Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable +Active Dog Walker
Apart from owning and taken care of (and training) my own dogs for over 15 years, I am also a go to dog walker/sitter for many of my friends and family. I have taken care of dogs with various sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I love to hike and go on runs with my dogs, so I know how to make a fun, tiring activity while still maintaining safety and care.

Ratings and reviews
Ava has taken wonderful care of our dog Kirby while walking her everyday. Ava even spent some extra time with Kirby until she felt more comfortable. Overall Ava has been very professional and communicative. We are glad we found someone to take such good care of our dog!

Ava is absolutely fantastic and very easy to communicate with! She responds quickly and loves animals. My dog absolutely LOVES her and always comes back from the walk smiling. I would recommend Ava every day of the week.
Ava is a responsible, intuitive and compassionate dog walker/ caregiver. She pays close attention to my dog’s needs and tailors her activities to her accordingly. I highly recommend Ava for dog walks and dog sitting

Schedule
I currently work part-time from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to always have eyes on your pup. I am usually available for last minute requests on weekdays and weekends.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My apartment has various grassy areas for dogs to run around and sniff in! While I can take the dogs on hikes, I always keep them on leash and on the built path. I also try my best to avoid other dogs unless stated clearly that their interactions are okay
A typical day
I love to explore with your dogs to allow them to get their energy out while also allowing time for them to explore and get their sniffs in. Based on your level of comfort (and their energy), I'm happy to take them on hikes around san diego trails or just keep it in your neighborhood. I am also very patient with older dogs and ready to work with them to go at a comfortable pace.
