Happy dogs, happy life!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Ava. I’m a PhD student and an animal enthusiast. My life goal is to one day have an animal sanctuary but for now I’m just excited to play and care for your dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and play with their dogs for years. I also have 2 dogs myself, a malshih and a min-pin who are both 4 and very energetic. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of every kind, though I certainly have more experience taking care of small and medium sized dogs. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority and beyond that I want them to feel as happy and comfortable as possible in your absence. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet(child) with someone else and I will do my best to make you feel at ease that your pet is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow your instructions when it comes to environmental safety. I can easily crate your dogs or make sure the home environment is safe for them depending on behaviors, sensitivities, allergies, etc. I welcome and appreciate detailed instructions for when I visit your homes or when I take dogs on walks so I can ensure your pet’s safety.
Information Ava A. would like to know about your pet
- let me know if your dogs has any special needs (medical, physical, etc.) -your dog’s comfort level around other dogs -walking behaviors (do they pull, bark at other dogs or humans) -any aggressive behaviors -let me know if your pet is potty trained -soothing techniques or coping behaviors when your pet is over-stimulated (treats, special toys, specific commands, etc.) - limitations (think of the behaviors that you’re trying to prevent in your dogs such as jumping at people and make sure to let me know so I don’t encourage those behaviors)
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs in whatever way I can. Playful dogs are the best and I can match their energy pretty well. I have patience for dogs who have minimal training in guided play and can throw toys, pull, jump, and run with dogs all day.
Services
Ava can watch in your home
Availability
I’m in the middle of my summer break and am working minimally over the summer. I have plenty of time to play with energetic dogs. My schedule is very flexible so, aside from weekends, I can work around your schedule for the most part.
