Availability

As a work-from-home professional, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Work officially ends around 4:30pm for me most days - however, my flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various pet care needs, anywhere between early morning visits to evening care. Weekends are open for more extensive services like boarding/home stays. I'm committed to working with you to provide consistent, attentive care that fits your pet's routine and your schedule.

Information Ashlyn W. would like to know about your pet

To give your pets the best care, I'd love to know their daily routines and quirks. What's their favorite toy? Any dietary needs or allergies? Understanding their personality is key – are they shy, energetic, or have any specific triggers? Please share details on walk schedules, house rules, and any off-limits areas. Emergency contacts, including your vet, are crucial. Lastly, any recent health concerns or behavior changes help me ensure your pet stays comfortable and safe. The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel at home!

A typical day

We'll kick off with a refreshing morning walk or playful wake-up session, followed by breakfast. Throughout the day, I'll mix in fun activities tailored to your pet's favorite pastimes. This could mean fetch in the park for dogs, or wand toy chases for cats. I'll ensure regular potty breaks, fresh water, and any needed medications. Puzzle toys and training games keep minds sharp, while cuddle sessions provide comfort. We'll wind down with a relaxing evening walk or quiet playtime, leaving your fur babies happy and content.

Lifelong Pet Luvr: 12 Yrs Exp & WFH

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a young professional who's grown up surrounded by animals ever since I can remember. This lifelong love led me to officially launch my own pet care business in my hometown at 14, and I've continued providing these services as I've relocated to different cities. Now, with about a decade of professional experience and a work-from-home arrangement, I can offer your pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I've cared for all sorts of pets – from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. Whether it's following special diets, administering medications, or using that one trick that always calms an anxious rescue, I adapt to each pet's unique needs. My remote work situation allows me to be available for midday walks, regular check-ins, or just some extra cuddle time when needed. Communication is crucial to me, so you can expect consistent updates and photos of your pets if desired. By choosing me, you're securing a dependable, seasoned, and adaptable caregiver who'll treat your fuzzy family members with the devotion and care all animals deserve. Let's work together to keep your pets happy and healthy!

Ashlyn came in so clutch helping me out last minute with taking care of my puppy, Stella. She communicated very well, was so positive even though i know my puppy is teething and kind of a pain! And she showed up and left when she said she would. Very much appreciate her consciousness and kindness when caring for my baby!! I would trust her in my home again anytime
