Avery did a good job with our dog and cat. They both looked happy during they’re time with Avery through the photos she sent.

Avery was fantastic with Bowie! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease. Avery was so communicative and thoughtful, sending us updates and the cutest pictures throughout our trip. It meant the world to see Bowie looking so happy and comfortable. Avery clearly has a natural way with dogs and gave Bowie lots of love and attention. We never had to wonder how our puppy was doing because Avery kept us in the loop every step of the way. We’re so grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to Avery again for future sits!

Avery responded to my booking request very quickly and we arranged for a meet and greet. She stayed with my four dogs, which included a 7 month old puppy who had surgery and needed to be confined. Since she has worked in a vet’s office, I felt very comfortable with her taking care of him during his recovery. Avery was very flexible, communicated well and the dogs were all happy when I returned. I would not hesitate to book Avery again. I am glad she will be in the area for a few more years.

Reliable, skilled, and friendly care. Our cat is very shy, and Avery knew how to quickly make him feel comfortable and loved. Lots of great updates. We will book her again!
