Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet care with vet tech knowledge
I grew up with cats and rode horses as a kid, have had dogs and horses since 2005, & have been pet sitting since 2015. In the last decade I have also been a vet tech, worked in a few kennels, did some grooming, & graduated with my associates in Animal Care. I currently have three dogs of my own (and some farm animals) & have been a dog mom since 2016. I especially love helping older pets or those with mobility issues get around easier.

Safety, trust & environment
I will always suggest a meet and greet so you can show me exactly how your pet likes to be greeted and how you’d like them to be treated and left at the end of my visit. For safety I like to double leash or use a harness for those without reliable recall if out for a walk. I’d rather do a walk where they get tons of time sniffing then make them heal the whole time. I’m happy to practice skills during my visit that you’ve been working on with them. Otherwise I try to use my time with them to decompress but also use their senses. If I feel they’re bored then I bring treats along to practice exercises like sit to stands or back ups. Sometimes even tossing treats in the yard for them to find is mentally exhausting. With recurring walks I am able to really get to know them and what they enjoy and I try to bring more value to the walks each time with that knowledge.
Ratings and reviews
Ashton is amazing. She’s great with our anxious dog who requires multiple medications. Very highly recommended.
Ashton takes great care of our dog, Luna, and is very understanding about her quirks and mild separation anxiety. Very highly recommended!
Ashton W. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Ashton is our favorite sitter by far. She really takes the time to engage with my cats. Even my lazy chunky cat interacts with her.
Ashton took care of my diabetic, senior kitty cat in my home, visiting twice a day to feed him, cuddle with him, and give him his insulin shots. She was amazing! My KB loved her.
Ashton is so great with our pets. She loves them like her own.

Schedule
I am currently doing this full time and I’m always open to messages if I look unavailable on the calendar. My dogs at home spend time with my mom so it’s easy for me to leave and go take care of pets.
