Pet care experience

I say 22 years under “Pet Care Experience,” for never in my life have I been without beloved pets; cats, dogs, geckos, and even chickens! I’ve become familiar with administering the dreaded de-worming pill, seizure medication, probiotics, stubborn kitty flea medications and even oral syringes to elderly dogs. I would love to make this experience as stress-free as possible for you and especially your beloved pets. I consider myself to be very understanding of animal body language and communication. Therefore, I will be very attentive to your pet’s every need; as well as notice what makes them feel anxious or annoyed. I take this job very seriously and would love to be considered as your next sitter! (My pricing is flexible and may not be what appears on my service page as Rover doesn’t reflect hourly pay) Thank you!

Another great experience with Ava! She left our home cleaner than it was when she arrived and made sure our dog had a fun weekend. We’ll definitely be using her again.

Ava did an amazing job caring for our dog and our home while we were out of town for a week! She was very friendly and communicative, and gave our dog lots of attention while keeping us updated frequently. She was also very flexible and understanding when we had some travel issues (delayed/canceled flights). She was able to keep our dog happy and our home spotless during a very rainy week, which is no easy task. We really appreciated her care and will definitely use her again!

Ava was incredible with our two large, somewhat difficult pups! She took incredible care of them, and we trusted her completely. One of our dogs has seizures and requires medications twice a day, which she gave perfectly. Our other dog has sensitive skin, and she even noticed that a spot was bothering him and let us know so we could start his medications. She was very communicative, and we knew our dogs were in great hands. Will definitely book again!

Ava was absolutely amazing with our pup, who was sick and needed some extra TLC. She followed all of our care and medication instructions perfectly and kept us constantly updated, which really put our minds at ease. Her communication was awesome, and we could tell she genuinely cared. On top of that, she went above and beyond taking care of our home too! We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again.
