Hello! My name is Ashley and I am a lifelong animal lover dedicated to providing a safe, joyful, and comfortable environment for your furry family members. My motivation for pet sitting comes from a very simple place: I have reached my personal limit for permanent pets in my home, but my heart still has plenty of room to give. I know how stressful it can be to head off on holiday wondering if your pets are happy, so I decided to open my home to help others travel with peace of mind.
I grew up surrounded by animals and have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and even chickens. Currently, I share my home with my own friendly small dog Percy and a resident cat, Bronte. I have two hens Brownie and Honeycomb. Because of this, I specialise in hosting social pets only, who enjoy the company of others. My own animals are well-socialised and welcoming, ensuring your pet feels like part of a pack rather than a guest in a kennel.
My Experience & Services
Proven Care: Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience looking after the animals of friends and family.
Medical Care: I am fully comfortable and experienced in administering medications to pets who require a specific health routine. If there is an emergency i am confident in being able to follow all directions given and provide some basic first aid before seeking urgent veterinary help.
Safe Environment: I offer a secure, loving home environment where pets are treated as family, with plenty of attention.
Health and Safety Requirements
To ensure the safety of my own pets and yours, I maintain a very high standard of health hygiene. I only welcome guests who are:
Fully Vaccinated: Current vaccination records are required.
Treated: Must be up to date with flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
Socialised: Dogs that will be looked after in my home must be small-to-medium sized and friendly with other dogs and cats. I am happy to petsit in your home, walk or house visit all types and sizes of animals.
Mornings walks will happen before the hottest part of the day and same in the evening for a relaxed walk without becoming dehydrated. Once at home there is time to play or rest whenever needed with frequent trips out into the back yard for toileting and/or play time. I am happy to stick to whatever feeding times you require for your pets and keep to the same routine and rules as closely as possible.
Trained: Visiting cats must be well-trained and comfortable cohabitating with both dogs and other felines.
I look forward to meeting your beloved companions and giving them a holiday of their own while you are away!
