Love them all like they're my own!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for my own dogs for about 20 years now and I spent 1 year as a Vet Tech Apprentice for a local Veterinary Hospital where I learned to groom all types of pups, administer medications, and even express their stinky glands! I moved on from that profession because as much as I loved working with so many precious puppy pals, I couldn't fight back the tears or my broken heart whenever sick pups came in to take the big sleep. Now I just help care for family dogs and my own beautiful Pit Bull rescue, Freya, who I love with every piece of my heart. I suppose that she is the reason that I felt drawn to Rover in the first place. My Freya and I live in an apartment without a yard for her to frolic in and I work a full time job but I do my best to get her out and about at least 3 times a day. I stumbled upon Rover when I was considering hiring someone to walk her while I'm at work and thought why not also try to give back and help someone else who loves their puppy as much as I love mine. So, here I am! **I am available Monday-Thursday 12PM-3PM, Fridays anytime after 12PM, and on weekends all day unless marked as otherwise on my Rover calendar. Send me a message, I can't wait to meet your dog!**

Ashton is the biggest animal lover I've ever met. I've owned 7 dogs over the last 20 years ranging from a 95lb Chow Shepherd mix to a 4lb teacup Yorkie and she has bonded with all of them. I've had her over to dog sit multiple times over the years. The dogs are always well taken care, from managing their funky diets to being appropriately excercised. Another huge benefit is she doesn't teach them bad habits. Additionally, she has rescued 2 stray dogs. She has loved, trained, and nursed them back to being well integrated parts of the extended family. I don't think she has ever met a dog she didn't love and they all end up loving her right back.

Good Morning, I am Ashton's Mom and I have to say when it comes to animals my daughter has a love for them beyond words. She always says animals are better than people. She has had several of her own dogs and cats and treated them like her own children. She is a great pet Mom. She has, from the time she was a little girl, just created a bond with pets from my pets, to my sisters pets as well as her grandfathers pets. She would be the best dog sitter because of her passion, attentiveness and concern over animals she would never let your organization, owners or the pups down!

I've known Ash for the better part of a decade. She's been a nurturing dog owner and has experience working in a veterinary hospital. She's looked after my dachshund-chihuahua mix when I'm out of town or just working late. He's usually picky about his friends but, he is always happy when she's around. You will be hard pressed to find anybody with a stronger sense of joy or compassion for dogs. She treats all dogs with care and respect, familiar or new.

Information Ashton N. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preference or restrictions but I would like to know if your dog has a history of aggressive and skittish behavior around people or other dogs, as I may walk with them in places that have heavy foot traffic and a large dog population. Although the aggression would not deter me from walks or drop-ins, it would help me better plan a fun and stress free experience for your dog. It's all about them!

A typical day

We will go for nice fun walks on the beach, hiking trails, or even just around the neighborhood! We would also visit and play at the local dog parks, with the owners full consent of course.
