I’m Ash, the person behind ASH & HOUND. I built this practice for dogs who need more than a kennel—the ones who pace when you leave, who can’t settle with strangers. With certifications in animal behaviour and years of experience caring for complex-needs dogs, I stay with your pet around the clock in the comfort of their own home. I keep to their routine, notice the subtle signals of stress or ease, and adapt my approach accordingly. There are no rotating staff or drop-in checks—just me, present for every meal, walk and midnight sigh. I respect your home as if it were my own, and I communicate thoughtfully without interrupting your time away. This work is my calling, not a side gig. When families in Ascot, Hamilton and New Farm invite me into their homes, they know they’re hiring a trusted professional who understands anxious dogs and values privacy. Let’s meet to see if I’m the right fit for your dog.
