Experienced and Reliable Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
I have seven years' experience sitting for dogs, large and small, and of different ages and abilities. I also worked at a veterinary clinic and boarding facility for six months just after college, so have ample experience walking dogs, handling dogs of various temperaments, and administering medicine. While I was living in Minnesota, I was a dog sitter for one particular family for two years, taking care of a 4-5 year-old Chocolate Lab/Chow who required frequent exercise and lots of love (she's the dog in my photos). I took care of Bosem for short and long periods of time (up to 3-weeks while the owner was on sabbatical), during the summer months and also on snowy winter days in Southern Minnesota. In other words, I am happy to walk dogs in temperatures both high and low. While working as an assistant at a small veterinary clinic in Omaha, Nebraska, I was responsible for walking dogs with health concerns, administering medicine to animals, and attending veterinary health consultations with the primary veterinarian, primarily to provide comfort to anxious pets and taking vitals (temperature and weight, as well as assisting with administering vaccines). Although I ultimately decided to pursue art history and information sciences as my career, I acquired vital skills as a pre-vet student that uniquely qualify me as a dog carer/walker/sitter. Needless to say, I love animals. I am currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Pittsburgh, so have a fairly flexible schedule, and am looking for an opportunity to help out with dog care!
Reviews
Ashling is absolutely wonderful! She helps watch my fur babies when I'm on call at work and I couldn't be more appreciative of the care and cuddles she gives them. As an added bonus, she sends me the cutest pics too!!
Ashling was a wonderful house-sitter! We hired her for 4 nights to stay with our chihuahua-
Ashling is wonderful! Kept us updated and took great care of our cat and dog. Highly recommend.
Ashling is fantastic! She has a calm and warm presence around dogs. She sent photos and updates. My dogs were at ease with her. Would be happy to have her watch my pups again!
