Leave your cats & dogs in safe paws

Pet care experience

I've lived with and cared for cats and dogs my entire life! I'm the first one my neighbors and friends call when they need a sitter. I've taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from puppies to seniors and feisty maltipoos to mellow Goldendoodles. Living with a reactive dog also gives me experience handling more temperamental, human-reactive animals.

Ava was great! We were nervous because we have never left our cat alone before. Our miso and mochi were comfortable as soon as they met. We would definitely use Ava again. A++ service

Ava was a great sitter, taking care of my cat for the whole week while I was away visiting family. A very friendly attitude, good update pictures, and just generally a good experience. The next time I’m out of town I will definitely be trying to book her again.

Safety, trust & environment

While I will be unable to board your pets in my own home, I am more than happy to house-sit under your rules. My philosophy is that safety comes first, so learning your pet's boundaries and how they like to be handled is most important to me! I want both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable under my care. I have worked with gentle leaders, muzzles, and harnesses, so extra equipment is not a problem!

Information Ava M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has trouble around other humans, dogs, or cats so that I know how to accommodate them on our walks, and if there are any behaviors I should avoid doing. Also, please let me know how your dog prefers to be stimulated (games, training, walks, etc.), or if they have any favorite toys!

A typical day

I like to take dogs on long walks and go exploring in nearby parks, such as Elizabeth Park in West Hartford. At home, I love to stimulate the mind through training and games of fetch or tug-of-war. I always like to end the day with some snuggles!
