Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine to ensure they feel relaxed and secure. At my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with a safe, enclosed space where pets can roam and play. I ensure all pets have access to fresh water, food, and regular bathroom breaks. For cats, I make sure their litter boxes are clean and accessible, while dogs receive regular exercise and attention, including walks or playtime. I also offer special care for pets with medical needs, such as administering medications as required. In a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I make sure to respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure, and I send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. Whether in my home or theirs, I’m committed to creating a loving, safe, and stress-free experience for the pets I care for.

Information Ava A. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the best care for your pet while you're away, it's important for me to learn as much as possible about their individual needs and habits. Please share details about their daily routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, and exercise preferences, as some pets thrive on a consistent schedule. Additionally, knowing your pet's behavior and temperament helps me understand how they may react to new situations, such as meeting new people or animals. If your pet has any medical conditions, allergies, or requires medication, please provide clear instructions for proper care. It’s also helpful to know if there are any dietary preferences or restrictions. Having emergency contact information, including your pet's veterinarian, is essential in case of unexpected situations. I also like to learn about your pet's social preferences—whether they enjoy being around other pets or people, or if they prefer more solitude. Finally, if your pet needs to travel or is being transported, understanding their comfort level with car rides or new environments ensures they are as relaxed as possible. The more I know about your pet’s needs, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for them.

A typical day

I make sure to provide a variety of fun and enriching activities based on the pet’s personality and preferences. For dogs, I offer interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, and running in the yard to keep them active and engaged. I also enjoy taking them on walks to explore new areas or visit local parks, giving them both exercise and mental stimulation. If the dog enjoys water activities, I can incorporate playtime near safe bodies of water. For cats, I focus on interactive play with toys like feather wands, laser pointers, and puzzle feeders to encourage their natural hunting instincts. I also offer cozy spaces for them to relax, and some cats enjoy climbing or exploring, so I ensure there's safe space for them to indulge in those behaviors. I make sure to also provide quiet time for cats that prefer a more relaxed environment, offering soft petting sessions and creating a calm atmosphere. I also enjoy providing extra activities for pets with special needs, such as gentle massage for older pets or training games for those that enjoy a mental challenge.
