Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, my dog was free reign. My bed was his bed! However, if the rules are different in your own home, I am happy to stick to them :) I am familiar with crate training, administering oral medications, feeding schedules, etc. I am flexible and will do whatever I can to best accommodate you and your furry friend. Expect lots of pictures!!

Information Ava P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pup needs any special accommodations (keeping distance from other dogs/animals, routine oriented, etc.) I have lots of experience with quirky dogs and don’t mind learning what suits your pup best. I am open to doing whatever would make you and your fur baby feel most comfortable :)

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. I can teach your dogs some new tricks or take them for a run around the neighborhood (of course with some stops to take in all of the new smells!) I am up to play some fetch or just give some cuddles, whatever your doggy tells me he or she needs!

Who let the dogs out? I did.

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with 6 doggies and volunteered at a greyhound rescue throughout my childhood. I had a dog of my own named Bo, who recently passed. He was a pit mutt and the sweetest and silliest boy in the entire world. From fostering puppies to elderly dogs, I have participated in it all. I have helped friends and family with their own furry friends and even have experience training dogs! I have a very active lifestyle so I am well prepared to care for a hyper pup! After losing my soul dog I am just not ready to get another fur baby, but I really do miss spending quality time with our four legged friends. I would be so very honored to spoil your pup with walkies and love as if it was my own.

Great experience! Ava took great care of our dog, was extremely communicative and reliable, and we would book with her again.

Ava has an extensive background in working with pets. She is responsible and professional, and an animal lover. I can’t think of anyone I would rather have at the other end of the leash!
