Highlights
Pet care experience
Emotional support human
Hi, I actually go by Asher but Rover won't let me update my name yet. I'm a former direct support professional for disabled humans. Lydia was my first dog, a 75 pound shepherd mix with anxiety that I slowly trained because she came from living in a shelter her entire life. I know what it's like to worry about leaving your pet in a kennel where they can pick up diseases or pests, and they have dozens of animals to look after. In my home your pet would have their own space, be taken for walks regularly, and be given much more attention than at a kennel. Animals need attention in order to thrive, but sometimes busy lives make it hard to give all they deserve. Hiring help is the best way to meet their needs while you're taking care of the other parts of your life. March 2025 note: I am only able to do walks and drop ins at this time. My dog only accompanies me when prearranged with the owner's permission.

Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with senior and disabled pets. I've never hesitated to put an animal first when it's in distress, but my ideal is to help prevent your pets from ever becoming distressed in the first place. Have experience with high anxiety, reactive, and shy animals.
Ratings and reviews
Bethany K. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Asher is so wonderful with our two hounds. The dogs get so excited when Asher arrives. We were away for 3 weeks and there was never a time that we worried about our dogs. Both dogs have some health issues and Asher took care of them so well. Do not hesitate to use Asher. THE BEST!
Asher (Bethany is an outdated name that River hasn’t changed yet) is a wonderful, thoughtful dog sitter. We had Asher and partner Ben dog sit for our two dogs for 5 days. Asher gave regular updates and pictures of our two pups and they seemed always to be tired from all the playing! Our two pups seemed to get along well with Asher’s two pups. Highly recommend Asher for your next dog boarding.
Asher took care of our Oliver for an overnight stay. We came home to a happy boy, who clearly had a good time with his new pal. Thank you, Asher! We will definitely use you again!!
This is a person who really understands dog behavior, and I am very comfortable allowing them to make decisions for my dogs social/emotional/physical needs while at daycare. I have a slow-to-trust dog who needs a little extra TLC, and not everyone really gets what that looks like. We were able to appropriately acclimate all of our dogs together with very patient introductions across 2 meetings. It was clear on picking him up after the first day of daycare that he LOVED his time there.
Asher did a great job with our 2 cats – one of whom is special needs and skittish. They respected our cats' boundaries, were communicative during the process, and eased my mind on leaving my special needs cat with someone he doesn't know. They stopped by multiple times before their stay to make sure they were fully prepared, and went above and beyond on our cats' very extensive care! Thanks Asher!

Schedule
I work overnights thurs-sat and have sun-weds free to do Rover care. Early mornings and evenings are best for me. I typically walk about 25k steps a day and can lift over 200lbs, so that carrying my 90lb dog in an emergency isn't an issue. This makes me ideal for large and giant pet owners, especially those with senior dogs.
