I’m a comedian with a remote, work from home job. I have a flexible schedule and like petsitting + dog walking because they get me out of the house and keep me active. And I always love meeting new animals!

I am tidy, responsible, and communicative. I’ll go to your home following exact instructions and send photo + text updates about your animals’ needs. I cannot offer petsitting in my own apartment, but I’m happy to travel.

Information Ava Y. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know if your pet eats at an exact time everyday so I can best fit them into my schedule! I’m comfortable working with all energy levels, but it’s also helpful to know if your dog pulls on walks and is well behaved near other animals. Anything you want to know about your pet, I’m happy to hear!

A typical day

I love playing with cat toys, going on different walking routes around my neighborhood, and finding new ways to keep your pets engaged and happy.

NYC Pet Sitting + Dog Walking 😸🦮

Pet care experience

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! 🐈 I’m a recent Columbia graduate who loves animals and grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, and a guinea pig. Right now my family has 4 dogs and 4 cats, ranging from 2yrs old to 16. I have experience walking the dogs alone and in groups, administering oral and topical medications, cleaning animal wounds/applying bandages, and cleaning messes. With our older pets especially, I’ve become comfortable dealing with more complex health and behavioral needs. I’m on the LES working from home with flexible hours. I give thoughtful and detailed updates on your pets while taking care of them, and I love walking dogs rain or shine! 🤍

Ava is very responsible and caring person. She understood how stressful fireworks are for the cats and came on the holiday night to be with my cat during the fireworks. My cat loves her. I’ll definitely ask for her help again.

Ava was incredibly communicative (and took the best photos!). I genuinely think Ranger was upset when she left - he was so well cared for. We will absolutely hire Ava again :)

Ava was amazing with Ollie! She took care of him very well and was patient until he came out of his shell. He can be a bit shy at first but he ended up loving her and was comfortable to play with her and loaf next to her on the couch! Thank you Ava and I’ll definitely be booking you again :)

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.
