Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to unlock/lock or enter codes to maintain home safety. I am comfortable crating dogs, keeping them seperate from other animals, and working with reactive individuals (see bottom for details). I am also comfortable cleaning up after pets in or outside the house aswell as administering first aid and medications.

Information Ashton K. would like to know about your pet

Before taking on any new dogs I request to meet clients, animals, and homes. These meets cost no fee and are for everyone's saftey. Here are more things to let me know before our first meet! - Name, breed, age, sex, and size - Temperament & reactivity - Energy level - Medication & administration - Disabilities/medical concerns - Training tools - Any "quirks"/fun facts ** Im not afraid of challenging or reactive dogs and work at their pace. I'm willing to use any collar, leash, or harness you have assuming it's in accordance to the dog's personality and I can use them safely. If not, I may suggest other leads and tools to keep everyone safe. The more I know about your pet, the safer and happier we all are!

Drop-In: - Let out (clean up upon request) - Play or/and cuddles - Puzzles, chews and/or kongs (disinfected after every use) - Ongoing training (upon request) - Medications (upon request) - Bath (upon request) ** Please book a walk separately if your dog needs one aswell.

Pet care experience

I work at Central Bark Rochester and have hours of volunteering, education, and hard work in canine care and training. My training and learning continues by the day. Im well versed in many different care/training practices and can adjust to each dog's individual needs well. Not only do I value the desires of pet parent's, but the feelings and consent of their furry friends.

Ashton did a great job looking after my senior dog and cat while I was on vacation. He was on time, communicated well and kept me updated. He even sent a picture of the pets without me having to ask. It’s clear that he really cares about animals, even my grumpy old chihuahua. I would absolutely recommend Ashton to anyone that’s looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter/walker.
