Treating Your Pup Like My Own

Pet care experience

I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years, caring for all kinds of dogs—from tiny seniors with special needs to energetic puppies who just want to play all day. My love for animals started early, growing up around a family member who did professional dog sitting. I learned firsthand what it takes to care for dogs with love, patience, and attention to detail. I’ve also owned dogs of my own growing up, including some with medical conditions, so I’m very comfortable with giving medications, sticking to routines, and providing the extra care that pets with health needs require. Whether your dog needs a quiet companion, an active walk buddy, or someone who understands medical care, I’ve got them covered. I truly treat every dog like family.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in my clients’ homes, I always aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment. In my home, I provide a clean, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to feeding times, walks, play, or downtime—to make the transition stress-free. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and care, making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar space while also keeping everything tidy and secure. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs, whether that includes administering medications, helping with mobility issues, or just giving a little extra TLC. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for—no matter where they are.

Information Ava W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, requires medication, or isn’t comfortable around other dogs. This helps me provide the best care possible and make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away!

A typical day

One of my favorite things to do is spend time with dogs—whether it’s going on daily walks, running along the beach, or treating them to their favorite snacks. I love keeping dogs active and engaged, whether it’s a relaxing stroll, a fun run, or a play session by the water. There’s nothing better than seeing their tails wag with excitement, especially when they know a treat or adventure is coming up. Making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved is always my top priority.

During the school year, I work full-time as a teacher, which means I have summers off! Now that I’m on summer break, I have much more flexibility in my schedule and am currently available every day of the week except Sundays. I do have some scheduled trips during some weekends and one week, but I have reflected that in my schedule already. During the school year, I will be available in the afternoons and nights. Whether your dog needs regular walks, extra attention during the day, or reliable sitting while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help throughout the year.
