Pet care experience

Energetic, respectful, responsible

I’ve grown up with a dog my entire life, from the puppy training stage to the slow senior stage I have seen it all. I absolutely love dogs, and I understand that to many owners, dogs are their children! They deserve the same attention to detail as a human child gets in babysitting. I am very passionate about respecting the owner’s expectations for their pet’s experience, as well as their homes and spaces. I follow instructions strictly, as I know how nerve wracking it can be to trust a stranger with your pet, and I do my absolute best to make sure that trust and respect are felt!

Safety, trust & environment

As I mentioned before, I pride myself in my ability to strictly follow owner’s expectations and rules. I will treat your pet with the level of attention that I would treat someone’s child, and I will always respect your home/spaces the same I would my own (very highly.) Trusting a stranger to care for your pet is definitely difficult thing to do, so I will always keep that in mind while caring for your dog/cat. I am always always open to sending daily photos/updates of pets or whatever is needed for ultimate comfortability!

Ava was so sweet, thoughtful, willing to take a long last minute booking, showed up everyday, and the dogs seemed so happy when we got back! Would 100% recommend.

Ava has loved animals her whole life and was relied upon as a teenager to look after neighborhood pets, including those who needed special medication and attention. She is very responsible and has grown up with a dog and cats who she loves dearly. They are just as fond of her. Ava is a responsible and reliable individual who can be trusted with any pet.

Greetings! If you have a dog and/or cat that needs some lovin’, and maybe some food and exercise as well, then Ava is your gal! Here at home, our dog and two cats consider us as place holders until their favorite human comes home from college to visit, at which time our laps become undesirable and Ava becomes the “go to” human. Ava has had numerous paid gigs around the neighborhood as an animal caretaker including those with special medical needs. If you want to feel comfortable and confident about your pet’s wellbeing while on vacation or on a work trip, then give Ava a call.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently a college student who is also working part time, so I have lots of gaps and free time to be given to pets! When I am not working, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to visit with pets for whatever time is needed, if I am working, I work 6 hour shifts, only allowing for visits before and after my shift. I have a pretty open class schedule.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Ava can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If your dog has any behavioral concerns or quirks please let me know! I am used to my dog having little quirks (like not liking strangers putting their face in his) so I am fully prepared for any little specifications your pet might have, just don’t keep me in the dark!
