I am currently a college student, I have plenty of time throughout my day before, in between, and after classes to care for your pup! I am currently on summer break and I have a good amount of free time and my schedule is pretty flexible! I am able to make time for your pup and prioritize their walks and activities throughout my day!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, my pets are treated like family. I ensure they have a safe, comfortable environment filled with love and attention. Each day begins with morning playtime and a nutritious meal tailored to their needs. I prioritize regular exercise through walks and play sessions, keeping their energy levels balanced. I focus on mental stimulation with interactive toys and training exercises, reinforcing positive behavior. Cleanliness is also essential; I maintain a tidy space for them and provide regular grooming. Above all, I foster a nurturing atmosphere, filled with cuddles and affection, ensuring my pets feel secure and happy.

Information Ava M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specific medications that they need, any allergies, or any behavioral issues I should be aware of before I interact with them!

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically, I will do interactive play with them such as fetch, practice any tricks they may know, and take them on walks. If a pet just wants to be pet and cuddled I do that as well!

Pet care experience

As a lifelong dog owner and dog caregiver, I've developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My experience ranges from caring for playful puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. I prioritize each dog's well-being, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, socialization, and affection. Whether it's daily walks, playtime at the park, or administering medications, I approach every task with patience and love. My commitment is to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every furry friend I care for.

From the initial exchange through the weekend taking care of our dog, Ava has been a delight to work with. Completely responsive, responsible, and professional. 5 stars is not enough!

Ava was very personable when we first met her, so we decided to book her. She was very responsive and maintained communication with us when we were away. When we got home, the home was neat and clean. We'd definitely use Ava again

Ava was a lifesaver to step in at the last minute, and did a great job with the pets. Thanks again for everything!
