Pet care experience

Need reliable, trustworthy care?

Hi! My name is Ava. I am a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for animals since I was 13 years old. I have previous experience in working at a dog boarding/daycare facility, so i’m comfortable with animals of all ages, size, personality, demeanor, and energy levels— Yes, that includes your shy, grumpy pup or your high-energy goofball! My experience includes monitoring behavior, administering medications, exercise, enrichment activities, basic grooming and bathing services, and ensuring a safe, positive environment for your loved one. I am very passionate about animals and am currently working towards a career in dog training and rehabilitation. Each animal I meet is an opportunity to learn and grow. I foster an honest, thorough, detailed communication style. As a pet owner, you deserve to know what’s going on with your pet while you’re away. I love to leave little report cards and send you silly pictures to let you know what’s they’ve been up to! Whether your pet needs a winter walk, some playtime, a little extra patience, to just be checked in on, or a cozy buddy to hangout with— I’ve got you covered. I look forward to meeting your sweet furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment

Bringing a random stranger into your home can be anxiety producing, as I have had to do the same thing with my dog. I want to give you as much information about me as possible to mitigate some of that anxiety! I am an open book, and will make sure to continue my communication with you about your pet while you’re gone. As in terms of your pets safety, this is my number one priority—and i’m assuming you’ve heard that from everyone. But with my experience with being a PCA, keeping a yard full of 20+ dogs safe is not something you can negotiate. Animal behavior and body language has always been fascinating to me- which means I am constantly monitoring how your dog is feeling based on how they are presenting to me. I work with your dog to meet their energy and activity needs, as this is also important to their/my safety. If your dog is more active, I love to take them out for walks or take them to a secluded park to get some of that out! ;) In terms of home safety, I request that you just give me detailed information on how to lock things up (doors, rooms, garage, fences, cabinets) so I make sure to keep your animal where they should be, and have access to things they are allowed to. If you ever have any questions about anything, PLEASE ask. There are never too many questions when it comes to making sure your loved one will be safe and properly taken care of.

Ava has personal and professional experience caring for animals. She interacts with animals naturally and they appear to respond very positively to her. She is caring, thoughtful and responsible. I would highly recommend Ava for your pet care needs.

- For any boarding or daycare stay, I do have a dog at home. Please let me know whether or not it is okay for him to interact with your animal. He is very friendly and would often come to work with me at my previous dog boarding job. - If your pet has any medications, please make sure there are ample instructions for administration time and methods. - I want to know everything about your pet! This includes all of their quirks, routines, specific behaviors, and demeanor. No dog is off limits for me, but I do need as much information about them as possible to make sure I care for them to fit their needs.
