Pet care experience

Pawsitively Passionate Sitter

With a wealth of pet care experience and a passion for furry companions, I stand out as a reliable and dedicated pet sitter. What sets me apart is my expertise in training puppies and providing specialized care for senior dogs. Growing up with big German Shepherds since the age of 12, I have acquired extensive knowledge of their training, grooming, and overall well-being. Your pets will benefit from my years of hands-on experience, ensuring they receive the utmost care, attention, and love they deserve.

I wouldn't want anyone else to watch my boy! Ava is a great choice. Happy to have found her.

We used Ava for a night so we could go to Cleveland. She was amazing to our pup (and cat), provided pic and left the house exactly the way we left it. It’s so nice to leave and not worry about anything. Thank you, Ava!! :)

Absolutely phenomenal! She was very communicative, sent us pictures while we were away, and handled our German Shepherd with ease—even with her separation anxiety. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. We came home to a spotless house and a happy pup—couldn’t recommend her more!

Ava was amazing and will be my first call anytime I have a need! She kept in touch, shared photos and most importantly, my home and dog were well taken care of.

Ava was great watching our three dogs while we were out of town for a few days. She is conscientious, has great communication and genuinely loves dogs! We will be booking her again for a longer trip in a couple months.
