I am a veterinarian in New York City and Ashton has cared for my patients. She is especially wonderful with small dogs that have special needs - whether it’s a dog that doesn’t do well in a kennel, one needing a particular diet or one with specific medical needs. She is able to provide all of this and with a very real love and understanding. If you need to be away from home, choose to leave your special friend with this special woman. Bonnie Brown D.V.M.

For 14 years Ashton has been looking after my dogs while I have been away. She has looked after my dogs as if they have been her own, and I cannot praise her highly enough. Ashton genuinely cherishes and nurtures each and every one. She has taken my dogs to the vet, made them special meals, given them their medications, walked them, played with them and comforted them. Knowing Ashton has been a life-altering pleasure in the years since then. I no longer have to worry when I travel; my dogs are always happy for the change when they get to stay with her.

I have known Ashton for twelve years, during which time she has taken excellent care of Stella, my miniature dachshund, and Freddie, my toy poodle. As a person who genuinely loves animals, Ashton is sensitive, responsible and extremely conscientious. She has made every effort to accommodate my dogs’ particular needs as well as accommodating my schedule. Stella and Freddie are always so excited and eager to see her, and they look healthy and relaxed when I pick them up. I am confident that Stella and Freddie have a great time during their visits with Ashton. Drew Shiflett

We want you to know how much we appreciate the way you took care of our aging dog, Roxy. We know that giving her the medications was a bit complicated but were relieved at how quickly and competently you performed, exceeding all our best expectations. You also handled our young bundle of energy, Daffodil, with equally appropriate aplomb. You seemed to be the best possible cure for our worries and made the start and duration of our absence from our animals bearable. Judith & James

REFERRALS

“Ashton is the best I’ve seen with dogs. The caring and support she provides for her charges, including my Beverly, are beyond the call of duty. Each dog I’ve known in her care since I first met Ashton in 1993 clearly feels safe and comfortable, something I’ve never seen even in the best of kennels. She creates an environment I’d always consider the perfect home away from home for my dog.” Laure Edwards
