Pet care experience

Staycation-Style Live-In Sitter ✨

HELLO & HOW I CARE 🐾 I provide true staycation-style, live-in pet care. When I stay in your home, I genuinely settle in and am home the majority of the day — often not leaving at all (aside from walks or pet-related outings) — so your pets receive calm, consistent presence rather than being alone for long stretches. I’m a stay-at-home mom, and my baby may accompany me during stays (with your comfort and approval, of course). This simply means I’m home-centered, settled, and fully present — your pets become part of our peaceful little routine. MY BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and bring a wide range of hands-on experience to every pet I work with. I’ve worked full-time on a horse farm, have extensive experience with senior and large-breed dogs, and care for chickens (poultry/fowl) and goats on our homestead as part of my daily life. I’ve also spent years rehabilitating injured and orphaned wildlife. In my 20s, I worked at a vet clinic, so I’m comfortable administering medications and can provide subcutaneous fluids/IV on cats when needed. Throughout my life I’ve had dogs, cats, and small animals of my own, and I have a deep interest in animal behavior, rehabilitation, and enrichment — along with plenty of cuddles and snoot boops. 🙂 Long story short: animals receive attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely loving care with me. I currently have two cats, Leif and Huck, and am always happy for any opportunity to spend time caring for other pets and animals. Thank you for your consideration!

Safety, trust & environment

MY APPROACH I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet — and your home — in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. Creating a calm, safe, and loving environment is always my top priority. Pets truly get all my love. I was a nanny for several years and am now a new mom, so I bring the same patience, attentiveness, and nurturing approach to animals — focusing on engagement, enrichment, and meeting each pet where they’re at emotionally. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible while providing companionship, play, and comfort.

Cannot say enough great things about Avery and the care she has provided to our dogs. Lacy and Duke love her and we do too!

Avery was absolutely fantastic in looking after my two cats whilst I was out of town! She made sure they were fed, watered and played with and kept me up to date with super sweet report cards. Would absolutely recommend, and my cats have told me to go on vacation MORE!

Avery was super! Sent updates and kept us in the loop. Our dog had a blast with her and she took great care of our home.

Avery is an amazing dog sitter! She stayed with our two elderly pups, both of which needed some meds, and I never worried a bit. It’s hard to describe what a relief it is to find such a kind, communicative and responsible person for our pups. Highly recommend!

Avery did an incredible job looking after my kitty while I was out of the country. My cat gets daily medicine and can be a little fussy/get stressed when her routine changes. They were best buds by the end of the trip! Avery truly went over and above.

Schedule

ABOUT STAYS & SCHEDULE We welcomed our first baby in October and I’m now accepting new and returning clients on a part-time basis. Baby will be accompanying me most of the time — I see this as a wonderful way to stay active, get out of the house, and spend quality time with sweet pups (plus enjoy a few mini adventures together!). We’re a very active family, and I have baby carriers for every occasion, which makes it easy to stay fully hands-on with walks, playtime, and routines while keeping little one close. My schedule is flexible, and when I commit to a stay, I truly settle in. I treat my time in your home as a staycation — I’m there the vast majority of the day aside from normal errands and walks. Su casa es mi casa 😉

WHAT I’LL ASK ABOUT YOUR PET To provide the best care possible, I love to learn as much as I can about your pet ahead of time, including: • Any special needs or medications • Diet, feeding routines, or restrictions • How they are around other animals (both on leash with dogs and around cats, since I have two) • Favorite comforts — treats, toys, parks, or routines • Their usual walking/activity/play schedule and how long they’re comfortable being alone • Any commands they know And any other information you’d like to share — the more the better, in my opinion. 🙂
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
