My schedule is a bit random, but I'm flexible and will try my best to move things around (as long as you’re within a 4km radius, as I don’t have a car)! I’m a university student, volunteer, occasionally babysit, and work 1-2 days per week (8 hours at a time).

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet must have up-to-date vaccinations and identification tags. In addition, I'd appreciate a descriptive outline of the tasks expected of me, vet contact information, and emergency contact information. I absolutely understand that some pets struggle with behaviour challenges, as do most humans (haha)! For the safety of myself and others, I still need assurance that your pet is well-trained and/or that any behavioural difficulties are actively being addressed.
Information Ava P. would like to know about your pet
If they have any special needs, reactivity, specific likes and dislikes, require medication, have a medical condition(s), dietary restrictions, and an outline of their typical day.
A typical day
Mental and physical enrichment is a high priority of mine! I'm happy to spend one-on-one time brushing, petting, playing, walking, reading aloud, snuggling, and putting together treat puzzles to keep my time with your fur-babies fun, comforting, and engaging!

Experienced Animal Caregiver🩷
Pet care experience
***💕🐱Only accepting cats for house sitting at this time🐱💕*** I was an animal care attendant at the BCSPCA for 2.5 years, so I have lots of experience with dogs, cats and everything in between! Before that, I was an animal care expert at Bosley's! I've completed all required module work for both positions. During my time at the BCSPCA, I gained lots of hands-on experience administering medication (oral, topical, subcutaneous), and I've learned lots of tricks and strategies along the way! I'm also very good at reading animal body language and have experience with seniors, kittens, puppies, and special-needs animals!

Reviews
Ava was communicative, kind, a great companion and a lovely house sitter! We’re very happy.
We absolutely loved Ava! She looked after my dog for 5 hours until late into the night (2:30 AM). My dog was thrilled with her and had a great time. Thank you so much for being so responsible and caring!🫶🏻
Ava took such good care of our big, anxious one year old golden doodle Wally. He is reactive around new people but Ava handled him with ease. This was the first time we used a sitter, and Ava took the time to meet with us before we left on our trip. While we were away, Ava’s communication was great. She’d send photos and updates, and it was clear that she was going the extra mile to make our dog feel comfortable and loved. Unfortunately he had some medical issues while we were away but we felt completely confident in Ava’s management of the situation. Ava left our house spotless and was very flexible with her departure time when our return flight was delayed. We would book Ava again in a heartbeat; and would highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone conscientious, responsible and caring to look after your fur baby!
