Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow your routines and instructions so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect that every pet has their own personality and preferences, and I take time to build trust at their pace. During drop-in visits, I provide: Fresh water, feeding, and any needed cleanup (litter boxes, accidents, etc.) Enrichment and playtime suited to your pet’s energy level Walks or outdoor time if requested Medication administration if needed (pill/PB treat, liquid, etc.) Calming companionship for shy or anxious pets For house sitting, I maintain structure and consistency by: Following your schedule for meals, walks, bedtime, and routines Keeping your home tidy and secure Sending regular photo and message updates so you always feel connected Giving plenty of play, affection, and supervision so pets never feel alone My goal is to make your time away stress-free — for both you and your pets.

Information Averi J. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I always appreciate knowing any details that help me provide the best and safest care possible. It’s helpful to understand: Daily routines (feeding schedule, walk preferences, favorite activities) Personality and behavior (shy, energetic, cuddly, anxious, reactive, etc.) How they interact with new people and other animals Any medical needs or health concerns (medications, allergies, physical limitations) Triggers or fears (loud noises, strangers, certain dogs, vacuum cleaners, car rides, etc.) Training cues or commands they know Preferred potty routines and any house rules Favorite toys, treats, or comfort items The more I know about your pet’s preferences and needs, the better I can tailor care to help them feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and help them feel safe and loved while you’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated! I tailor activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and favorite ways to play. For dogs, that might include walks around the neighborhood, sniff-and-explore adventures, fetch, tug-of-war, training practice, or puzzle toys to keep their minds busy. For more relaxed pups, I’m always happy to provide gentle strolls and plenty of cuddle time. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys like feather wands and lasers, window bird-watching, treat puzzles, or simply sitting together and giving affection if they prefer calm companionship. I’m also patient with shy or cautious cats and will go at their pace to help them feel comfortable. No matter the pet, I make sure our time together is fun, enriching, and full of love — and of course, there will always be lots of photos and updates so you can share the smiles too!

Your Pet’s New Favorite Friend

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Averi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I’ve raised 7 cats, 2 dogs, 3 rabbits, 3 birds, and even a desert tortoise, so no matter the species or personality, I’m comfortable and confident providing loving and patient care. I currently live with one friendly cat in my apartment, and while I don’t provide boarding, I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I truly believe pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own. Why Choose Me 🐾 Experienced with many species and temperaments 🐾 Calm, patient, and attentive to behavior & body language 🐾 Reliable communication + photo & video updates 🐾 Clean, respectful, and trustworthy in your home 🐾 Multi-pet households welcome My Services ✓ Dog walking — exercise, enrichment, and fun walks ✓ Drop-in visits — feeding, water, litter/clean up, medication if needed, playtime & cuddles ✓ House sitting — consistent routine, companionship, home care & security ✓ Special care — comfortable with shy or anxious pets, senior pets, and small animal handling Availability I’m available Monday–Friday before 7 AM and after 3 PM, and I’m flexible on weekends for walks, visits, and house-sitting requests. What to Expect Every pet has their own personality and needs — I always take time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a high-energy dog who loves long walks, a gentle senior who needs a slow pace, or a shy cat who just wants quiet companionship, I tailor care to them. Your peace of mind matters, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication every step of the way.

This was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy. Averi is awesome!! Our kitties clearly sensed she was safe and kind because they came right up to her and let her let them. That’s rare for a first introduction. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies.

Averi was incredibly attentive and caring towards our cat and dog during in-home visits while we were out of town. She provided clear highlights from each visit and kept us informed with how each pet was doing along with including photos of each of them at every visit which was so appreciated! We are already at ease with future trips knowing we have a safe and reliable person to care for our fur babies!

Averi was amazing with being flexible to meet Titans needs. She was very open and communicative during their first visit together. We are excited to have her spend more time with Titan. He seemed to really like her and felt comfortable and safe with her.

Averi sat at our home with BooBoo for 4 full days. She did a great job with communication from beginning to end. I would consider using Averi again when the need arises. She left flowers and photographs of her adventures with my Boo
