Pet care experience

Dogs are family with fur.

Hi there! I’m Awia, and I’ve had around 25 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs and cats, and I currently have a sweet Pekingese named Peking along with two cats, Lolli and Ashley. They’re all friendly, gentle, and used to having new furry friends around. I’ve also volunteered walking dogs at various animal shelters over the years—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I also have six wonderful children who absolutely adore animals. They’re gentle, respectful, and regularly nominated for Kindness Awards at their school. Your pet will receive extra love, attention, and cuddle sessions from them—helping your furry family member feel right at home.

Awia was absolutely amazing! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in learning about Rumi and his routine. She even followed up afterward with a thoughtful message letting me know she was looking forward to caring for him and would take great care of him—which she absolutely did. While I was away, Awia provided regular updates, including texts and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She was communicative, reliable, and respectful of my home, making her an exceptional sitter and house guest. It was clear that Rumi was in great hands the entire time. I highly recommend Awia and would not hesitate to book with her again!

Awia is fantastic. Very considerate of our home and a warm and loving caretaker for our three dogs and bearded dragon! Sent pictures regularly and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing everyone was in good hands. She is unflappable. We will definitely hire her again!

Schedule

I’m currently working on my nonprofit organization, and during my downtime I’ve chosen to walk dogs and care for animals. It’s such a fun and rewarding way to spend the day—you get to hang out with adorable pups, enjoy some exercise, and soak up the sunshine.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pets. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m fortunate to live within a beautiful nature preserve and park system. This means your pup can enjoy walks along scenic, well-maintained paths with plenty of fresh air and minimal street traffic. If boarding, I’ll make sure your dog gets regular, safe walks and plenty of attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. All of my personal pets—Peking, Lolli, and Ashley—are up to date on vaccinations, and are on flea and heartworm prevention medication. For the safety and comfort of all animals, I kindly ask that visiting pets are also clean and flea-free. If a pet arrives needing a bath, I’m happy to provide one, and a pet bath fee will be added to your booking. This ensures a fresh, healthy, and pleasant environment for everyone.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with your pup includes walks through my quiet neighborhood, games that keep them engaged, and time to relax. We’ll explore new scents, visit local parks, and enjoy plenty of affection. I balance activity with calm downtime so your dog feels happy, safe, and loved throughout the day.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, quirks, or behaviors so I can adjust their care accordingly. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, but I like to know in advance about any medical conditions, allergies, or routines that are important. Communication helps me provide the best experience possible.
