My goal is to make your animal feel as safe and comfortable as possible. This means respecting their needs and boundaries, as well as your space.

Information Ava F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or if there are specific behaviors I should be aware of. I want to facilitate a good and safe experience for everyone!

A typical day

I want to give your pet a positive, fun experience while they’re away from their owner. This includes exploring all the neighborhood smells, playing with toys, and plenty of butt scratches. If your pet prefers a more chill day that’s great too! I love relaxing just as much as being active.

Incoming Veterinary Student!

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life. As a pre-vet student I got hundreds of hours working with pets in veterinary clinics. There I learned how to properly handle animals, including how to administer oral medication. From years of experience I know how to read a pets body language and react accordingly. I love working with animals of all ages and can’t wait to meet your pet!

Did an amazing job watching my two cats. Didn't feel like I had to worry during my trip. Definitely would book again!

Booked for my daughter so we could make a quick overnight trip. Hit it off with her and Sasuke immediately. Sasuke got comfortable with Ava fast as she took the time to meet beforehand. Ava was very accommodating with my daughters last minute changes as well. Highly recommend. Very friendly.
