Pet care experience

Rescue Dog Mom with Fenced Yard

I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and my passion has only grown stronger over the years. Currently, I share my home with two small rescue dogs and a senior dog, giving me firsthand experience in managing diverse needs—from energetic pups to more mature companions. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of rescue dog behaviors and senior pet care. I approach each pet with patience and empathy, ensuring they feel safe and loved. Whether it's maintaining a consistent routine, administering medications, or providing gentle companionship, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each animal. I also offer in-home pet visits, allowing your pet to remain in the comfort of their own environment. This minimizes stress and anxiety, as they can stick to their regular routines and stay surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and smells . Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I ensure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve while you're away. With a fenced yard and a heart full of love, your pet will feel right at home. I'm committed to offering the highest standard of care, treating your pet as if they were my own.

Ashtan & Josh have been wonderful! They took such good care of my baby girl. They kept me updated with pictures and always told me how she has been doing. My girl was happy, stayed healthy and safe. I highly recommend boarding or simply babysit your pup. Thank you again Ashtan & Josh, y’all are amazing!

Ashtan was the best with my babies. She took care of them like they were her own. She was extremely patient with them since it was the first time they met her. At the end they loved her. I will definitely hire her again 😁

Safety, trust & environment

In-Home Visits: During my visits, I focus on maintaining your pet's daily schedule to minimize stress. This includes feeding, administering medications if needed, and providing companionship. I also ensure that your home remains secure by locking doors and windows and adhering to any specific instructions you provide. Dog Walking: For dog walks, I prioritize safety and enjoyment. I use appropriate leashes and harnesses, choose routes that suit your dog's energy level, and ensure they have time to explore and relieve themselves. Post-walk, I clean up after your dog and offer fresh water to keep them hydrated. I am committed to clear communication and will discuss my schedule with you to ensure it aligns with your pet's needs. Your pet's well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and I aim to provide care that feels like a trusted friend is looking after them.

A typical day

As a dedicated pet sitter with a swing shift schedule on weekdays, I understand the importance of flexibility and clear communication in providing exceptional care for your pets. My work hours vary between 8-hour morning and evening shifts, allowing me to offer a range of pet care services that fit seamlessly into your pet's routine. Morning Visits: On mornings when I'm available, I start the day by visiting your pet's home to provide fresh food, clean water, and any necessary medications. I also offer companionship, playtime, and a walk if your pet enjoys it, ensuring they start their day with attention and care. (If I work morning shift, I will not be able to visit between the hours of 5:30am-12:00pm. I do not mind making a stop before coming in to work if desired!) Evening Visits: During evening hours, I can return to your pet's home for another round of feeding, playtime, and a walk if desired. (If I work evening shift, I still do not mind making an evening stop to check in on your pet, but it may be late! Unavailable hours 12:00pm-9:00pm) This visit helps your pet wind down and prepares them for a restful night. Boarding Care: Always Someone Home When your pet stays with us, they’re almost never alone. I work swing shifts on weekdays—some days mornings, other days evening. When I'm at work, my partner Josh is home or 1-2 hours from being home, ensuring your pet has company, playtime, and attention. We make sure your pet feels loved and secure, with no more than a 2 hour gap between our shifts. If you are booking a weekend stay, no need to worry - we will both be home! Our home is a safe, pet-friendly environment with a fenced yard for outdoor fun. Whether it's cuddles on the couch, backyard play, or quiet time, your pet will feel right at home. We’re committed to providing the care and companionship your pet deserves. Clear Communication: I prioritize open communication with clients to ensure that your pet's needs are met without compromise. By discussing schedules in advance, I can accommodate your pet's care requirements, whether it's during the day, evening, or weekend. This flexibility ensures that your pet receives consistent attention and care, even when your schedule changes. Whether it's a midday walk, evening playtime, or weekend companionship, I'm here to provide the care your pet deserves.

To provide the best care for your pet, it's essential to understand their unique behaviors and preferences. Here are some key aspects I consider: Behavioral Patterns: Knowing how your pet reacts to your absence helps me anticipate their needs. For instance, some pets may become anxious when left alone, while others are more independent. Understanding these behaviors allows me to offer appropriate comfort and reassurance. Triggers and Fears: Identifying any specific fears or triggers, such as loud noises or certain environments, enables me to create a safe and calm experience for your pet. Social Interactions: Understanding how your pet interacts with other animals and people ensures that I can manage their social experiences appropriately, whether they are sociable or prefer solitude. Health and Medical Needs: Being aware of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications your pet requires allows me to provide the necessary care and attention to their health needs. Daily Routines: Maintaining your pet's regular schedule for feeding, playtime, and walks is crucial for their well-being. Knowing these routines helps me keep your pet comfortable and secure. By discussing these aspects during our initial meeting, we can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for your pet while you're away. I'm committed to providing personalized care that aligns with your pet's individual needs.
