Safety, trust & environment

I could board pets during the day if it's a small dog with no aggression. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that gets anxious around medium-large dogs that have anxiety as well and/or some aggression. I am happy to do drop ins and walks during lunch time!

Information Ava H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog as any special needs that I account for! Please also let me know if there is anything to be aware of during walks such as behaviors, aggression, anxiety, etc.

A typical day

I am happy to play with your dogs with any toys they enjoy! I am also happy to go on an energetic walk/run and give them some cuddles if they're lonely.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Ava! I am looking to provide dog walking & check in services in the West Madison area. I live at High Point Commons so that would be preferable if possible. I am committed to providing individualized care, strong attention to detail, and genuine interest and compassion for animals. I grew up in a family that took in a variety of pets to provide a safe home. I am a strong believer in your fuzzy friends being your best friends! They deserve to be treated with care and love while you're away, just as I would want for my dog. I rescued my miniature pinscher 6 years ago and she is now 15 years old! She is both an old lady and still my little baby. I love all animals and I'm so excited to meet yours! I have experience working with children and youth with diverse needs, and that level of care and patience extends naturally to animals with anxiety, behavioral challenges, or special routines. My background in caregiving and support work has taught me to be highly responsible, communicative, and reliable. I’m organized, dependable, and quick to respond — qualities that give pet owners peace of mind. I can provide photo or video updates, play with their toys, and give them lots of pets & snuggles! :) I’m active and love outdoor time — I’m happy to match your dog’s energy level.

We are planning to do multiple visits every week and needed a responsible person whom we could trust. Ava has been wonderful so far and we are looking forward to many more visits with her
