About: Love doggos and cats so much! No longer have any of my own, but would love to help take care of yours! Huge fan of long walks and cuddles. Happy to help wear out your pups! I work full time during the week but am available typically by 4 for any evening needs. When here on the weekends I’m available anytime! Can easily accommodate a dog in my home, there is a small dog park and plenty of walkable areas around! Space to crate if needed.
“As a repeat customer of Averi's, I always know that my dog will be well taken care of. She is reliable, good at keeping me updated, and genuinely cares about my dog. Your pet will be in good hands with Averi. I will definitely continue to have her be my Rover go-to choice!”
“Jeremy is just so great with my animal. He is always responsive and communicates his time and schedule clearly so there are no surprises while I'm gone. He has even made himself available on short notice (which I hate to do but it sometimes happens) and I knew everything would go perfectly with him and my fur baby.”
About: With 20 years of dog experience, your dog will have all the love and attention they need. From Rottweilers, Staffordshires, Corgis, and everything in between, I’ll make sure they have the perfect care. And all the treats if that’s okay with you. I have a flexible work schedule and will make sure to check on your dog as much as necessary. The needs of your pet are the most important. We have a very friendly female couch potato who loves a companion. She plays very well with others and spents lots of time in our fenced in yard sunbathing.
“Nicole took great care of our older dog! She's very responsive and confirmed at each visit meds were done. We absolutely would recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
“Alita and Timothy are awesome! My dog Harley loves them and they made me feel super comfortable at the first drop off. Would always recommend as they are Harley’s new BFF’s 😊”
“Christine is incredible!!! My doggo is a little skittish about meeting new people, and Christine took the time to get to know her and bond with her :) she’s super accommodating and flexible and I look forward to having her doggie sit mollie again soon!!!”
“Rayawna was great. She check in our cat, Christian, while we were on vacation for 3 weeks. We felt at ease knowing he was taken care of. She is very responsive and sent photos of Christian while we were away. Will definitely book again”
