At Paws and Relax NH, your dog stays happy, loved, and cared for — right in the comfort of their own home. Whether you’re away for a weekend or a few weeks, Ashley brings peace of mind and plenty of belly rubs.
Hi, I’m Ashley — the human behind Paws and Relax NH. I’m a registered nurse, lifelong animal lover, and proud dog (and cat!) whisperer based in Hampton Beach, NH.
I provide in-home pet sitting for single pets, multiple pets, and animals of all ages — from energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets that just want extra snuggles. With my nursing background, I’m experienced in administering medications and caring for pets that need a little more attention or structure.
I love getting outside for long walks and playtime, but I’m just as happy spending quiet evenings on the couch with a movie and a snoozing pup or purring cat by my side. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away — so you can truly paws and relax.

Every pet and home is unique, so I tailor my care to fit your animal’s needs and routine.

“Ashley has been watching our pets since 2011 — everything from a Boxer mix to a Boston Terrier, French Bulldogs, and even our two cats. She’s cared for them all as if they were her own, keeping their routines and comfort front and center every time we’re away.
Our dogs absolutely adore her and light up the second they see her. In our house, she’s not just a sitter — she’s Auntie Ashley.”
