About: Hi! 👋🏼 my name is Stephanie a mom of three boys and we are an animal loving family!! I have had more than 20 years experience with animals in all breeds ! We love them all! My family and I love to take care of your fur baby as one of our own! I do send lots of pictures with updates what going on as well as any activity we go do! I currently am a stay home mom that loves to get out and walk! I love taking dogs out for walks as it such a good exercise for them as well for me! I am pretty flexible throughout the week!! I do have a fenced in back yard for them to run around in! I have plenty of clean dog beds throughout the house as well! I also have 3 children 6 and up that would love doggie snuggles!
About: I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up & I now have a dog of my own, Bear, who is a border collie/ golden retriever mix! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush my dog, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well! I am home most of the day, occasionally I will leave for a couple hours to run errands or hang out with friends. My weekends are usually always open. I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!
About: I have always had many animals growing up, from German shepherds to geckos, there is no animal that I don’t absolutely adore, I have three cats and many reptiles of my own:) I am no longer pregnant! But I do have a little one now, so I will take in small to medium dogs and cats or one large dog, two small dogs are okay! But if your dog is super chaotic and hyper i recommend a different sitter for your pup :)! I promise to make your pet a top priority in my home, nothing toxic or dangerous will be out to harm your pet in any way, my house is completely pet friendly! Plus I do have a little one so childproofing my house has helped with the puppies too 🤣❤️🔥

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.

Amanda R.
“Avery helped me come to the conclusion that I COULD get a dog. I have a crazy schedule at work and she was one of a handful of people who gladly and immediately volunteered to take care of my new puppy when I was away at work for long hours. When I was gone, she would give me updates on how long she was taking care of my puppy, photos, and what they did together. She's been pet sitting for quite some time in the area, she knows what she's doing, and she's pretty amazing at it! I would recommend her to anyone!”
