Pet care experience

Dog Walker and Pet-Sitter

Hello! I’m a full-time Pet Care Specialist. I’ve walked every pup from Shih-Tzus to Newfoundlands. I was employed as an assistant manager for a Pet Care Service until I decided to do it on my own. I also used to help foster, and learned some basic training techniques from the owner of a nonprofit dog rescue called Bonafied. I’m great at befriending dogs. Even a few I had met that were deemed aggressive, I was able to rub their bellies and was greeted with the wiggles after a few visits. I’m very patient with pets, especially scared ones. I work with cats as well, and love them just as much! I provide plenty of picture updates during every visit. I require meet and greets in order to get to know your furbaby beforehand. I feel it necessary to say I am autistic and have adhd. I get burnt out easily and struggle with socializing. That does not affect the care I put into working with pets, just my availability and ability to carry a conversation. I won't work when my mental state isn't doing well. It is best for me to have a set schedule, and for clients to have a backup in case I can't work suddenly. I cherish the memories I make with everyone’s pets I’m lucky to have met. Thank you to whomever considers me. If you’d like to set up a meet, please contact me!

Safety, trust & environment

I follow your pets' routine and provide photo updates as frequently as requested. I will go with your preferences. I can give dogs medications and have had experience giving epidermal shots with one senior GSD. I may need a refresher, but I am capable. I take all the safety precautions when letting dogs into their backyard and when taking them on walks. I will double check gates are closed before letting your pup out and double check that I've locked your door on my way out. I know how to avoid dogs and people if your dog isn't friendly.

Incredibly grateful for Ava's promptness and care. Pictures were great, could not have been more happy with the peace of mind she provided while I was away.

Ava was great! She was awesome with our kitties and all their individual needs. She sent great pictures and updates that made me feel comfortable about leaving them at home.

Schedule

My normal schedule is preferrably M-Th 8am-5pm. Availability may change at anytime. I may not be able to work some weeks/days due to my mental health. I won't cancel on the same day, but I will have to cancel the next appointments until further notice. I no longer take last minute appointments, I had too many people taking advantage of that. If you hire me full-time, I'd like to know by Sunday what the schedule is for me to walk/visit for the upcoming week. I will make an exception for last minute requests if I can.

0 to 15 lbs

I need to know if they have any aggression with other dogs or people, any medications, or special care requirements. Pretty much anything about your pet that you feel warrants a headsup.
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.
