Pawsitively purrfect pet-sitting!
Pet care experience
I have never not had a pet in my household. Growing up I always had multiple dogs and cats, among other fun animals, like fish and frogs. The experience of growing up surrounded by dogs and cats gave me my love of animals. Because of this, I am hoping to pursue a career in environmental law because of my passion for animal rights and conservation. I have experienced all of the good and bad that comes with caring for the special animals in our lives. I am comfortable administering medicine, special diets, and other special regimens your pet may need because I have had to do so for many of my own pets. I have experience caring for others pets as well as my own, both routine visits and weekend overnight stays. I am happy to take care of any size dog and have experience with puppies as well as senior animals. I love cats and am hoping to care for some amazing kitties as well as pups! Being a college student and missing having my own pets around everyday, I am so excited to have the opportunity to take care of yours! With my flexibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail, I will ensure that any instructions you leave for me will be followed in order to give you and your pets the best experience possible!
Reviews
You can tell Ava really liked animals. She was very sweet to my anxious pup and over friendly kitty!
Ava did a great job taking care of my pup and keeping me updated! 🐶
Ava took wonderful care of my Scottish Fold, Opal! I had to travel for work and was so stressed about leaving Opal alone for two weeks, but Ava definitely came to the rescue! Opal was well loved and cared for while I was away. Plus, Ava graciously tolerated my cat-momma worry. Highly recommend and she will be my go-to sitter from now on.
Ava was great with our cats and sent us pictures and updates. Would definitely book with her again.

I am unable to provide pet-sitting services in my own home, but I am happy to make your pet feel safe and comfortable in their own home while their family is away. I know that it is scary or unsettling for many pets to be left in thee care of a stranger, so I always strive to create genuine connections with the animals and create a fun and loving environment that your pup or kitty will enjoy!
Information Ava K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or medical care so that I can ensure I can give them the proper care they need. If your furry friends are particularly shy or wary of new people, I would be happy to set up a meet and greet ahead of time so that we can get to know each other!
A typical day
I love to take the dogs out for walks to explore new places. It is also fun to stay home and play in the comfort of their own backyard as well. Playing ball, frisbee, tug, etc. are all good ways to keep dogs happy and expend any extra energy they may have! Even though you can't play these types of games with cats, I'm always happy to use cat toys and engage with feline friends that way!
Services
Ava can watch in your home
Availability
I am a full-time undergrad student at George Mason University, so I'm looking to mostly spend weekends caring for pets! On weekends I can stay the night with your pets and check on them multiple times a day. I don't have classes on Fridays, so my weekends are usually open from Friday to Sunday! I am also available for check-ins on most Tuesday and Thursday afternoons after 2pm.
