Can't wait for him to watch my fur babies again!”

About: I have a history of pet sitting and helping care for a variety of pets on the more wild side from time spent working in shelters as well as my time working with Rover. Dogs, cats, birds, snakes, you name it I've cared for it! I know your little loved one is one of the most precious things in your life and they deserve the upmost care. Their health and happiness are my priority every second they're with me! My schedule is in credibly flexible and I'm open to any last minute changes if you need it! Life can get hectic and you need someone who can work with that. In my own home, I care for 2 dogs. One little chihuahua and one beagle, and they're quite the pair to take care of. Both have very different needs so I've learned alot about balancing their diets, and medications, and keeping keeping active and happy! I would care for your pet as if they were my own, will all the affection and prioritization they could ever woof or meow about! Pet care fits into my routine just like any other important task. I set aside enough time to ensure I throughly provide for the needs of my pets or those that I'm caring for. I adhere to the preferences of my clients, such as asking what would be best for their pet because in my experience, no two pets are alike. Some dogs or cats may prefer to relax and just sit on the couch with you while others may want to run around and play.

Ashleigh's reliability and dedication were evident in the way she managed feeding, walks, and playtime, keeping my dog happy and healthy.
