Availability
Because I’m a full-time teacher, my schedule is a little unique, but I make it work in a way that keeps your pets happy and cared for without feeling rushed. • Weekends: This is when my calendar is the most open! I’m available most Saturdays and Sundays for drop-in visits throughout the day — morning, afternoon, and evening. • Weekdays (Mon–Fri): My time is more limited due to my teaching schedule. I’m available early in the morning before work and again in the late afternoon/evening after school. To make sure I can be on time and give your pets the attention they deserve, I can only accept weekday visits for clients who are in close proximity to me. Because of my schedule, I currently only offer drop-in visits — no overnights or extended stays. This way, I can give your pets the focused care they need without overcommitting. Drop-ins are perfect for feeding, potty breaks, walks, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of love while you’re away. Even with my teaching career, pet care is a big part of my life. I take it seriously (while still having fun with your pets), and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved until you get home.

Safety, trust & environment
When you share instructions for your pet’s care, I follow them closely — after all, you know your pet best. I provide detailed updates after each visit (with plenty of pictures!) so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m happy to walk your pet around the yard or through the neighborhood, provide playtime if that’s what they enjoy, and crate them in the morning or at night if that’s part of their routine. My goal is simple: give you complete peace of mind while providing your pet with the same level of love, attention, and care they get from you.
Information Ashton N. would like to know about your pet
These questions help me get to know your pet so I can love and care for them exactly the way you do! 🐾 • Do they have set meal times? • Do they need to be crated at certain times? • Will they need any medication? • How often do they need exercise, outside playtime, or potty breaks? • What’s their treat schedule (or are they more of a “treat whenever I look cute” type)? • Do they get along well with children, dogs, or cats? If there’s anything special about their routine, quirks, or preferences — from bedtime snuggles to a favorite toy — let me know. The more I know, the more I can make sure your pet gets the highest level of care, comfort, and love while you’re away. Because at the end of the day, I don’t just watch pets… I love them like my very own. ❤️🐶🐱
A typical day
Drop-In Visits: Think of me as your pet’s stand-in best friend while you’re away. We can take a stroll around the neighborhood, chase toys in the yard, play a little tug-of-war in the living room, or just snuggle up for some good old-fashioned couch time. Whatever makes your pet happiest, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled until you get back.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Ashton… full-time teacher/extra full-time animal enthusiast, and your pet’s soon-to-be favorite human (other than you, of course)! I’ve been pet sitting on Rover since 2021, but I’ve been the go-to “Can you watch my dog/cat/goat?” friend for over a decade. I’ve cared for everything from purse-sized pups to dogs the size of small horses, plus cats, guinea pigs, and yes… actual goats. When I’m not shaping young minds in the classroom, I’m happily spoiling pets like they’re my own — walks, snuggles, playtime, belly rubs, and enough photo updates to make your camera roll jealous. Pet sitting is a family affair for me: my husband occasionally joins in, and my 13-year-old daughter (aka the animal whisperer) is my secret weapon for winning over even the shyest pets. Please note if you do not prefer that I include my family during visits, that is not a problem and individual care will be arranged! The goal is to make you and most importantly your pet(s) feel safe and comfortable! If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals — with a little humor sprinkled in — I’d love to make sure your furry (or feathered, or hooved) family member feels safe, loved, and downright pampered while you’re away.
Reviews
Ashton was absolutely amazing! Our crew loved her and her daughter. Fantastic communication, no notes!
Ashton is excellent with my kitties. We're lucky to have her. I highly recommend her!
Ashton was great! Her communication was 10/10. She made sure all food and water bowls were full at all times. Lots of play time was had during her visits. She even cleaned the liter box and the accidental puke mess. My cats were very well taken care of and enjoyed Ashton as their sitter. I highly recommend her services.
Ashton always take such great care of my cat and really goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and everything is as stress free as possible!
