I recently graduated college and am unemployed so I have plenty of time to spare for your pet! I am open to any walking length and am flexible with times and days. I also have plenty of experience house sitting and taking care of pets in their own homes/environment. I am great at keeping routines and following a schedule so caring for pets fits perfectly into my day!

Safety, trust & environment

I take instructions and guidelines seriously when taking care of people’s pets so I make sure to follow them accordingly and carefully. I utilize whatever resources made available by clients to take better care of their pet. I also always make sure pets are comfortable with me and that I can properly understand and care for their needs! Whether a pet needs a slower walking pace, longer or shorter walks, specific food, or needs certain conditions to be comfortable or safe in their home I make sure to accommodate their needs.

Information Ava S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special instructions or needs that I need to be aware of! I don’t have any breed preferences and I have taken care of pets with medication and special feeding needs in the past. I will always prioritize pet parents’ instructions and guidelines for their pets. If there are any behavior specifications that would be good to know too! (Things they don’t like, how they are on walks/with other people or pets, if they have any behaviors I should be aware of)

A typical day

I really enjoy playing with pets and being active with them. Taking dogs for nice walks and playing outside like with fetch or other activities is my favorite. I also love playing with my own cats but they’re pretty lazy so I love playing with cats whenever I get the chance!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, houses, children, and more since I was 15. I’ve always loved animals as well as helping people out when they need it so this opened many opportunities for me at a young age to take care of pets for the people around me. Through networking with those people I was able to extend further and meet more people to provide care for. I have multiple years of experience dog sitting and walking, cat sitting, and house sitting in addition to raising my own pets over the years. There is no pet I couldn’t come to love and enjoy being around and I love how taking care of them can also enrich my own experiences and knowledge about animals! I can walk and care for small dogs to large dogs as long as they aren’t completely without basic training. I also have experience caring for elderly/sick dogs and cats including following specific feeding concerns and keeping up with medicines.

Ava is an exceptional pet sitter, and we highly recommend her! We have a diverse group of animals, including two French Bulldogs, a large Black Lab weighing over 100 pounds, two cats, chickens, and several other animals, and she provides outstanding care for all of them. Ava is incredibly responsible, dependable, and attentive to each animal's individual needs. She is an excellent communicator who regularly sends photos and updates, giving us peace of mind and allowing us to enjoy our time away knowing our pets are in great hands. It's obvious that Ava genuinely loves animals and takes pride in the care she provides. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we completely trust her with our home and animals. We would not hesitate to recommend Ava to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!
