Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate, Experienced Pet Care
Professional, reliable, and compassionate, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds for 15+ years - from dogs and cats to exotic animals and reptiles. I bring professional animal care experience from wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary assisting, and field research, making me comfortable handling pets with special needs or medical requirements. As a former rescue pet foster, I provide gentle, reliable care for every personality, whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or a timid cat. I’m experienced in daily walking & care, feeding, administering medications, and maintaining safe, enriching environments. Your pet’s health, happiness, and safety are my top priorities!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ava took wonderful care of Jack again. Very friendly, communicative, and accommodating to our pick-up and drop-off schedule. Thanks, again!
Ava took amazing care of Jack while I was out of town! She was very friendly, communicative, and made sure Jack got plenty of activity. Thanks!
Ava was excellent! Our dog, Riley, liked her immediately and had a great day stay while we hosted a party. I will call on Ava again in the future!
She was very communicative and gave my dog lots of love and patience!
Ava was amazing with my dog Tony. He's energetic, and she took him for a super long walk around a lake, gave him cuddles, took him to visit with other dogs she knows...he had a great day and came home tired. She is trustworthy and capable. Highly recommend!
Ava B. has consistently proven herself to me to be a good caretaker of animals. Beyond the fact that she has work experience in animal care, her time as a foster and pet owner have shown me just how much love and care you can give to an animal. She treats them with the same kindness and respect as she does humans. Meaning her top priority is their comfort and safety. Whether it’s been 4 legged or has gills, Ava has shown that her love for animals is unwavering. There is not a doubt in my mind that she would be a perfect fit for Rover.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work part-time from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate daily walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time to give your pets attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Living near Lake Johnson means your dog will enjoy regular walks in a safe, scenic environment, rain or shine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety and comfort in every environment. At your home or mine, pets are closely supervised, fed on schedule, and given plenty of attention and exercise. I live in a secure, dog friendly community with access to a private neighborhood dog park (usually empty - great for safe exercise, not socializing), so your pup will always be on leash or in a fenced double-gate system when outside. I pride myself on maintaining clean, secure spaces and making sure pets have enrichment, cozy resting spots, and safe play areas. I’m experienced in handling pets with medical needs, administering medications, and managing multiple pets at once. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are always my top priorities!
Pets
A typical day
My goal is to make each pet feel safe, loved, and engaged! With dogs, I focus on a mix of exercise and enrichment. A typical day would include walks by the lake, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles. Cats get lots of play and window watching time. I always make sure to match their energy level, so whether your pet is active or a snuggler, they’ll get exactly what makes them happiest.

- Please let me know about your pet’s routine, medical needs, and any special preferences or fears (like thunder or loud noises). I also like to know their favorite toys, treats, and walking routes so I can remain consistent and fun! The more details I have, the more I can make them feel at home.
