About: There’s no better company in this world than that of a good dog! I've been pet-sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors for over a decade, and have extensive personal pet experience as well (of the mostly furry variety). I would love to spend time with your fur babies, and vow to treat them as if they were my own. I have extensive education under my belt to better care for your pet, including classes in dog CPR and first aid (Academy of Canine Educators), Zoo Science (animal enrichment), as well as Dog Emotion & Cognition (Duke University) and Dog Behavior Solutions (ASU). Your busy schedule does not mean your buddy has to be alone all the time! Let me help you give them the love they deserve :)
About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. From lifelong companionship with my own dogs and cats to pet sitting for close friends and family, I know what it takes to keep pets happy and safe at home. I have worked with dogs for a long time, which has taught me strong animal body language skills, patience, and the importance of a strict feeding schedule. I treat every animal I visit with the same dedication I give to my own fur babies. I am available daily, making pet care my top priority. My flexible schedule easily accommodates last minute requests, strict feeding times, and multiple daily drop-ins. I provide dedicated pet care right at your doorstep, ensuring your animals stay safe and relaxed in their own space. I am highly detail oriented and committed to maintaining a secure, familiar routine for your animals. My experience allows me to easily adapt to your pet's specific needs, giving you total peace of mind.
About: I've owned three dogs in the past 20 years. A greyhound (rescue), a border collie/retriever mix (rescue) and a chihuahua.

My primary goal is to maintain the comfort of their familiar routines so they feel safe, secure, and completely at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space as much as I respect your pet, ensuring everything remains clean, secure, and exactly how you left it while sticking strictly to your established household rules.

Very pleased and will definitely be using Avery in the future. Colt can be odd with certain people and can not be by other dogs, super nervous about having a dog walker but Avery made me feel comfortable and relieved. Colt wagged his tail every day when Avery showed up and the walks seemed to go smoothly with no issues!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
