Your Pup's Home Away From Home!

I've been happily watching dogs for about 5 years, and my absolute favorite part of the day is hanging out with furry guests! Your pup will never be left lonely. I live with my brother and father, however I am the only one mainly home. I make sure my home is a cozy, fun paradise with plenty of belly rubs and attention. I treat every pet like family and focus 100% on keeping them safe, active, and deeply loved during their stay. Their health and safety is important to me! You can expect updates and pictures during their stay. I've also worked at an animal clinic as a book keeper and interacted with animals and their owners upon entering to ease their anxiety. I specialize in large and giant breed dogs! Because of my home setup and personal experience, I am most comfortable and equipped to handle bigger pups.

Ava took good care of our boy while we were away for a couple days. She asked if we could speak after I requested the booking so I could give her extra details for how we take care of him at home. Ava communicated daily with pictures which was extra special. We hope to hire Ava again in the future and recommend her to you too!! ♡🐾♡🐾♡

Ava is a great person to take care of your pets. Super communicative, reliable, and treats your pets like her own. I'm so happy we found her to take care of our dog!

Very good with animals . Very caring and loving. She babysits my friends dogs they never want to leave when there here. She treats them like a baby . You definitely would not have to worry about your pets being loved and cared for for. Huge heart . Happy pet .

Ava is a very kind hearted, empathetic, caring woman. For as long as I've known her she has always been an avid animal lover. She cares deeply for her pets and others. She takes very good care of her pets. And she's always very responsible as to make sure they have everything they need and are well groomed. She shows them love and affection with the attentiveness that every family pet deserves. I would trust her with the care of my pets anytime. I have great confidence in her.

Howdy. Ava is great at taking care of our dogs while we go on vacation. She is sweet and attentive to the needs of our doggie. We have trusted and had her dog sit for a few years now. I highly recommend her!

Schedule

I am boarding sitter available most days of the week (unless noted otherwise and things come up, see my calender). Your pup will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day. My only routine exception is Saturday mornings, when I step out for a quick 2.5 hour window meaning your pet is never left alone for long that day and receives near-round-the-clock attention

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will enjoy a pet-free, stress-free environment where they are the sole focus of my attention! My home is fully pet-proofed, safe, and packed with cozy spots for maximum relaxation. While my yard is unfenced, I prioritize safety above all else, meaning all outdoor potty breaks and fresh-air stretches are strictly and securely leashed and or supervised at all times.

A typical day

A typical day here is the perfect balance of fresh-air adventure and cozy downtime! We’ll head out for scenic walks along the beautiful walking path and pond right by my house perfect for sniffing, exploring, and getting great exercise. Back inside, the focus shifts entirely to mental stimulation, fun indoor play, and plenty of dedicated cuddle time so your pup feels thoroughly pampered.

To give your pup the ultimate 5-star personalized stay, I'd love to know a bit about them beforehand! Please share their daily routine, unique personality traits, favorite toys, and any specific medical or dietary needs. Whether they need extra reassurance, have a specific potty schedule, or just prefer a certain way of being tucked in at night, knowing these details lets me customize their care so you can travel with total peace of mind.
