Pet Sitter in Sacramento, California

Hi,
My name is Ashley, and I am looking to expand my work with animals. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I have cared for dogs, cats, and horses ever since I was young. I have always had pets growing up, and I have had many petsitting jobs on and off over the years. Recently I have decided I want to make petsitting and animal care a more central part of my life and I've been making an effort to take a more professional approach with my experience. Why not do more of what you love?
My first official job out of high school was the local horse stables, so I have experience mucking stalls, grooming, exercise, etc. My father also had horses as I was growing up, so I have no fear and I love them greatly! Currently I have been working with PB Soc at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter as a volunteer, so I have experience with all kinds of dogs with different demeanors, and many are under stress. I am not afraid to take on cases with dogs that take longer to warm up to new people, dogs that are high strung and anxious, etc. I have a lot of experience with large dogs that are often wrongfully portrayed as "aggressive" by breed, but I believe it is environment, not breed, that often causes bad behavior in animals. I LOVE pitbulls! I am working on building up my obedience training skills. I have experience with overnight stay and I am more than willing to do so.
I am comfortable doing regular walks and exercise, play time, feeding, administering necessary meds, overnight stay, trips to the dog park, cleaning up, etc. I do not have experience in grooming dogs and cats, but I do have experience grooming horses. I do have another job working for a local brewery, so it is preferable to have at least 2 weeks notice if possible so I may make any necessary schedule adjustments to give your fur babies the proper care and attention needed. If you have any more questions for me, don't hesitate to ask!

Ashley is a phenomenal dog sitter. I actually booked her a year ago for this weekend so my husband and I could go out of town for our anniversary. We pretty much plan our trips around Ashley's schedule. She's that good.
