Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Favorite Person ❤️

I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved taking care of them. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m used to different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Having both energetic dogs and older dogs has taught me that every pet has different needs. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, so I’m comfortable looking after animals outside my own home. I want every pet I care for to feel comfortable, loved, and safe. Whether your dog enjoys going on walks, playing with toys, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to make their time with me enjoyable. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with lots of pictures and in-depth messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and happiness are very important to me. I always follow your care instructions, make sure doors and gates are secure, and stay alert during walks. I do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine while giving them plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I’ll send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing, and I’ll let you know if anything seems unusual. As someone who has had dogs my whole life, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll care for them as if they were my own!

We love Ava, she has walked Stoney about 6 or 7 times. He sits by the front door just waiting for her. She sends her route and pic on every walk. Sometimes I feel a little worried about the cold for Ava, but she is a trooper. Thanks Ava

Ava, Was so nice. Not afraid of our dog jumping on her. She was not worried about the snow or cold. She was on time, she sent pictures and told us when she was near. We liked her alot, so did Stoney. I will book again. Thank you Ava.

Schedule

I’m a current nursing student, and my class schedule allows me to offer pet care throughout most of the week. I’m generally available Sunday through Thursday after 10:30 AM. I also work Fridays and Saturdays, but I’m available after 7:30 PM on those days. I enjoy fitting pet care into my routine and will do my best to find a time that works for you and your pet!

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn about their personality, daily routine, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. It’s helpful to know their energy level, favorite activities, walking habits, and how they interact with other animals. Please also let me know about any medications, special needs, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of. Knowing these details ahead of time helps me provide care that fits your pet’s needs.
