Highlights
Pet care experience
Treat your fur baby like my own
Hi there! I’m a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and small pets. As a former volunteer at animal services and someone who has raised small dogs since childhood, I bring both compassion and hands-on knowledge to every pet I care for. Currently, I’m a stay-at-home mom and author who enjoys outdoor activities, walking, and spending time with animals of all kinds. I especially love pet sitting for small pets like rabbits, birds, and hamsters, and I believe in giving them the best care—spoiling them with attention, love, and plenty of playtime. My large, secure backyard is perfect for socializing and active fun while you’re away. If you need someone trustworthy and dependable, I offer 24/7 care in a loving, animal-friendly home. I’m Deaf-friendly, children-friendly, and happy to accommodate last-minute bookings. I also provide pet transportation services and bathing options for your convenience. ⸻ Important Information: • Boarding: No meet and greets at my home • Pet Size: Small pets welcome (dogs, rabbits, birds, etc.) • Dog Requirements: Harness and crate-trained dogs only • Vaccines/Flea Treatment: Required before boarding • Availability: Full-time Rover sitter, 24/7 service • I do not have a dog at home • Bath service: $60 • Pet transportation (to vet/groomer): $40 • Last-minute bookings accepted • Children-friendly & Deaf-friendly environment If you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your fur babies like family, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to drive over and pick them up too!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in an apartment with an unfenced yard, so I provide safe, supervised outdoor time using a leash or harness at all times. I also have a reliable car, which allows me to travel to your home or transport your pet as needed. If crate training is required, I can easily crate your dog during their stay. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I kindly ask that your dog is leash-trained and well-behaved prior to boarding.
Ratings and reviews
Avril took great care of Kayleigh as always.
Ishtar always takes great care of Kayleigh.
Avril kept me informed about my dog and sent pictures. She took great care of my pet for the third time in recent months.
Avril was great to work with and took very good care of my dog. She sent pictures of Kayleigh and kept me informed throughout the stay. I would request Avril again to watch my dog.
First time experience using Rover for our young dog. Avril made us feel at ease sending pictures of our dog playing and looking happy. Would definitely use her again

Was awesome with our little girl (Callie). Pictures, updates, very happy with her care. Would recommend to anyone that needs a sitter!!
