Safety, trust & environment

I am able to come to your home and work with whatever you have available for me to utilize with your pet. In my own home, I have a small fenced-in patio as well as a park within close walking distance. I also have a car that can fit any pet if necessary (or in case of emergency etc.)

Information Ava S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog needs any special/specific care or behaviors that I should be aware of so I can make sure to provide the best care possible! I also prefer to dogs that are not overly rowdy or aggressive so let me know if they are and I can work with you to figure out next steps!

A typical day

I love playing with dogs and cannot wait to throw a ball or run around with your dogs! I also love to explore and can't wait to find new parks near your house to bring your dog or even take them to the dog park near my place!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of 4 of my family dogs including walking to washing to feeding and everything in between! I have also helped train a friend's puppy and have pet-sat for multiple friends. I volunteered at an animal shelter in the foster care division for 3 years and worked with all sorts of animals such as dogs, cats, bunnies, and more!

As always, Ava is amazing! I had a last minute sitter cancellation and I reached out to Ava and she was available to help and I booked her within 30 minutes from the original cancellation! Thank you so much again. We and the pets appreciate you!

Ava was so sweet to our pup! She came in for a drop-in and left a very detailed report of what took place during the drop-in and bunch of pictures! Would definitely recommend her to pet parents that enjoy detailed updates!

Ava was great with both Dala and Klay! Grateful for her updates and checking in on my babies🩷 Already booked her again for an upcoming trip!

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.
