Your Pet’s New Favorite Friend

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.

Averi is amazing and took such good care of our cat! She attended to everything we asked. We had a lot of peace of mind knowing that Wilbur was taken care of while we were away.

Dog Walking • Aug 27, 2026

Averi was great with our dog the past few weeks while our regular walker was away! She’s a busy lady, and she was great with communicating schedule changes. Will definitely contact her again in the future! ☺️

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.

Pets

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!

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.
