Information Ava K. would like to know about your pet

I am open to all kinds of pets, but would ask that if your dog is highly energetic to let me know beforehand so that I know how much exercise he/she needs ahead of time!

A typical day

I love to start my days off with a walk or run, so I would definitely bring the dogs along for that if they enjoy exercise. Depending on your pets needs and energy level, I am able to accommodate!

Pet care experience

I’ve had my dog for 11 years now and it has been my responsibility to train him, give him food and water, take him on walks, etc. My roommate in college adopted a foster dog and we all cared for her like she was our own! My time on Rover has given me the opportunity to meet and care for a variety of dogs as well.

Ava did such a great job caring for my home and 2 golden retrievers during a 10 day trip. She is very responsible and kept up with my dogs active schedule.

This was our first time with Ava sitting with our dog Toby. We had a brief meet n greet which went well, but this was the first actual 'alone time' with our boy. He has separation anxiety and he is a very chill dog otherwise, but just hates to be left alone (he's a rescue). Ava did a very good job in my opinion. She arrived on time, she was prompt to send an update and picture to us of Toby relaxing on his chair while we were out. We got home sooner than expected and everything went fine. We would definitely recommend using Ava, and will be contacting her again for our next needed event.
