Dog mom and experienced dog sitter!

Pet care experience

First and foremost, I am a pet mom to a mid-sized golden doodle named Tito who is 2.5 years old and want to do everything in my power to make him happy. Dog boarding, daycare, and walks are a great way for your high- and mid-energy pup to let off some steam with lots of space and toys for playing, up to 2 hours of walking per day, and a pal to help your furry friend feel at ease. House sitting and drop in visit services are also great! If our pups get along, I can bring him over for supervised play, otherwise he can stay home and you dog can have walks. I have taken care of dogs for almost 10 years and have 2 family dogs that I have lived with since my early teen years. I have been taking in Rover clients for 2 months! I have worked with many families as a dog walker and dog sitter, and now that I have a home I want to bring in other dogs whenever possible to keep Tito happy!

Avi took great care of our pup over a long weekend. Her dog Tito was friendly and helped our Junie settle right in. Avi sent frequent updates and photo and gave Junie lots of walks and affection during her stay. It was our first time leaving Junie with a sitter, and Avi provided a great experience for us all.

Avi is GREAT with pets! She used to take care of my two family labradors. She would stay at the house and play with them, and give them lots of attention and stimulation. She was great about making sure they got multiple walks and stayed on their usual schedule. My favorite thing was that she always sent us so many photo updates! I knew my dogs were well taken care of with her watching them. We previously boarded our dogs and they always came back slimmer and not their usual peppy selves. After staying with Avi they were so happy and well taken care of. The dogs are always so excited to see her when she comes back - they might even like her better than us now :)

Avi is a natural born animal lover. She has taken care of our dogs on so many occasions when we have had to leave town. The dogs never get to miss their daily walks..at least twice a day. Avi is responsible, punctual, and a woman of her word. Your fur babies will be well taken care of when under the care of Avi.

Avi took care of my golden doodle a few weeks ago and did an amazing job! She has her own dog (also a doodle) and my dog was thrilled to have a "friend". I was a little anxious that my dog would be nervous being in a different environment but right away she made him feel comfortable. Throughout the weekend she sent pictures of the dogs walking, playing at the park and just cuddling together! She is very responsible and attentive. I highly recommend her and will be a repeat customer for sure!!!

Safety, trust & environment

With a fenced in backyard, the dogs can come and go as they please, but new dogs are always supervised and I will open/close the door for them to the outside area. My boarding and daycare environment is a great fit for playful dogs who need to get out lots of energy! When we have guests, I usually gate off certain areas but allow them to play in the large hallways/living room and large outdoor area. For walks, we do not go out of the house without a leash! Keeping your pup safe is my priority. I prefer 4-6ft leashes. I usually like to walk in neighborhoods or through parks where there is minimal traffic.

Information Avi W. would like to know about your pet

- What does your dog’s feeding schedule look like? - how often do they need to go to the bathroom? And typically how much exercise do they get on a daily basis? - what is your dog’s energy level? Do they get along well with other dogs? - Medications or dietary restrictions? - what can I do for you to feel like your dog is well taken care of? - what are your dog’s biggest stressors/anxieties? - what makes your dog bark?

A typical day

I typically start the day with some type of exercise for about 45+ mins, either a walk or a trip to the dog park! Then he will eat breakfast and chill for a few hours. This is when I’ll run my errands. In the afternoon he will chill in the backyard or be napping more, unless a dog is around… then he’s ready for more play! At night we do a second walk and call it a day.

I am currently living in a large home with a fenced in backyard with my pup Tito and my parent’s dog Ziggy who is 8. They enjoy a walk in the morning and usually dog park time or play time at night. They are very friendly but love new dogs and can come off strong. They love playing, exploring, and just sleeping lots! I am not currently working and will be in and out of the house. I can accommodate pee breaks about every 3 hours. I also have an automatic dog door so if your pup is used to that, this is a GREAT fit, but I am happy to train on that or forego use all together.
