabella. She was kind, thoughtful, and communicative, and most importantly, we love picking up such a happy & sleepy puppy after a fun day! Highly recommend to anyone looking for some pup care!
She was great at keeping us updated with our dogs and had the house very well set up for them, I would definitely go back to her in the future
This was our second time having Ashlie check on our 3 dogs while we were away for a week long trip and our dogs remembered her! Ashlie was very communicative and quick to report to us a health concern about one of our dogs. Luckily this was a chronic issue so my dog was ok by the time we got home. We appreciated her visiting our home while we were away and will definitely continue to use her in the future.
Ashlie was so sweet to my 3 dogs while we were away for a whole week. She was very communicative and easy to get a hold of when I needed to reach her. The Rover “report cards” are a great way to let us know how each dog did with every visit. We already have Ashlie booked for our next trip away from home later this summer. We will definitely continue to use Ashlie and continue to recommend her to our family and friends!

I am unable to commit to overnight care in your home. I am only able to care for pups in my home who are equipped to be in the crate while I am away! I am able to still offer overnights for your pups in your home through the use of drop-in visits. I can complete up to 4 visits/day for drop-ins! See the schedule above.
Information Ashlie S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how well your pup is on the leash & if they are okay with other dogs. Totally fine if they are not perfect on the leash or not friendly with other dogs. I would just like to know this to be prepared for my visit with them!
A typical day
I can walk your pup in your neighborhood. I am always extra cautious of traffic and of the pavement being hot. If it is a long stay, I do not do mid-day walks in the summer and walk during morning & evening visits when it is not extremely hot outside. For dogs staying in my home, all pups will need to be crated when I leave them for safety purposes. I do not mind working them through their crate training needs, but I want you as the owner to be comfortable knowing they will need to be crated at times when at work or running errands. My work schedule is flexible to allow for potty breaks & exercise. I also provide mental stimulation to every pup through the use of puzzle toys, lick mats, stuffed kongs, training games, etc. as that is an important and enriching aspect to a dog’s needs.

Availability
I work full time, but make time in my schedule to care for your fur babies! I treat every client as if they were my own pet & ensure they are taken care of how I would expect my own dog sitter to do so with my pups. Drop-In Visits (weekdays & weekends): Breakfast/potty/walk: 630/730am (if working) 8/9am (if off work) Afternoon potty/exercise: 12/1pm Dinner/potty/walk: 5/6pm Evening potty/exercise: 930/1030pm If requesting 3 visits/day: AM: 630-9am Midday: 12-2pm PM: 830-10pm Overnight Boarding: I can only accept pups who are crate trained. While in my care, pups are taken out more often than drop-ins & are with me at all times in my home. I have my own dog room with many dog beds, crates, toys, etc. for your pup to have a great vacation while you are away as well. I have a TV in the room that is on 24/7 when there are furry guests staying overnight & I usually sleep in the room with them if they are having trouble settling down at nighttime or are stressed in a new home. Doggy Daycare Requests: My work schedule varies every week, I can accomodate on the days I am off work which i try to update as best as I can. You can message me to request a date, but I may not always be available due to my work schedule changing weekly! However, if I am able to care for your pup for doggy daycare requests, I will provide adequate exercise and enrchiment for your pup for the day. I can also provide any meals that you may need me to give as well.
