Hi, I’m Ava!

I’m a huge animal lover who would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away!

A little about me

Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs and have lots of experience caring for my own pets. I have two dogs, Bert and Kevin, and three cats, Mildred, Bonnie and Frankie, so I know how important it is to understand each animal’s individual personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved.

Bert is very relaxed and loves lying on your lap, while Kevin is full of energy and loves cuddles and playtime. Mildred loves snuggling up in bed, while Bonnie and Frankie enjoy a pat when they’re in the mood! My pets have taught me how important it is to respect animals’ boundaries, be patient with them and let them come to you when they’re comfortable.

Services I offer

Dog walking

I offer 30-minute dog walks, picking your dog up from your home and making sure they get some exercise, fresh air and time to explore. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual walking routine and adjust to their age, energy levels and individual needs.

Home visits

I offer both one home visit a day and two visits a day, depending on what your pets need. Visits can include feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays or other pet areas where needed, playtime, cuddles if they enjoy them, and keeping your pets company. My usual visit length is around 30 minutes, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs.

Overnight stays

I’m also available for overnight stays in your home, giving your pets company and care in their familiar surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routines, make sure they’re fed and comfortable, and give them attention throughout my stay. I understand that some animals feel more settled when someone is there with them, especially overnight.

Happy to care for different animals

While most of my experience so far has been with dogs and cats, I’m also very happy to care for other animals, including rodents, birds, ferrets and other small pets! I’m always willing to learn about different animals and their individual needs, and I’m happy to follow your care instructions to help make sure your pets are comfortable and well looked after.

My availability

I’m available pretty much every day and can be flexible to suit your schedule and your pets’ routines. I’m happy to discuss suitable times for walks, home visits and overnight stays so we can find what works best for everyone.

I’ll always do my best to follow your instructions and keep your pets’ routines as consistent as possible. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe, caring hands while you’re away.

My approach to pet care

To me, animals are so much more than just pets; they’re family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being looked after with genuine love and attention.

I would treat your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means spending extra time playing with them, giving them cuddles if they enjoy them, keeping them company or simply sitting with them so they know someone is there, I’ll always do my best to make them feel comfortable.

I want your pets to feel like they have a friend looking after them, not just someone doing a job.

Keeping you updated

Your pets’ happiness and wellbeing will always be a priority to me, and I’ll care for them with the same patience, gentleness and affection I give my own five pets.

I’m also more than happy to send photo updates and messages while you’re away, so you can see how your pets are going and have peace of mind knowing they’re being well looked after!
