Fun-loving, Outdoorsy, and Flexible

Pet care experience

Becoming a pet sitter was a really natural process for me. I love animals and am very open to helping others. I started by becoming the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, and then I found out about Rover! I offer both dog boarding and house sitting, as well as walks, drop ins and daycare. No matter what your dog needs, I can help! I'm lucky enough to have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home every Summer. This allows me to supervise the animals in my care, and to provide them with lots of attention. I've had several dogs in my life with special needs like mobility issues or old age, so I know how to be mindful of these conditions. I'm easygoing, friendly and polite, it's not hard for humans or dogs to get along with me! When I'm not sitting I love gardening and baking. I do occasional work as a chef/baker and occasionally do some consulting work in those fields. I'm active and love hiking and walking around Craftsbury and the NEK. I genuinely care about all people, I enjoy doing nice things and love my friends and family. You can be confident that I will care for your pet and provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your animal is with someone who loves them. I was active on Rover for a little less than a year back in Chicago and developed great relationships with many families, several of whom were regularly in contact for ongoing doggy care. I moved to Vermont to attend Sterling College to study Sustainable Food Systems and Social Justice. I love being in the NEK and will be here for years to come thanks to my partner's job.

Avery was a fantastic pet sitter and was extremely responsive and communicative. We got lots pics and updates and were confident our pups and cat were in good hands. Would absolutely book Avery again.

Avery did a great job with my 2 dogs, a golden and a lab mix. He brought them for their walks, played with them and generally just seemed to really enjoy being with them.

Avery did an excellent job dropping in to care for my cats. Not only did my cats quickly warm to Avery’s warm and calm energy, but Avery followed instructions to the t and was very flexible with a few last minute schedule changes. The update texts Avery sent each day put my mind at ease and I was relieved to know my cats were in such good hands.

Information Avery C. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences. I have a lot of experience with, and a bit of a soft spot for, large dogs and "bully breeds". I want to know as much about your pet before the stay as possible so I can provide the best care. Please let me know what you think is important to know about your pet. Any major stressors or favorite activities or objects are great to be aware of. As well as any destructive/ anxious tendencies and any health issues.

A typical day

I enjoy starting the day with some exercise and have breakfast afterwords. Your dog and I will hang out at home together and play as much as possible. I like to take at least two forty minute walks depending on both the weather and your dog's physical ability. There are walking trails within walking distance of my house. Plus a couple of fenced or mostly fenced public areas where we like to go and run. Tug and fetch are just two of my many physical talents. I also enjoy running through typical commands and working on new prompts. When we're not playing together, we'll lounge together.

My full time employment fluctuates which makes pet sitting an ideal supplemental gig for me. Because Rover charges by the night-- I appreciate it if you pay for an additional night if you need me to stay past 10 AM the day of departure. Thanks!
