Highlights
Pet care experience
Active Student Athlete & Pup Lover
I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.
Ratings and reviews
Averi is so reliable!! Our pup loves her afternoon adventure walks with her and she’s great with keeping up with the schedule.
Averi is the best in the biz! She is always on time, great at communication and our pup just loves her!
Averi has taken care of my dogs on and off for many years, including my work days and vacations. She goes above and beyond, playing with them as if they were her own. She will invent games to keep them active (give her some hotdogs for hide and seek and she'll tire them out)! She is incredibly responsible, never missing a scheduled day of daycare. She is competent in giving medications, and is happy to walk or run your dog based on its needs. She loves to cuddle our elderly dog and give her extra love. I would trust Averi with my pets and my kids!
I highly recommend Averi as a pet caregiver. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Averi goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, treating them like her own. You can trust her to provide reliable and compassionate care every time.
I highly recommend Averi as a dog sitter for anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. As a junior at Rockhurst University, she balances responsibility and dedication with a natural love for dogs that really stands out. Averi has hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. She is the proud owner of two wonderful dogs—a 12-year-old Lab named Bailey and a 6-year-old German Shepherd named Kona—which speaks volumes about her ability to care for both senior dogs and more energetic breeds. She understands the patience, attention, and consistency dogs need, whether that means gentle care for older pets or keeping up with active ones. What truly sets Averi apart is how naturally she connects with dogs. She treats every pet like her own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can trust that your dog will be in excellent hands, receiving plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Anyone would be lucky to have Averi look after their pets.

Schedule
As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable.
