Availability

Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life since I have 3 dogs of my own, so I’m used to being around dogs 24/7. Walks, feeding, and giving them attention is just part of my normal routine. Adding walks and drop-ins fits in really naturally for me, and I genuinely enjoy it. I have class in the mornings, which allows me to be available on weekdays and weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

I only do walks and drop-ins, so I make sure your dog stays comfortable in their own space and sticks to their usual routine. I always follow whatever the owner tells me and won’t do anything without your permission. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, so I treat them like my own and make sure everything is done the way you want.

Information Ava W. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to know a few important details to make sure I can give them the best experience possible. It’s helpful to know about their daily routine, energy level, and how they do on walks or around other animals. I also like to know if they know any commands and what works best for them. Please share any special needs, medications, or behaviors I should be aware of, as well as what helps them feel most comfortable. The more I know about your pet’s personality and preferences, the better I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

It really depends on the dog’s personality! I’m always happy to go on walks, play with their favorite toys, or just hang out and give them attention. Since I’m around my own dogs all the time, I’m used to different energy levels and can adjust easily. I always stick to what the owner is comfortable with too.

Your Pet’s New Favorite Friend❤️

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I currently have three dogs of my own and all very different. I have a very hyper dog who needs lot of play time as well as an elderly dog who’s very mellow. I’ve looked after all kinds of dogs, different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I also pet sit often for family and neighbors, so caring for other people’s pets feels natural to me. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pup, so I’ll treat them like my own and keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just cuddles and company, your dog will always get plenty of love, attention, and care with me!

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
