Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Dog & Cat Lover
I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and am well versed in the care and effort they require. I have dog/house sat for multiple families with a variety of dogs (including large breeds, seniors and special needs) on multiple occasions. I have also recently trained my own puppy (lab, golden retriever cross) who is just over 4 years old now.

Safety, trust & environment
I take a daily hour long walk, and am happy to supplement with dog park visits or longer/multiple walks if your pup needs more exercise. I love playing fetch and tug of war, and like to snuggle up at the end of a long day and watch some reality TV, fillet crochet or read a new book!
Ratings and reviews
Ava is our to-go pet sitter for our cat Tito! She is just such a sweet and attentive human! She sends tons of photos while pet sitting and in all of them it seems like our cat truly feels comfortable and trusts her, it's even funny to see how he doesn't seem to miss us and is just enjoying his time with her. She is also very polite and professional in all the interactions. I truly recommend her to everyone.
This is our 3rd time having Ava stay at our house with the kitties and we just adore her. Thank you Ava! 😻
This experience exceeded my expectations. Ava was amazing with Mozi and respectful of our home. We will definitely book Ava again.
Ava cared for our cat on a drop in basis while we were away. She followed instructions well, asked questions when required, sent requested photos, and communicated quickly and effectively. Our cat loved her attention. Thanks Ava.
Ava was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of my little Hazel, my outside plants and my home. Right from the meet and greet until I returned home, Ava kept in close contact and provided lots of lovely, detailed updates and sweet pictures of Hazel. Ava was attentive, very thoughtful, professional, friendly and kind. She went above and beyond by helping to coordinate Hazel’s logistics for the annual fire inspection at my building and left notes for the technicians and communicated with the property managers about being mindful of the cat in the unit. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She actually left things nicer than when I left including washing and folding the bedding and towels - not expected! Ava exceeded my expectations and I would gladly contact her again to look after Hazel and my home. Thank you so much Ava! -Harmony & Hazel 😻🙏🏻✨
Ava was wonderful! She was extremely attentive when meeting my 2 cats, shared great updates after each visit, and was quick to respond during the booking process. I’d absolutely book with her again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Schedule
I am currently a university student at UofA studying Environmental-Civil Engineering. I am working on a co-op term until the end of August. I have flexibility to work from home if you would prefer me to stay home with your pet/s. After work all my attention will be on your furry family. I love to go out for walks in Hawrelak park or around new neighbourhoods and enjoy being active rain or shine!

- Tell me everything! I love hearing about your pet’s personality, favourite activities, nicknames, and all the little things that make them special. I’d also like to know about feeding schedules, daily exercise needs, and any medications or special care requirements. Talking through what a typical day looks like for them and any routines or habits they’re accustomed to is key. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable, happy, and relaxed as possible while you’re away, so the more I know, the better!
