Information Ava K. would like to know about your pet

1. How is your pup on a leash? Do they react to other dogs, squirrels, or bicycles? 2. Are they a door-bolter? Can they be trusted off-leash in an unfenced area? 3. How much food do you give your pup and how often? 4. Are they afraid of anything specific? (Thunder, fireworks, loud trucks, etc.) 5. Where do they usually sleep at night? Are they allowed on the furniture? Let me know if you have any more important details about your pup that I would need to know.

A typical day

I love keeping energetic pets active! That usually means structured walks where they can explore. If they have a favorite toy, we’ll do some indoor or outdoor fetch or a game of tug-of-war. For senior pets or those who prefer a chill vibe, I focus on calm companionship and high-quality brushing/grooming sessions to keep them relaxed and happy. I also love sending photo updates of our activities so you can see exactly how much fun they're having.

Ava did a great job taking care of our dog while we were gone. Her whole family gave our dog lots of love. I would use Ava again.

We couldn’t have asked for better care for our Piper! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. We received regular updates and photos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We’re so grateful and will absolutely use Ava again. Highly recommend!

Ava has been such a gift to our family and our pets. From the very first visit, it was clear how genuinely she loves and understands animals. She is responsible, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
