My home consists of dogs and cats, meaning I get the best of both worlds. I enjoy a high energy dog I can play and walk with but I also love senior dogs that would rather rest. Cats are the same way, both so much fun to spend time with.

Information Ava B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is trained/untrained, high/low energy, or provides special care. I would also like to know their personality and what to expect. These are just basic things I would prefer to know before I accept the booking. Thank you!

A typical day

I personally like to play fetch and walk dogs, or making them enrichment treats to help work their minds. With cats, if they like to play, I’ll always use any toys they have.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, both of my parents working in the animal field taught me so much. Any type of work experience has been in an environment filled with animals. I’d like to highlight that I’ve worked at the Humane Society of York County which provided me with lots of knowledge on how to care for animals with different behaviors, aggression levels, and needs. I’ve worked with administering medications, teaching new behaviors, and stopping old behaviors. I will know exactly how to care for your pet!

Ava was amazing. We had a super last minute need for a dogsitter and she stepped up to the plate! Was very responsive and accommodating with our tight schedule, but more importantly our two dogs seemed so happy with her while we were gone! She left our house in perfect order and gave plenty of updates throughout her stay. Definitely will be working with Ava again.

Ava was very professional and punctual. My cat has medical conditions that made it vitally important to be at my house at certain times and not late. She did an amazing job and even handled the extra tasks that popped up. I wholeheartedly recommend and will use her in future.

Ava was a tremendous help with my special needs dog. She was super flexible when our trip was delayed and graciously agreed to stay longer. She replied to my messages immediately. Ava loves animals and devotes her life to their care and well-being. She's sweet with a heart of gold and is a responsible problem solver. I'll use her again!
