I will recommend Ashley to my friends and family. Thank you Ashley!”

19. Taylor K.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I love teaching/training dogs new things & watching them get excited when they learn something new. I have a soft spot for rescue dogs and have a rescue of my own. I currently work full-time as the Business Office Manager for an assisted living community. I am available in the evenings & on weekends for all of your pet walking needs and am available Friday/Saturday nights only to pet/house sit. My rescue is crate trained, though she has free roam of my apartment during the day while I'm at work. While I cannot keep pets over night with me, I can stay at your home, where your pet will be more comfortable.
