Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all of the owner’s instructions carefully from feeding times and medication schedules to preferred walking routes and bedtime routines. I also make sure their home stays neat and secure, bringing in mail or watering plants if needed.

Information Ava R. would like to know about your pet

Before pet sitting your animal(s) I would love to know if they take any medication or have any specific dietary needs. I would also love to know how many walks/ how much outside time they need a day.

A typical day

I love playing games with dogs like tug a war and running around with them outside. I also love taking long walks or hikes with your pets.

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was 12. I’m skilled in administering medication, maintaining feeding and exercise routines, I always keep owners updated with photos and detailed check-ins. I also love taking dogs to the dog park or on hikes and long scenic walks as well taking them to a creek to play in.

Took great care of the house and sent lots of pics of the gang! Everyone and everything seemed well cared for when we returned.

Ava was a wonderful sitter for our dog and cat. She was an excellent communicator throughout the whole process. The animals were happy when we got back and the house was in order - couldn’t ask for more!

Ava is such a wonderful sitter! She spent so much time with our needy dogs while we were away for 4 days. They can be quite nervous and easily stressed and they did great with Ava, even our older dog who is very picky. Ava was very easy to get in touch with and sent us pictures of the girls throughout the weekend. She also tidied up and took great care of our house. We will hire Ava again and again and you should too!

We couldn't be happier with the care our dogs (and our home!) received while we were away. Ava was simply fantastic from start to finish. She kept us updated daily with adorable photos and messages that put our minds completely at ease. The dogs were clearly thrilled to have her around—we came home to happy, relaxed, and obviously well-loved dogs. On top of that, she took exceptional care of the house, leaving everything spotless and even handling a few little extras we didn't expect. Reliable, trustworthy, affectionate with the pups, and genuinely thoughtful—everything you hope for in a sitter and more. We feel so lucky to have found Ava and will definitely be booking again. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you, Ava—you're the best! 🐶❤️

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
