Hey there & welcome to Ashley’s Adventures Dog Care 🐾
I figured it was time for a proper introduction for all the new faces around here!
I’m Ashley — the human behind the scenes (and usually the one covered in dog hair 😅). I moved to the UP from North Dakota almost 6 years ago, and what started as a love for dogs has grown into something so much bigger than I ever imagined.
At home, you’ll usually find me with my two girls — Kimber and Piper 🐶🐶
They’re the heart behind everything I do here.
A little about how I care for your pups:
I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, certified in dog & cat first aid through the American Red Cross, and currently working toward becoming a certified professional canine somatic practitioner. What that means for your dog is simple — I care deeply about their emotional safety just as much as their physical safety. We focus on calm, enrichment, connection, and helping each dog feel safe enough to just be a dog.
Around here, it’s not just about play (although we love a good zoomie session 😝) — it’s about balance. Sniffing, exploring, resting, co-regulating… all the good stuff that supports a happy, healthy nervous system.
I also offer a special program called Fetch & Flourish — created to support dogs whose humans are seeking treatment for mental health, substance use, or are in the process of leaving an unsafe or abusive situation. It provides a safe, loving place for their pup to stay while they focus on getting the support they need. This program is incredibly close to my heart 💜
Outside of dog life, you’ll usually find me spending time with my partner and my girls, heading out on road trips, making a quick run to Dunkin, soaking up lake days, or out on side-by-side rides enjoying everything the UP has to offer 🌲☀️
If you’re here — whether you’re a longtime client or just found the page — I’m so glad you’re here. Truly. This little community means everything to me 🫶🏼
