41 to 100 lbs

Availability

I work freelance currently while I finish up my master’s degree so I am available for day-of appointments, especially during the weekdays! In every case, I will not accept a booking until if I don’t think I could give the dog as much care as I would want mine back home to have.

3 repeat pet parents
100% response rate
Usually responds in under half an hour
70% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

11 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I will take care of any necessities along with any additional requests: every dog has their own routines and I trust that owners know their dogs best. I have taken care of disabled dogs before so I understand the importance of regular medication times. Respect to and safety of the dog is always tantamount, and I am always highly cognizant of dog’s body language.

Information Ava M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any needs I need to attend to, especially any medical concerns! I’m happy to provide services for all dogs save for highly reactive dogs.

A typical day

I attempt to stay away from public dog parks with anyone’s dogs for safety concerns, but I love to bring them to other parks and green spaces! I am a big proponent of playing with dogs how they want to play.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals all my life—I have had three dogs all of which I have been one of the primary caregivers of and two of which I have done the majority of training on.

Ava watched Papito over a period of 6 days, and I received daily updates. Papito requires a lot of potty breaks, yet Ava was graceful about his needs. Communication was great. I felt at ease as did my pup. Like with any sitter, it’s best to be clear about needs and instructions. You’ll have positive experience!

Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.

Ava was great with my dog right from the start. She is very responsive and a good communicator, she is always on time. I highly recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
