Pet Sitting Avalon

“Great communication. Jacqueline is very responsive and accommodating.”

About: I have been around dogs all my life, mostly big mutts, and actively caring for the family dog since the age of 10. I trained my parents last 2 labradors (always a fun breed). I have elderly dog experience both with a big malamute/shepherd mix and a diaper wearing rat terrier. So I am used to the individualized care that different dogs need. On the fun side of things, long walks, fetch and tug o war are my specialities! I can groom, bathe, give medications, play, walk, run, snuggle, scratch and provide whatever care you prescribe for your favorite family member! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can run on your schedule. If dog sitting, I only need an couple hours in the afternoon to walk my parents dog. If your pup enjoys other dogs and you are comfortable with it they can come along too. My own 3 year old dog is walked at least 4 times a day. He is a lab so he enjoys long walks and trips to the beach, bay, hiking trails, and dog park. I make sure he gets tug of war time and he loves my cats laser pointer. We keep him supplied with dry food at all times because he does not overeat. He gets wet food once a week and an ample supply of people food whenever anyone is in the kitchen. But this is just how my family cares for our pups. I will strive to interrupt your dog's normal routine as little as possible.

“Ben was fantastic! He took such great care of our dog Skye over a long weekend, and even went above and beyond to check on our cats too. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and total peace of mind. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking Ben again!”

About: Took care of dogs since I was 12. Have helped with friends dogs throughout the past couple years. Currently have no pets but plan on getting a dog in the future. Currently working Pitman schedule. Let me know what days you’re looking for and I’ll see if I can make it work! Always open to discussion Great with dogs love getting out of the house and taking walks around the island especially in the fall/spring on the beach. Great with all breeds.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.

About: I've raised dogs my entire life! Over the last 5 years, I've started house sitting for family friends for upwards of 3-4 weeks at a time, adding cats, bunnies, and birds to the rotation. Currently until the end of June, I will be working about 4 days a week as a substitute teacher. I'm usually out of the house by 6:30a and home around 3:15p. If it's a day where I don't have a job scheduled, then I'm free :) I am very adaptable, reliable, clean and thoughtful when it comes to caring for clients animals, especially in their homes. I will be cognizant of whatever rules and guidelines you lay out for me to make sure your animal is getting the best care!

About: I have three of my own dogs at home!! Currently a student and looking to walk some dogs during the day in between and after classes!! Available to check in on dogs, walk dogs, dog sit as well if the timing is right! Just reach out and see if it will be a great fit!! Having dogs of my own I am aware and always ensure safety for everyone around while also making sure the dog is in a safe and trusted environment.

About: I have had many pet’s growing up and always love taking care of, playing, and having fun with my dogs. As of last year I started giving my time to a near by boarding and day care kennel and have absolutely loved it!!! I am currently a graduate student and working an internship which allows me to care for animals in the mornings and late afternoons. The days I do have class I have marked myself unavailable. I have a fenced in yard and three very friendly dogs who love to run and play! My dogs love to go on walks which I hope I have the opportunity to do with yours as well or play in the yard!

About: I am a wildlife scientist with a passion for all animals. I believe that every animal has their own unique personalities and I love getting to know them. Whether caring for birds, dogs, cats (and even octopus!), I provide the same care all animals deserve- a safe environment where they can feel comfortable and confident. A lifelong dog owner, wildlife scientist and lover of all animals. I have a flexible schedule and am able to fit your pets needs in day or night. I will always do my best to accommodate to your schedule- I know some things you can never plan for! I love to spend lots of quality time outside with your pet, encouraging their natural senses and lots of fun play. It is my goal to make your time away from your pet should be as stress free as possible- I am easy to reach, take lots of pictures and will send updates throughout my time with your animals.

“Mariah is amazing! Mariah watched Champ for 4 days over the Easter break. She came 3x each day so we could visit with family.”

About: My mix of dedication, skills, and athleticism makes me stand out from other sitters. As a collegiate athlete, I bring energy and discipline to my work, ensuring your furry friends get plenty of exercise and attention. I've been raising my dogs since high school, taking care of everything by myself, which has taught me how to handle dogs of all ages and temperaments. Juggling life as a student and athlete has helped me master time management and commitment, which I bring to every dog-walking job. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m here to provide awesome service that goes way beyond just a walk in the park. Since I have a structured daily routine, pet care fits in perfectly as a natural bookend to my day. I am fully available for morning walks and feeding before my commitments begin, and I love spending my evenings dedicating quality time to walks, play, and companionship. During the day, I have predictable windows to check in on guest pets, and my weekends are entirely free and open for longer adventures! When I care for pets at my client's home, I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I follow any specific instructions about diet or medications closely. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean space. I spend quality time with them, giving lots of attention and love and playing with dogs. If I notice anything unusual, I let the owner know right away. My aim is to make sure pets are happy and comfortable while their owners are away.

“Sterlin is great! Quick to respond, easy to talk to, accepted my last minute request. She was great with Merlin, kept me posted, send me lots of pics and I could see my dog loved and was having a fun time. I gave me a lot on piece of mind! I’m absolutely gonna book with her next time! Thank you Sterlin!”
