Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring and responsive animal lover
I grew up with dogs and believe in building a relationship with each animal I meet. I have experience navigating walks with strong, reactive and aggressive dogs. I am very physically active and if needed, can push your four legged friend to keep them happy and in shape! Leisurely walks are also lovely. I believe our pets need to be treated with the upmost care and respect, its a two way relationship and I really value the ways I learn and grow with each animal I meet. I do not have any pets of my own right now so I really cherish any animal time I get.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am responsive and in tune to the needs of your pet whether that be frequent time outside, variation in play or rest time and making sure they are comfortable at bedtime. I know that animals respond to energy and vice versa so I keep a calm energy around animals. It's really important to me to learn as much about your pet from you so I can be prepared to care for them.
Ratings and reviews
Ava is an incredibly attentive and caring dog owner. Through my time knowing them, they've cared for over 5 pups. They are loving and affectionate, learning to understand how the dogs like to be comforted. They are also very responsible with walking, feeding, and cleaning up after the dogs. Ava is also very comfortable with dogs of all size, knowing how to hold boundaries and be firm when necessary.
Ava is a safe, loving and attentive pet caregiver. I have seen them work with big strong and loud dogs who would typically scare people, but Ava is patient and calm. Ava is responsible and think through the little things before acting. They make sure they will not forget anything that needs to be done, whether that's planning out when they need to buy food, or the cleaning procedures and instructions around a wound. Ava has also been very gentle with my cat who is rather afraid of people and knows how to respect my cat's boundaries. I believe Ava knows how to meet any pet where they are at no matter if they are kind or scared or protective with Ava's gentle and thoughtful energy
Ava is a fantastic dog walker, and I can't say enough good things about her. She's so attentive and caring, and I have no worries when my dogs are in her care. She's great with both of my dogs, and I love working with her. I can't recommend her more highly!

Schedule
I can accommodate your scheduling needs as I work part time for a nonprofit and have flexibility in my schedule. I prefer to schedule further in advance for repeat walks, but am able to do last minute arrangements as well!
