Serene Tails Pet Care was founded by Ashley Armstrong CVT, VTS (ECC)(ret.), a certified veterinary technician and retired technician specialist in emergency/critical care. She has 20 years of experience in caring for animals. Her goal is to provide top-notch pet sitting services. She has most recently taken an interest in palliative and hospice care after training and working as a (human) respiratory therapist during COVID, after this experience and moving back to veterinary medicine she wanted to see a change in how we treated the end-of-life for our beloved pets. After research she found many groups that have the same compassion for this movement and goal for our pets, often we focus so hard on the cure in medicine we forget that dying is a part of life, too. Let us take the fear out of the process so that we may be better prepared for the inevitable. She is currently enrolled in the Animal Hospice Group certification process to become a Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner (CAHP). She understands the importance of trust and compassion when it comes to caring for your furry family members, which is why she will go above and beyond to provide the best care possible. She will work alongside your primary care veterinarian, as a 'case manager'. She does not diagnose, prescribe medications or perform surgery/euthanasia.
