Pet Sitting Avalon

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.

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!

“June was excellent and attentive to my senior kitty— would definitely hire her again!”

“Marlena is fabulous, extremely professional and truly cares about the quality of her work. She updated me with each visit with adorable pics of my two digs and played with them for an extended period of time when it rained too hard for them to go on a walk. She even brought in packages that were at my doorstep and straightened the house. Marlena is a keeper and my pups are excited to have her as their caretaker!!”

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.

“Victoria was great with our Carly! Will definitely use her again!”
