I’m currently staying the whole summer here in San Diego so I’m looking to connect with more fun friends as I am away from home. I’m on the women’s soccer team at UCSD and with earlier trainings, I have so much time to play and care for your animals.

About Ava M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a cat of my own who has an understanding personality for other animals when it comes to warming up to each other. I have a backyard with a fence enclosing it giving your animals a fresh outdoor moment. There is a nice dog park less than five minutes away from my house which the dogs will enjoy so much.

Information Ava M. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care possible, I always appreciate knowing a few key things ahead of time—any medical conditions, allergies, or special needs they may have, including medications or mobility issues. I also like to know about their daily routines, energy levels, favorite activities, and any quirks or behaviors (like leash reactivity, anxiety triggers, or if they’re not great with other animals). Feeding instructions, potty schedules, and crate or bedtime routines are super helpful too. The more I know, the more I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
A typical day
Each day is tailored to your pet’s needs and personality. For energetic pups, I love taking them on walks through the neighborhood, exploring local parks, or even heading to the beach for some playtime in the sand (if allowed). If your dog prefers to stay closer to home, we’ll enjoy fetch, tug-of-war, or just relaxing in the yard together. For more mellow or older pets, I keep things calm and comforting with short strolls, gentle pets, and plenty of companionship. Cats get plenty of attention too—whether it’s interactive play with their favorite toys, brushing, or cozy window watching. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you're away.

Pet care experience
Living on the countryside, animals have always been around the house. I grew up with three boxers and two chihuahuas so I am experienced with many breeds and sizes. I’ve seen all the stages dogs go through from pups to old pups so I hope to help the best I can with my experience in raising dogs.

Reviews
Ava took excellent care of our four month old puppy, Mini, while we were out of town for the weekend; we couldn’t be more grateful. Even before booking, Ava was flexible and worked with us to accommodate Mini’s stay, which gave us great confidence moving forward. On the second day of her stay, Mini was unexpectedly stung by a bee. Ava acted quickly; she iced the affected area and immediately notified us. Thanks to her calm and thoughtful response, we were able to consult with a VetCo technician, and Ava didn’t miss a beat. She followed through by administering Benadryl according to Mini’s age and weight, showing true responsibility and care. Throughout the stay, Ava kept us updated with texts, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind. We truly appreciate her attentiveness and quick thinking during the unexpected bee sting situation. 5-🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and a huge thank you from Mini and us...🧔🏻♂️👩🏻🦱👨🏻🦱👧🏻🐶!
Ava took great care of Aspen, making sure she got exercise and stimulation. Already booking her next boarding with Ava!
Prompt and patient with our pups
Ava couldn’t have been sweeter! Absolute angel was able to pick him up and was great at communicating. So happy I found her and she’s so close to me. I’ll definitely be using her again :)
