I work an office job 8-4:30, so I’m free evenings, lunch breaks, and weekends! And of course with sitting for so long, I am more than happy to provide PLENTY of exercise via playing or walking. It helps to get me moving as well :). I can also provide morning check ins as well on my way to the office, or stays overnight and check on your pup during my hour lunch break :)

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one bedroom apartment with my dog and two cats- so I don’t tend to offer boarding unfortunately. However, I always do my best to leave all of my clients’ home in as good, if not better, condition. I always ensure to follow directions for all pets when it comes to food, water, habits, schedules, etc. just let me know and I will do everything in my power to keep it all running the way it would if you were home.

Information Averie G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog does being seperated. Any known anxiety and such! Also if they have a favorite toy, blanket, or bed feel free to lmk! I will do anything in my power to make sure they feel comfortable with me.

A typical day

I am beyond happy to walk any pets for as short or long as needed. I’m comfortable walking up to an hour at a time for those more energized pups. I’m ready to play any fetch, tug of war, laser pointer, etc games with your cats or dogs. If they require less extensive playing, I’m happy to even just sit and love on them however much they want.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with animals. My grandma has always had horses and dogs, along with having our own family dog since I was 9-10. He recently passed away this year, but we got another dog when he was 6. She’s actually mine now. I moved Gracie up to Colorado with me from Texas about 2 years ago. And she was basically my dog beforehand at my family home. I’ve also dealt with a more aggressive dog, as a previous roommates dog had some aggression issues due to a rough past. I just moved to Austin from San Angelo, where I attended ASU for two years whilst working on my Masters degree. I also was a collegiate athlete on the track team! I work currently right by west campus Monday through Friday, 8-4/5. One day a week (unknown yet) will be virtual, from home. With that being said, I’m free all evening and overnights if needed! I split my time seeing my boyfriend on weekends, as he still lives in San Angelo. Since they are planned visits, I will only be gone specific weekends and will mark accordingly on my calendar. I am comfortable around high or low energy animals! I have a dog who swings between high/low energy (she’s 10) and two cats who vary as well! I have experience walking dogs who require 1 hour of consistent walking, and have worked with dogs that are timid around people! My dog also is pretty chill around other dogs. She just prefers to ignore them. We have multiple dog beds and a water bowl available at all times! I love animals in general and have always been keen on living on more pets. I will gladly play with pets, or just pet, snuggle, and hangout with them. High or low energy dogs are no issue whatsoever!

We had a last minute request to walk our dog and Averie took very good care of him. He enjoyed the way. Thank you!

Averie was very responsive when scheduling house-sitting and took great care of our dogs and home. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how the dogs were doing. I would definitely recommend Averie for your pet-sitting needs!

Averie was amazing at taking care of our pups and home. The dogs immediately loved her and her energy and she was very responsible and trustworthy right off the bat. Super easy to communicate with and accommodated us for last minute help. We are very grateful for her help and ability to be resourceful when something unexpected came up.
