Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely careful when I arrive to pick up at the animal house . and triple careful when I am caring for cats. At my house the only outside is to a patio which is fully enclosed. When on walk , no matter what , the pup will ALWAYS be leashed up and under my control. I try and establish trust with the animal immediately upon the few moments of encountering them. I always practice basic commands to aid in establishing good comfortable communication with the animal. I believe in practicing patience/ love respect with the animals and they return the same such that their stay with me will be comfortable, and safe.

The Best Nanny for Your Pup

Pet care experience

I am caring and responsible and detail oriented . I raised an Alaskan Malamute (now 8 years old) from puppyhood I have extensive experience in caring for with all breed , older , special need , special personality (aren't they all special personality anyway ..). Most and above all I deeply care for the animals well being and enrichment. ---- SAFETY & CARE The safety and comfort of your furry friend (s) is my upmost priority. I am extremely careful when I arrive to pick up at the animal house . and triple careful when I am caring for cats. When outside the house , the pup will ALWAYS be leashed up and under my control. I believe that the animal will be safe as long as I have control on them. To achieve this I try and establish trust with the animal immediately upon encountering them. I practice basic commands every day to aid in establishing good comfortable communication with the animal. I am detail oriented, I watch the animal demeanor, attitude a lot. I learnt to notice when they may be shy, social , happy, hyper, scared, upset , belligerent, tired, thirsty hungry etc . I believe in practicing consistent calm, patience, love, respect with the animals. In return, they will rapidly trust my leadership because they will feel safe with me. This method help ensure that their stay with me will be comfortable, and safe. ENVIRONMENT ( for boarding service) I live in a 3 bedroom townhouse. There is no yard but there is an enclosed patio. I work 5 minute’s walk away from my house. I also work from home . My house is very dog friendly as well as my neighborhood A typical routine day for a dog under my care pet care could be - 7AM /8AM- Morning Walk- - 8AM meal #1 - 1 PM/ 2PM- midday Walk - 7PM /8PM Walk before dinner - 8PM meal #2 - 9PM/10PM Walk before bed time I will spend a lot of time playing with , walking, and entertaining your furry friend to make sure he/she is not too sad that you are not here.

Believe the strong reviews! I am confident my pup was well cared for, I got plenty of updates, and came back to a spotless home. She was detail oriented with instructions and easy to reach. She even made some rice and pumpkin when she noticed my pup’s stomach was off. I always get anxious leaving my pup, but would recommend Awa to anyone looking for care. 5 stars!

Awa is the best!!! She treats our dog like she is her own. Awa is the most caring and compassionate person who takes amazing care of our elderly dog who has many health issues and is never “easy” to say the least. We are always able to have peace of mind that our pup is in the absolute best care. Our dog loves her! We would highly recommend Awa and are SO GRATEFUL to have met her.

Awa has always has Enzo so excited when I book her for drop in visits! And she takes care of everything to the point where I don't really need to worry about Enzo getting into something or somewhere he shouldn't, and can guarantee he's had a bathroom break as well as a walk around the neighborhood. Ava has been a savior for some of my last minute plans, be they work or fun (sorry to sometimes literally drop these on you last minute Ava 😞).She communicates constantly throughout the visit and will also bring up anything that seems out of place, just as a double check. I really appreciate this and it's one of the reasons I feel so at ease when she's the one taking him out. Will definitely look to rebook in the future as I need! Thank you so much for the help when
