Highlights
Pet care experience
Active and Playful Animal-lover
Energetic nurse, dedicated pet parent, and lifelong animal lover here to give your furry family members the royal treatment! I have a 1.5-year-old medium size rescue, whom I’ve trained from day one. I fully understand the wild puppy phase, the endless energy, and just how much patience (and love!) it takes to raise a well-behaved dog. Thanks to my super active lifestyle, your pets will always get plenty of fun exercise, zoomies, and playtime to keep their tails wagging. I have 100+ volunteer hours at the Franklin County Dog Shelter under my belt, working with pups of every size, personality, and energy level. Plus, as a nurse, I bring an extra layer of expert care to the table—I’m completely comfortable administering oral meds to cats and dogs, as well as handling injections. Whether your pet needs an adventurous brisk walk, a precise medical routine, or just heaps of love, I’m ready to make their time away from you absolute perfection!

Safety, trust & environment
As a volunteer at the Franklin County Dog Shelter I have received training on how to handle, crate, walk, and feed dogs of all behavioral styles. I have gained over 100+ hours of volunteering at the shelter which has given me the confidence and experience to care for dogs of all type. As a nurse I am all about safety and will care for your pet in a way that makes both you and the pet feel safe and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
My dog loves Ava! Very thankful to have a reliable, professional and caring pet sitter for my dog
Ava has such great energy that my nervous dog was attracted to. She immediately wanted to be close to Ava, which is unusual for my dog! It takes her a few visits to warm up to people. I appreciated Ava’s experience with big dogs and feel safe having her walk my dog. She’s a very sweet person who genuinely enjoys hanging out with my pup!
Anytime we ask Nora, our pup, if she wants to go see Ava, she is ecstatic! Obviously, our furry friends are great judges of character as well. Ava has always been the perfect model of a sitter - trustworthy, responsible, nurturing and energetic. As much as we can't wait to see our dog after a long trip, we are always rest assured that she is in capable hands under Ava's watch.
Ava is such a compassionate dog lover. Whenever she’s around my two dogs, Duke and Molly, she makes sure to treat both with the same level of care and love. And, such a responsible and trustworthy person. I would recommend Ava’s dog walking & sitting service to anyone!
Ava is a great sitter and is highly recommended. She has watched our Siberian husky Nora many times, whether it was for a short weekend trip or a 2+ week vacation. We know that Nora has had great experience with Ava because any time we ask her if she wants to see Ava she gets very excited! Ava has always been accommodating and able to work with our schedule, which can sometimes be last minute. She is a very reliable and professional sitter. Highly recommended!
