Pet care experience

Trustworthy sitter in Austin

I have always grown up with pets in my household. My pets are my family and I would do anything for them. I have had fish, rabbits, dogs and cats. I also grew up in a small town where I was exposed to horses and my grandmas pet chickens. We also take in every stray cat that crosses our lawn. Every pet has a different personality and I love getting to know everyone’s pet. I love taking photos of everyone’s pets and sending it to you throughout the day! If I were to watch your dog I would make sure it was always in a safe environment and not in any dangerous situations. That being said I still would want to take your dog on walks and throw a ball with them to get rid of some energy. I also wouldn’t mind grooming your dog if it was a rainy day and they happen to get muddy.

Went above and beyond for my senior dog. He was so comfortable and at home with Ava. She was great at communicating with me the entire week. 10/10 would book again and recommend to others.

Ava is the best! Our usually anxious Pomeranian has been in such a happy mood since spending the day with her, she really put her at ease. Your dog will be in kind and knowledgeable hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to be very dependable. Whenever I pet sit I try to make sure the pet feels very comfortable and that there is a a very consistent schedule.
