“Ashton was absolutely fantastic with our young dog, Ellie. It is clear that she adores dogs and will treat all furbabies with as much love and care as she does her own. Ellie became a little under the weather (through no fault of Ashton’s) and Ashton went above and beyond to make sure she was safe and feeling like herself again. What could’ve been a bigger issue was under control very quickly due to Ashton’s care and attention. We were so thankful Ashton was there to help and felt so much better knowing Ellie was in such capable hands. We would absolutely love to work with Ashton again and cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I have had a furry friend in my life in some form or another since I was very young. I have experience with both more reactive and friendly breeds and have no preference on the kinds I work with. I use patience and understanding to make them feel safe. I worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter for two years to multiple dogs and can bring love and affection to any animals in my care. I am responsible, punctual and a great communicator and can be an asset in caring for your dog or other animals while you are away or on a regular basis for walks. I work 4 nights a week from 3pm-11pm downtown. I am not opposed to early morning visits or late nights visits if required and am available for overnights. I do a walkthrough with owners of exact locations for all your pets, learn their quirks, the things they love and don’t like and what might come up during my stay with them. I answer all phone calls and texts from owners while they are away to ensure they feel safe and comfortable knowing their animals are properly cared for.

“Millie did such a great job walking my rescue silver lab, Belle. She took the time to get to know Belle during the meet and greet and asked really good questions. When walking Belle, she arrived on time, communicated well, and was able to redirect Belle, who often struggles to stay calm when other dogs are nearby.

Ashton took wonderful care of my dogs! She was easy to communicate with, highly responsive and even came early for a meet and greet to ensure the dogs (and my) comfort. My dogs loved her and she tired them out while I was at work. It was so awesome to not have to worry about them and have them taken care of! I highly recommend her-two thumbs up!! 👍👍

Jessica does an amazing job with my dobie/shepard mutt. I have used her numerous times for walks when I have aAl long day at work and would highly recommend! I recently moved and it has been 6+ months since the last time she came for a walk and Jessica took extra time to get my dog to warm up and be comfortable (she can be shy) and sent lots of pics and updates.
