“Ashley quickly bonded with our two dogs -she was very thoughtful, and took the time to get to know each of them and their various quirks. I feel sad leaving my girls when we go anywhere, but I felt so much better knowing that they were in caring, loving hands. Ashley was very responsive and communicative, sending photos and keeping us updated. We highly recommend Ashley!”

About: I have been a sitter for 4 years for friends and neighbors. My care has included walking, potty breaks, overnight care, and more! I’ve lived with Dobermans my whole life and am capable of care for any dog of any size! I am a full time student at Cal Poly humboldt, my classes are in the morning and I am completely open in afternoons, weekends and holidays! I am active and love to play with animals!! My dogs at home are escape artists so I know how to avoid an escape due to fences. I have kennel trained multiple of my dogs and prefer to use kennels for bigger dogs.

“Lela was really great with Esther!! She sent photos of her throughout the weekend and took great care of my place and my sweet girl. I would definitely recommend her to watch your special pet!”

“Stari was amazing with our dogs. We have one difficult dog and Stari was great with her. She stayed and watched our house, took the dogs out on walks around the neighborhood and to the beach, and most importantly took really good care of our dogs. She sent photos and they were always content and happy! I would highly recommend her to watch your pets! Thanks Stari”
