Dog Sitting Avalon

About: As a lover of all animals, I would like to help you keep your pet happy and healthy with in-home play time and walks. As an owner of two high energy dogs myself, I know how important it is to keep your pets entertained and engaged. Last minute meetings and long days away from home are no problem anymore. I am available to take your pup of any size and breed for personalized strolls during the day for potty breaks and to keep things interesting. With my in-home visits, you can be assured that your pet is happy and engaged while you're away. My experience volunteering at animal shelters and grooming in a professional setting will keep you at ease while your pets are in my care. My care experience also includes cats and reptiles. I am currently working part- time in the evenings, so ideally I make my visits in the early morning and throughout the day. I do have quite a bit of flexibility, so if I know in advance I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet's needs. Stop- in visits where I can let your pets out for potty breaks or play time to break up long days. Walks are personalized to fit your pet's needs. Visits will always come with a photo of your pet.

“Portia provided excellent care for my senior cat during a recent 6-day travel trip. My fur baby can be cranky, but I truly believe Portia understands cats and that their personalities can be different. Portia took the time to schedule a meet-and-greet that went great! This really put my mind at ease! My cat and I felt very comfortable with Portia. I plan to request Portia for future cat visits when I travel.”

About: Caring for pets has always been part of my life, not just something I do, but something I truly love. I share my home with my big-hearted Golden Retriever Lucy Goose who brings joy, structure, and a lot of personality into my daily routine. Through her—and the many pets I’ve cared for—I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, medications, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also had the joy of hosting pets with special needs, recently including a vivacious little pug puppy with epilepsy. Providing a calm, consistent, and loving environment is something I take pride in. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, respect, and genuine affection—just like one of my own. While away, your pet is my family and I am fiercely protective of my family. Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever who’s very much part of my everyday life. Caring for pets is something that feels natural to me—it’s woven into my daily routine, not something squeezed in as an afterthought. My Lucy Goose is a large Golden Retriever with the sweetest, most gentle “little dog energy.” She’s very social, kind, and welcoming, and does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She has happily shared her space with smaller dogs and special-needs pets, and all interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I work during the week for about 6–8 hours a day, and outside of that time my life revolves around walks, fresh air, playtime, and creating a calm, loving home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, and I’m intentional about making sure every pet in my care gets plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their quirks, honoring their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can truly relax. My home includes a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and I supervise pets closely throughout the day. I also have a few pup gates to ensure safe calm and private pet feedings or if quiet time is needed. I also use cameras for added peace of mind and awareness while I am out and about. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I follow routines carefully, respect boundaries, and keep a watchful eye on behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. I communicate openly and provide updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and cared for.

“Allee was able to step in last minute when someone else we had planned fell through. She was punctual and communicated well with us while we were gone.”

About: I have taken care of neighbors’, family’s, and friend’s dogs plenty of times before, from small to big dogs. I am very attentive to detail, so I will be able to care for your dog’s individual needs. Most recently, I have cared for a miniature schnauzer puppy, a black lab puppy, and two mid-aged mixed breed dogs. I have additional experience with doodles, king cavalier spaniels, dauschunds, pitbulls, and pugs. I am currently studying to take my physical therapy board examination so I will my schedule is flexible. I am not working at the moment, but hope to get a full-time job after taking my examination at the end of July. A part-time job may be added in the near future. I am willing to feed them, walk them, play with them, let them out to the bathroom, and clean up after them. Whatever they need, I will willingly provide for them. I can easily crate your dog if needed and spent my last semester away at college lifting a lot at the gym, so there need be no worries of the dog walking itself. I enjoy being outdoors when the weather is nice, so if that’s something your pet also enjoys, I am glad to spend time outdoors with them. If they are more the indoor, cuddly type, I am to accompany them in that as well.

“Absolutely AMAZING! Thank you again, I really do appreciate you!”

About: I have walked and taken care dogs all my life! I have my own kitten and I even can take care of reptiles/amphibians! I love all animals. I currently am waiting to start a new job in November. So currently I have a lot of free time both day and night and weekends to walk your lovely pets! I love taking care of animals and making them feel loved! I always make sure to keep an eye on my pets or check in on them. My house has a fenced in backyard, I also have a larger car so I can take them to the park and what not. I love going on walks and playing with dog!

About: Since I was born, I have had dogs and cats around me. I have delivered cats and dogs when living on a farm, and taken care of them my whole life. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, as well as reactive and rescue animals. Although I do not currently have any pets of my own, I often am the friend who pet sits because of my love for animals. I would love to eventually get my own animal, but I am not currently in the financial situation to provide the life for an animal that it deserves, so this is a fun way for me to be around animals! I work remote, so I have very open flexibility. I am the go-to friend when going out of town and needing someone to care for your baby. I am easily able to work on the go, and can even work from your own home if needed. As well, I am a graduate student, but I only have classes in the evening. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to visit your pet in their own home, and take them out regularly for walks and bathroom breaks. In my own home, I do not currently have any pets, but I have a pet friendly home and a large fenced in back yard. I am comfortable being in a client's home and taking their dogs around their neighborhoods. Because of my housing situation, I offer boarding services. I have lots of space for big dogs, and my backyard creates a safe space for reactive dogs to get some energy out without other people or dogs around.

“Tessa is absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our cat and treated him like her own pet. Our cat is skittish around new people and she was very patient with him. She is an excellent communicator, letting us know when she would check on our cat and updating us on how he was doing. Tessa is reliable, capable, and it is very clear she has a heart for animals, which we greatly appreciated. This was our first time using Rover, and we are pleased with the service she provided. You will be so lucky to have her watching your animal family members! Thank you again, Tessa!”

About: While technically I have zero years of “pet care experience”, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I can remember. My family has owned dogs such as Alaskan Malamute's, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers and Labradors. Whenever a friend or family member has needed someone to take care of their pet while they’re away, I am one of their first calls. I have loved animals my whole life and this is a good way to help those that need it. I do work a full time job, however there’s a lot of downtime during my working 9-5 hours which gives me the freedom/flexibility to do this. I will be able to care for your pets however I need to based off the clients requests. As long as there is enough communication between the client and myself I will accommodate.

About: I was given the amazing opportunity to enroll into Parkway West CTC through their Veterinary Assistant Technology program for the 4 years of my highschool career! I have been so blessed to have been able to certify in everything possibly given to me! I am certified in pet cpr, pet first aid, NAVTA, OSHA, Purina, and so much more! I also involved myself in our doggy daycare the school was running, i witnessed first hand aggression, warning signs, causal play, anxiety and lots more from all of the dogs we encountered! I’ve truly seen it all. I also worked in the small animal room, involving furry pets such as rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets and bunnies! I know the proper techniques of holding and restraining them if need be, only if i truly had to!! I am currently working part time, so i have so much time to play and check in on your furry bundles of joy! During the week im available in the mornings and the weekends im completely free! I have a fenced in yard, 5 super friendly dogs if your dog is up for the play day!! I have a cage if he/she isn’t super friendly on new pups and am super willing to put my puppers away so your dog isn’t trapped in a cage all day!

About: As a lifetime lover of all friends furry and fluffy, I’m passionate about giving cats and dogs all the joy and love they can possibly get! I have a 2 year old “free range” holland lop bunny who loves to keep me on my toes! I have many years experience with a variety of pets, particularly rabbits and dogs, and would be thrilled to be another human playing a role in helping to take care of yours! I do work full time, however I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule that allows for some daytime walks and well deserved treats for your furry loved ones! Whatever your pets’ routines—from feeding and refreshing water, to scooping litter boxes or going for walks, as well as all the playtime and cuddles in between—I am here to ensure they are well cared for and feeling the love. Your pets are your family and caring for them is just as important to me as caring for my own!

Experienced following detailed instructions, maintaining schedules, and recognizing behavioral cues in our furry friends.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.

About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and over the years I've had the chance to care for both dogs and cats for family. I've watched my girlfriend's family's three senior cats (now 15, 14, and 21 years old) several times while they've been out of town, making sure they're fed, have fresh water, and keeping their litter boxes clean. Caring for a 21-year-old cat has taught me how important patience and consistency are with senior pets. I've also cared for my brothers' dogs—a 5-year-old Siberian Husky and a 7-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix—sometimes for several days at a time. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs as well as older cats and always treat every pet like they're my own. I'm currently a full-time student finishing my last semester of college while working part time as a digital forensics intern. During the summer, my internship is Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and I'm available for pet care anytime after my internship each day. Once the fall semester begins, my internship is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:00 p.m. I'm also available most evenings and weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around you and your pet's needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I never force attention or affection if they are not comfortable. I believe pets should be able to approach and interact on their own terms. I make sure their needs are met through feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I always follow the owner's instructions and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Awesome job! Sent lots of pictures and a summary of each visit. Went above and beyond cleaning up after the cats. Would highly recommend and book again.”

I finished my college career and now have more time to take care of animals more seriously. i have classes mid day, but i will be available in the mornings and late afternoon into the night time. I have time in between classes as well which gives me a lot of time to provide good care. I do stay in an apartment but there is lots of space outside, and i have a car so I have access to dog areas. In others homes, I am respect of their belongings. I get in, do my job, and head on home.
