Pet care experience

Quality pet care tailored to you

I have extensive experience in pet care across a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and aquatic species. My background includes hands-on medical care, routine and specialized grooming, and dog training. I’m confident in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and supporting both everyday needs and more advanced care routines. My experience with such a diverse group of animals has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and well-being.

Ava took really good care of Gracie. Gracie has a little anxiety but once she warms up she’s as lovey dovey as can be. Thanks for watching her!

I felt very comfortable and confident leaving my dog, Copper, with Ava. She did a great job working with him and kept me updated on his status. She even provided some insight and helped progress his training as a bonus!

Ava is great! You can tell she really love animals and has a soft heart for them. My girl is old and has some separation anxiety but Ava gave her the extra attention and her own dog Khali made her feel more at home. Ava gave regular updates and is a great communicator. I would use her again and recommend her.
