Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Ava. I have experience in pet sitting for friends and neighbors when they are out of town or working. I helped co-parent a friend’s puppy for a year. My sister owns a German shepherd puppy and has also recently adopted a Great Pyrenees and I have helped care for both! I’ve grown up with mainly cats and have one of my own that I rescued and care for deeply.

We are so happy we booked with Ava! Our pets are truly like our children. Leaving them behind is never easy, especially when it comes to finding someone we trust to care for them. Ava was amazing from start to finish. She kept us updated throughout our entire trip and sent daily pictures which gave us peace of mind. We could tell our pets were so happy and well cared for. I highly recommend booking with her – she is wonderful!

Ava did a great job of taking care of our animals. She let us know when she arrived and sent us a couple of pictures throughout her stay. She was very understanding of the house being in disarray given that we were about to undergo a kitchen remodel the week after her visit. The house was in good shape when we returned, and all animals were doing well.

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.
