Animal Care🐾

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my special touch with pups of all ages! I have two golden retrievers, one who is almost 2 years old and the other who is about 8 months old. I love both energetic & mellow dogs and I have an affinity for providing gentle care to senior dogs. My goal is to create a fun, safe space where each dog feels at home and has personalized attention!

Ava is wonderful! She took such great care of my two pups and I am so excited for her to take care of them again. She is highly trustworthy and reliable! My dogs absolutely love her and can't wait to see her again :)

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on the specific service I'm providing, I use different method to ensure all pets are safe and comfortable. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions and routines carefully ensuring their routine is as similar as possible to their typical routine when their owner is home. I make sure to maintain their regular feeding schedule, take them for walks, and provide any medication or special care they may need. I also keep their living space clean, so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I want to create a loving, comforting environment for each pup! When I take pets for walks, safety is my top priority! I always make sure to use a sturdy leash and collar/harness to make sure they are safe at all times. I always stay aware of our surroundings, watching out for busy roads or unfamiliar animals. If the pet tends to get frightened easily, I take extra precautions to avoid stressful situations and keep them calm & comfortable. I always aim choose safe routes, like near parks and neighborhoods, where there's minimal traffic. My ultimate goal is to prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets in my care, ensuring that every walk is an enjoyable and secure experience for them!🐾

Information Ava H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs that I should know about before taking care of them or anything else you think I should know to ensure that they are happy and comfortable while you’re away!

A typical day

When it comes to fun activities with the pets I watch, the possibilities are endless. Some ideas of fun activities are playing fetch/tug-of-war/chasing their favorite toy, taking them on walks in beautiful parks/nature trails, playing puzzle games to challenge their minds, cuddling with them & making sure to give them plenty of love, and working on basic training commands to reinforce good behavior. My goal is to provide a mix of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love and attention!
