Availability
I work primarily from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible and reliable schedule for pet care throughout the day and week. Because my time is not limited to fixed shifts, I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as short-notice requests when available.

About Ashton D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Pet care is intentionally built into my daily routine, not treated as a side task. I plan my work hours around scheduled walks, drop-ins, and care visits so pets receive consistent attention rather than rushed check-ins. This flexibility allows me to spend proper time with each animal and adjust care based on their individual needs.
Information Ashton D. would like to know about your pet
Every pet has their own quirks, strengths, and weaknesses. To provide the best care possible, please let me know: Daily routine: feeding times, walks, play, and rest Energy level: couch companion or high-energy adventurer Temperament: shy, confident, anxious, reactive, or selective with people/animals Triggers: loud noises, other dogs, strangers, handling sensitivities Training & commands: what they know and how they respond Leash behavior: puller, reactive, or relaxed walker Medical needs: medications, allergies, or health concerns Comfort items: toys, blankets, treats they love House rules: furniture access, feeding rules, off-limits areas Emergency info: vet details and preferred contacts The more I know, the better I can tailor care to keep your Pokémon happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day is built around balanced care, enrichment, and positive engagement, tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. For Dogs: Structured walks focused on exploration, sniffing, and safe exercise Playtime with toys, fetch, or tug (as appropriate) Basic training reinforcement using existing commands Calm enrichment activities like scent games or puzzle toys Relaxed companionship and downtime to prevent overstimulation For Cats: Interactive play sessions (wand toys, chasing, enrichment games) Window watching, perch time, and quiet companionship Gentle brushing or affection when welcomed Treat-based enrichment or puzzle feeders Respectful space for independent cats who prefer observation Activities are adjusted to match age, temperament, and energy levels. Whether a pet enjoys active play or quiet company, my goal is to keep them mentally stimulated, comfortable, and content while maintaining their usual routine.

Care That Treats Pets Like Family
Pet care experience
I provide reliable, professional pet care backed by hands-on experience raising and training dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m comfortable working with high-energy, stubborn, anxious, or reactive dogs and understand that “difficult” behavior is often just misunderstood communication. I handle these cases with patience, structure, and calm consistency.

Great guy, reliable and brilliant with the dogs.




Such a lovely guy. All our animals were impeccably looked after and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. Will definitely ask Ashton to look after things again.
