I’ll care for your pets like my own

Pet care experience

I would be happy take care of your dog! I am a recently graduated college student with a background in fine art. I have raised two large dogs in my life, two Goldendoodles, and gave them lots of exercise--runs, playing fetch, dog parks and beaches--and long walks every day. I have experience working with many types of dog breeds and sizes over the years through friends and family, and have been dog walking professionally for several years since college. I am willing to care for your dog (or cat) on short notice! Please let me know of your pet's special needs and I will do my best to accommodate and make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. If your dog is more active or social, I live near many parks and walkable areas in Long Beach, including the quiet Alamitos Heights neighborhood, the super spacious Marina Vista Park, Marine Stadium, Recreation Dog Park, Belmont Shore, and Rosie’s Dog Beach. But I also love chilling at home so I welcome dogs that prefer to cuddle and lay low :) I really look forward to working with you and caring for your pet!

Ava was great. She is sweet, pleasant, prompt and very responsible. Rocket was happy to see us when we returned but was also very content - evidence that he had received enough love an attention while we were gone. We will definitely try to have Ava watch him again.

Ava is the best! She is gentle and patient with each of the dogs she cares for. She is extremely responsible with cleaning up after them and managing her time well. My dogs haven't had any accidents in the house since we hired her for her services.

When we were out of town during the summer Ava did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, feeding her twice a day, along with walking her every day--often twice a day on very long walks. She even helped to get our 1 1/2 year old pup socialized and acclimated to walking on a popular shopping street with lots of pedestrians and other dogs. I highly recommend her for her responsibility and love dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a home with a courtyard, pool, and a small grassy backyard. There’s enough space to chill at home but the neighborhood is a nice quiet place to walk dogs. I can be a homebody but I love exploring too, so I can easily adapt to your dog’s energy levels.

Information Ava K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how your dog behaves on walks normally and how they are around other dogs. What commands they know would also be helpful

A typical day

Walking your dog around and through parks in the Alamitos Heights, Belmont Shore/Belmont Park, Belmont Heights, and Naples areas. I would also love to play fetch with your dog if that is something they like!

My schedule varies day to day. I work part time as a freelance artist so it depends on my workload for commissions. I try to keep my calendar updated as much as possible.
