Meet Ashley
With 15 years of pet-care experience, Ashley provides thoughtful, dependable care built around each pet's own routine and personality.
From energetic puppies and large breeds to senior and special-needs dogs, she adapts to what each pet needs — longer walks and enrichment, a slower pace, medication, or simply extra patience.
Communication matters here. Expect regular photos and honest updates, so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing.
Experience
A decade and a half caring for dogs of every size and energy level.
Comfortable with pets who need a slower pace or extra patience.
Oral medications given on schedule, exactly as instructed.
Daily activity matched to each dog's age and energy.
Photos and messages throughout your pet's stay.
Feeding, medication, and routines followed as you've written them.
Approach
Every pet is different. Ashley follows your instructions and shapes the day around your dog's normal routine, personality, energy level, and comfort.
Depending on the dog, that might mean neighborhood walks, nearby trails, playtime, enrichment, plenty of sniffing and exploring — or simply settling in and relaxing.
The namesake
Julian isn't just the namesake of Julian & Co. — he's Ashley's sidekick and a big part of why this business exists.
Born on Ashley's birthday in December 2019, Julian was the last male left from his litter and came into her life just before the world shut down. What started as lucky timing became an inseparable bond — and eventually the inspiration behind Julian & Co.
