About: I am a Least intrusive minimally aversive dog trainer, and AKC evaluator. I foster with multiple rescues. I have experience working with all types of dogs. I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and don’t forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word “Rover” to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when I’m busy I’m also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but they’re welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and I’m located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesn’t get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always had one by my side. Over the years, my family has owned a variety of breeds, including a Yorkie, Beagle mix, Chocolate Lab, Golden Retriever, and Miniature Doodle, which has given me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. During my junior year of high school, I adopted my own Yorkie puppy, who is now 3 years old and truly my best friend. Having cared for dogs my whole life, I understand how important it is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I take pride in making sure each pet gets the attention, patience, and care they deserve. Dogs may not be able to talk, but I will always make sure their needs are understood and met. As a full-time student at LSU, I have a very flexible schedule and currently do not have another job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available Monday through Saturday for whatever times are needed, whether that includes walking, feeding, watering, playing, or simply keeping your dog company. For the summer, my schedule is completely open from the times 7am-5pm, so I am available whenever you may need reliable and loving pet care. I’m committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I will send lots of pictures of your furry friend because I believe it gives a piece of mind to doggy parents and will play with them intill they run through all their energy!
“Hans first visit with Kassidy was wonderful! She sent fun pics of Hans playing ball, rolling around and sunbathing! I’m happy that we have Kassidy to visit Hans and we all look forward to her next visit! 😍”

About: Since age 12 I’ve cared for my family dogs as the main caregiver. I learned early on what responsibility meant and how important training is to cultivate the best relationship with your furry family member. As a full-time student, I have a pretty flexible schedule during the school year and summer. I am available for drop-ins and walks at this time. I do not have any pets living with me so individual care will be provided. Additionally, I live right next to the River Walk which is a great way to beat the occasional stuffy apartment blues!
“Ava is an amazing dog-sitter and walker… she cared for my dogs like they were her own. She is punctual and made sure my dogs were given care, attention, exercise and entertainment while I was away.”


“Amy did an awesome job. We are extremely happy with how she took care of our fur babies. She never hesitated with anything we asked of her. We will definitely ask for Amy again when go on our next trip!! ??⬛”

About: I’ve worked with animals for the past three years at two pet boarding facilities. I strive to give every animal the love and care they deserve while they cannot be with their owners and owners peace of mind while they are away. My love for animals goes back to my first pets when I was little and continues to this day with my three Maine Coons and English Lab! I currently have one English Lab who is four years old and three Maine Coons at home that I regularly help to take care of. I also work at a doggy daycare when I'm home from school. On Mondays and Wednesdays I am only available before 12pm. I care for pets with love and patience to make sure they are as comfortable as possible at all times. In addition I will do whatever an owner specifically requests for their pets.
“Emma did a great job watching Penny! She was flexible around our schedule, and I could tell Penny felt right at home with her. She also gave great realtime updates and pics! I would recommend Emma to anyone looking for a new Rover friend!!”

About: I have experience with cats, reptiles, and dogs. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs and their care, as well as skittish dogs, and normal pups. As I am a small person, I cannot walk untrained giant breed dogs unfortunately, but I can more than happily dog sit and do drop in care! I love animals of all types and find great joy in caring for animals. I've worked with senior dogs, new born puppies, older puppies, rescue dogs, neglected dogs, and longtime family pups. I have experience with all sorts of cats, from skittish to cuddle bugs. I have some experience with training and find joy in helping dogs reach their best potential and learn new tricks. I've been caring for animals since I was at least 13 years old and intend to long into my future.
