Serene Tails Pet Care was founded by Ashley Armstrong CVT, VTS (ECC)(retired), a certified veterinary technician and certified death doula.

I possess over two decades of experience in providing care for a wide variety of animals. My goal is to provide top-notch care to you and your family whether it be through pet-sitting services or end-of-life decision making/palliative and hospice care. My interest in palliative and hospice care stemmed after training and working as a (human) respiratory therapist during COVID, after this experience and moving back to veterinary medicine I wanted to see a change in how we treated the end-of-life for our beloved pets. After research I 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 fear out of the process so that we may be better prepared for the inevitable.  

I am currently enrolled in the ‘Animal Hospice Group’ certification process to become a Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner (CAHP). I understand the importance of trust and compassion when it comes to caring for your furry family members, which is why I will go above and beyond to provide the best care possible. I will work alongside your primary care veterinarian, as a 'case manager', and patient advocate when necessary. I do not diagnose, prescribe medications or perform surgery/euthanasia.
