Highlights
Pet care experience
Kind and energetic caregiver
I have always felt very connected to animals. You will find me petting and playing with my friend’s animals at any house party. I have two elderly dogs that I have raised since very young. Navigating different life stages and adapting to changing needs in aging and sick animals is something I am well experienced in. For example my older dog has developed much anxiety around other dogs and I restrict any situations that might cause him discomfort, he also gets an assortment of meds daily including intramuscular injections. The care that I give to animals is fear-free, fun, and loving. I am comfortable walking dogs that may be fearful of other dogs or have high prey drives and am good at using distraction tools to motivate and keep them safe. Thank you for considering me to be a caregiver for your furry loved ones!

Safety, trust & environment
Pets in my home are safe. I keep all food, chemicals, paper, and used underwear (I can’t be the only one haha) out of reach. My house is my dogs house and I frequently find them sleeping in my bed, on the couch, or on the bathroom floor when it’s storming. I’m comfortable cleaning up accidents and giving baths. I will happily adapt to any rules that you may have in your home.
Ratings and reviews
Ashlyn is one of the very few people I trust to care for my medically needy cats! She is so communicative about how they are behaving, sends lots of pictures, and my babies love spending time with her when I'm away. Her dogs are so well attended too, I haven't seen older dogs as happy and mobile as hers before. I've seen her give the oldest one meds, and her patience and gentleness is exactly how I want my pets handled. Definitely book her to care for your fur babies!
I mean seriously how much can I say about Ashlyn? I have know her since elementary school. Ashlyn was always the sweet girl who always moved worms and ants out of the road so they didn’t get ran over. She is fantastic with animals… loves all kinds. She has two pups herself - Lux and Lio. I’ve never seen someone love, cherish, and give so much time to their animals. Ashlyn brings them on daily walks, takes them to nature parks for hiking, and especially enjoys the winter walks. She gives them endless snuggles, pets, and love. She is auntie to my pups Bear and Luna, and to my kiddos as well. She is all around the actual sweetest, most caring and loving person I know. You would be so lucky to have Ash as your sitter. She will treat your fur baby as her own.
Ashlyn is wonderful with animals. She’s one of the few people I trust to care for my large, wild dog! Your dog will love her.
I’ve never meet anyone as kind and caring when it comes to animals (wild and domestic lol) as Ashlyn, she treats my two dogs like her own (like doesn’t already have two spoiled dogs) she would care for your pets the same. Her love for dogs is palpable! I don’t think there’s anyone you could trust more with your fur babies as her!

Schedule
I am a full time graduate student with a fairly flexible schedule. I’m from Minneapolis and traveling with my aging dogs has been harder as they’ve gotten older so I am almost always home on holidays and can make last minute drop ins work.
