About Ashley

  • About me and my experience:
  • Hello! My name is Ashley and I am an American living in Utrecht and studying in Rotterdam and The Hague. I moved here June 2017 to pursue a Master's degree in Migration Studies. I only speak a little Dutch - I am still learning!

  • I am a patient and proven caretaker with a deep, long-term love for animals. To me, pet sitting is less of a way to earn money, and more like a way to do what I enjoy and find great comfort in.
  • I have been sitting pet since age 9 (with parental guidance, or course), all through my teenage years, and off and on as a young adult. I had many different children or pets as a child and worked as a "Junior Zookeeper" at a large zoo for a period of time.
  • During my undergrad, I worked at a dog grooming salon where I was exposed to working with many types of dogs, so few intimidate me! I also have rescued two cats from 4 weeks old. And I got my 8 year old dog, Ace, at 6 weeks so I am familiar with standard training techniques (he is sadly still in Texas).
  • Sometimes I volunteer at animal shelters when I feel I haven't had enough animal contact in a while. This being said, watching after your pets would make me more than happy, and based on my track record it will hopefully make them happy too!
  • About My Services:
  • Currently I am available for daily home visits and house-sitting - for any child or pet, especially cats and dogs. But lately I prefer to focus on house-sitting. As I live in Utrecht and study in Rotterdam and The Hague, I am available to houses in any of the Randstad cities and I am quite flexible as long as public transport is accessible! I will treat your living space with utmost respect and be sure to leave it as clean as it was to start with. And of course I could water any plants and bring in the mail while you are away. Last minute bookings are welcomed, just send me a message to discuss the different possibilities :)
  • I know that equipment care of your pets and home with a new person can be very stressful for all involved, so the introduction visit will be free to give them a chance to build some trust with me and feel comfortable. It will also give us the chance to discuss what you expect of me as your pet sitter and any special needs / diet that need to be addressed.
  • With all of the above, I hope you will consider me about your precious animals and I look forward to becoming friends with them :)

    House Sitting

    Ashley was absolutely wonderful! Very professional, accommodating, and a real pleasure to work with. She was willing to stay overnight and even let our kitties sleep with her! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter. We returned from our trip to very happy and healthy kitties. I will definitely use her services again!

    House Sitting
    Silvana, 2018-07-16

    Ashley stayed at our place for 7 nights to look after our 3 cats. She's very trustworthy and we are extremely satisfied with her service. Not only that she looked after our cats very well, she also took a great care of our house during our absence. Communication was great from the first get go. During our trip, we got updates about how things were at home almost daily. This really meant a lot, because knowing that everything is going well at home with our beloved cats really gave us an extra peace of mind. We are already looking to make use of her service again for our next trip later this year.
