Safety, trust & environment
I focus on building trust and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I start by letting the pet get to know me—this might include gentle pets, playtime, and giving them a treat or two (with the owner’s permission). I always allow them to sniff and approach me at their own pace, creating a calm and positive first impression. When it’s time for a walk, I’m patient and gentle with putting on a harness or leash, knowing that some dogs can feel nervous or reactive during this process. One of my own dogs is reactive, so I’m experienced in keeping high-value treats on hand and using positive reinforcement to reward good behavior. I also talk calmly to dogs during walks to keep them focused and reassured, ensuring they stay happy and relaxed. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where every pet feels at ease and cared for, whether it’s at home or on an outdoor adventure.
Information Ashlyn J. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know how much energy your dog has! Are they high-energy and love to run, or do they prefer a slower pace with plenty of cuddles afterward? Are they playful and enjoy games like tug-of-war, or do they need mental stimulation through treat training? It’s also helpful to know what kind of treats your dog likes. I understand some dogs can be picky eaters, so I’d be happy to bring treats tailored to their preferences or dietary needs. The more I know about your pet’s personality and routines, the better I can ensure they have a safe, fun, and fulfilling experience!
A typical day
This depends on you and your pet! My typical day includes a mix of walks, trips to the dog park, playtime with toys, and treat-based training sessions. I love keeping dogs engaged and happy, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply exploring the outdoors. I’m flexible and happy to tailor the day to your dog’s unique needs and preferences. Whether your pup thrives on lots of exercise, mental stimulation, or just extra cuddles, I’ll make sure their day looks exactly how you want it to!

Pet care experience
I’ve been doing this forever! I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to cockatiels I cared for in the past. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with animals on their level—I’m not afraid to get goofy, get on the ground, and engage in play that truly makes them happy. I also bring a unique perspective from taking a hands-on farm animal course, which taught me patience and how to handle animals with different temperaments and needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a shy senior dog, I’m skilled at reading their body language and making sure they feel safe and loved. Beyond play, I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s exercise, mental stimulation, or just a little extra TLC. (Tender Loving Care) I focus on creating a fun, nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s personality. I love animals and I love to help people. I'm doing Rover to fill my time in between sessions as a massage therapist.

Reviews
Ashlyn was awesome, communicated a ton and went above and beyond when taking care of my cat. Would definitely book her again.
Ashlyn has been such a great help with getting Cleo walked while I’m at work. She communicates really well and takes really cute pictures of Cleo during all of her walks.
Ashlyn has been consistent, reliable, and highly communicative. I am super happy with the walking service she is providing my pup while I am at work. She has been a great help.
First time booking a drop in in this app. And Ashlyn was a dream! My puppy was nervous as it was his first time having someone come check in while I was at work. She went above and beyond for my puppy and I! And sent the cutest photos. Thank you for your help Ashlyn!
