Pet care experience

Professional Cuddler and Playmate

I’m the kind of person who treats every pet like they’re literally my own child! I have two cats at home that I absolutely pamper, so I totally get that your pets are family. For the last five years, I’ve been caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I also volunteered at a shelter last summer. I’m big on actual playtime—whether that’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or finally winning over a shy cat with a feather wand. I’m also totally comfortable with the important stuff, like feeding schedules and giving meds. Whether your fur-baby is a high-energy kitten or a sweet senior dog, I’ll give them all the love and attention they need while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m totally happy to follow whatever routine your pets love best in the comfort of their own home! Whether it’s feeding, going for long walks in the neighborhood, playing in the yard, or keeping up with their meds, I’ve got it covered. I want you to feel 100% safe and relaxed knowing I’m there to care for your fur-babies exactly how you like.

Ava was great! Came every day around the requested time, took photos and left notes on her visit. Highly recommend!

Ava has been a lifesaver.. i’ve used services in the past, but I’ve never seen anyone who sincerely cares and loves my pets as much as Ava does. The biggest thing I noticed was my pets temperament after Ava consistently spent time with them. I have referred her to several people and they all love her.

If there was ever a pet-lover, it would be Ava. She is absolutely drawn to them! Especially dogs and cats. But all animals , really. When she comes to our home , she is totally drawn to our Husky dog, MIA. And MIA is totally drawn to Ava. They are just content basking in the happiness each of them has to give. I'm pretty sure that animals can sense how we feel about them, and Ava has no shortage of caring emulating from her. I totally trust my dog with her in a heart beat!

Ava has taken care of our three cats numerous times over the years and she is phenomenal! You can tell that playing and snuggling with cats is her happy place. She just adores them all. If you want your pet to feel pampered and loved while you are not there, Ava is the one to do it. I highly recommend her.
