Vet Tech and Animal Addict
Pet care experience
I have been working as a vet tech for almost 2 years now, which means I have extensive veterinarian-led training on how to keep your pet totally safe while you're away! I can administer medications (including injections like insulin), identify life threatening emergencies and intervene quickly, and I can expertly read even the most subtle of animal body language to predict exactly how your pet is feeling. I am also comfortable caring for critters other than cats or dogs, as I have a leopard gecko myself whom I adore! I have been pet sitting for over 10 years now, though I grew up fostering dogs and with 4 of my own. Even with my job, I only work 3 days a week, I offer overnight stays and I have Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends off. If you choose to give me the privilege of caring for your pet, you will NOT regret it! Animals are (and always have been) my entire life, and that's why I'm pursuing a career as a veterinarian after I graduate with my Bachelor's in biology. Until then, though, I just want to help give you peace of mind while you're away. You've never met anybody as in love with your pet as you are...until now.

Reviews
Ashlyn was the best pet/house sitter we have ever had. Not only did she take great care of our animals, she even helped take care of the house when an unexpected accident happened. Will definitely book with her again in the future.
Took great care of our high-energy dog and 2 cats! Wonderful communication & updates throughout. Absolutely hope to continue having Ashlyn’s help looking after our little ones when we travel!
Ashlyn did an amazing job caring for our three animals (1 dog, 2 cats)! It’s always hard going on vacation not knowing how your pets are doing, but we received daily pictures and updates from Ashlyn so we could see how happy our pets were in her care! Our dog, Bunny, went on so many fun adventures with Ashlyn & we could tell that she had an amazing time when we returned. We really could tell how much experience Ashlyn had during our meet and greet & it’s very comforting leaving your animals with someone who is so passionate about their wellbeing and comfort. We will definitely be using her services in the future!
This was my first time leaving the kittens since I got them and was pretty nervous. However, I felt nothing but confident with Ashlyn! She sent lots of updates and we felt like she was loving them just as much as we do! Her personal love for cats was definitely a plus and we felt like she really understood each one of our cats unique personalities. Will definitely be using again in the future!
About Ashlyn B.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have two cats of my own, Evie and Arlo. I am currently renting my house so I can't allow any other pets in. However, I have a car of my own and am willing to stay where your pet is most comfortable: at your home! I have veterinarian-led training on animal behavior, medication administration, and even first aid and emergency care. My car can fit any sized dog and I always make sure to locate the nearest emergency clinic during my stays, as well as collect primary veterinarian information for your pet. I always triple check locks at my client’s houses and I’m comfortable with cameras as long as they are disclosed to me.
Information Ashlyn B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or medical conditions before my visit. I DO NOT PROVIDE SERVICES FOR INTACT DOGS OVER 2 YEARS OLD OR INTACT CATS OVER 1 YEAR OLD. I require a meet and greet before any services are scheduled. I am available to contact at any time during your service, but I automatically provide photos and full updates twice a day (between 10-11am and 5-6pm) unless otherwise specified. If your pet has certain fears or aggression over certain toys, behaviors, etc., that must be disclosed before or at the meet and greet so I can be prepared. Any bad habits that you'd like me to watch out for or specific training commands or requirements are also helpful for me to know!
A typical day
I'm willing to do whatever you'd like me to in order to keep your pet happy! We can go on walks or bike rides, play games, or just lounge around and cuddle (I always have homework that needs doing). I also know dozens of different redirection methods, entertainment tricks, and anything else we might need to keep your pet happy and stimulated. You know your pet best, so I'll follow your (or their) lead.

Availability
I currently work 3 to 4 days a week, usually from 7:45-5pm. These days vary, though, so shooting me a message is the best way to get an accurate idea of my schedule for your trip. On weekends, my schedule is completely open, so I can spend even more time with your pet! I am not taking classes during the summer, so when I’m not working, I’ll be with your pet nonstop! Plus my schedule changes each semester, so maybe by the time your trip comes around, I’ll be available all day on the days you need! There’s only one way to find out: shoot me a message!
