I love dogs and love loving dogs!
Pet care experience
I have been raised with dogs in the house. By spending an extensive amount of time with dogs, I know how to interpret their nonverbal cues. I have been dog-sitting for the past seven years with dogs of all sizes and ages, and it has become one of my favorite jobs. Walking and dog-sitting dogs provides me with an opportunity to exercise and spend time with the world's greatest animal. I am comfortable delivering medications to older dogs, and making sure I can meet the needs of both you and your pet. I also have a dog-friendly car (2012 VW Jetta), so if your pet has a park they enjoy or if they need a bath at the local groomer, I can make sure they get there. I am open to doing whatever needs to be done to make sure you and your pet are happy and satisfied. I am also open to meeting with you beforehand to make sure you trust me with your pet!
Reviews
Highly recommend Aviva! She cared for our very active pup in our home for the weekend, was a delight to communicate with, and took excellent care of both our dog and our house. We would absolutely ask her to help us out again.
Aviva is so sweet with my little one! She takes good care of him during the drop-in visits and always updates me when she is done. Highly recommend her!!
Aviva was very adept when taking care of our two rambunctious pups. She’s kind, professional, responsive, and able to adapt to different situations. Highly recommended.
Aviva is so positive and outgoing and she does a great job with our seven month old puppy! She really helps us out in the morning! Thank you!!!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When taking care of pets overnight, I know how to ensure the dog doesn’t get into rooms (or food bags) they aren’t allowed into, as well as ensuring that the doors to the outside are securely fastened. I also have experience watching dogs in both fenced and unfenced yards and keeping them safe in both environments.
Information Aviva D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are certain behaviors I should look out for, medications they need to take, or certain kinds of dogs and people they prefer or would rather avoid.
A typical day
Depending on your dogs needs, I can play fetch with them for as long as they need, take them on walks around the neighborhood, or socialize them at nearby parks. Long walks are always on the table! They’re great for your furry friend and for me! I always take a pup on a walk first thing in the morning, and make sure they are getting outside time throughout the day.
