Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and with a variety of needs. Volunteer with humane rescue alliance in DC since 2024 (can provide verification upon request) and certified to work with “blue” dogs. I regularly interact and sit for my brother and friends’ cats! Lots of references available!

Avani is an outstanding pet sitter! She has taken care of my cat, Kali, many times and always makes an effort to play with and stimulate the kitty. She also watched Kali during her post-spay recovery and was great at following any special instructions or requests I had! I'd highly recommend Avani for anyone who is seeking a thoughtful and caring pet sitter.

Avani is a phenomenal pet caregiver! I left my beloved senior dog Roxy in her care many many times over the course of 4 years of living in the city, and i know my Roxy always had the best time. My pup adored spending time with Avani and would get so excited to see her everytime! I even left Roxy with Avani for a whole month while I was traveling and I felt so at peace knowing she was so well cared for. Avani sent me tons of photos and was so communicative especially when Roxy had a minor medical emergency (which Avani handled like a true professional). I truly could not have imagined leaving my pup in better hands. Avani really cares for every animal as if they were her own and i could not recommend a better pet sitter!

Avani is a wonderful pet sitter and I’d recommend her to any pet owner! She has taken care of my two cats, Miso and Spoons, like they were her own animals. Very attentive, responsive, and caring. She also has experience working at a foster center and can handle dogs of all backgrounds. Can’t recommend enough!

I think our dog Stella loves Avani more than she loves us — and that’s saying something. Stella has some anxiety issues, and Avani is one of the only people she feels completely safe and relaxed around. Avani has a truly natural way with dogs. Every time I’ve seen her interact with Stella or other pets, she brings a calm, confident energy to which animals immediately respond. She takes the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs, and she tailors her care with thoughtfulness and intuition. What stands out most is how deeply she cares. She doesn’t just “watch” pets — she connects with them. Stella trusts her completely, and that trust has made such a difference. When Avani is caring for her, we have total peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Avani as a responsible, loving, and exceptionally skilled pet caregiver. Any pet would be lucky to have her in their life.
