Hi! I'm Ava, a friendly, dependable, communicative, responsible, honest, ambitious, well-organized, and compassionate individual who has been adoring and connecting with animals all of her life. If you're looking for someone with knowledge, experience, passion, and a huge heart to take care of your loved one(s), look no further.

I grew up and live on a farm north of Charlotte where I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, frogs, horses, goats, chickens, etc. and began pet sitting at the age of 13.

I graduated from Gray Stone Day School in 2019 with 30 college credits from Stanly Community College via dual enrollment. I was a tutor, club treasurer, and captain and varsity member of the cross country and track teams.

I have volunteered with Atrium and Novant Health, working in their Emergency Room and at the Child Development Center, counseled children at various children's camps, tended to bears, owls, raccoons, skunks, chinchillas, venomous snakes, etc. at a small zoo, and served as the receptionist and a bather at an award-winning grooming salon where I was responsible for transactions, scheduling, virtual and in-person exchanges with clients, closing, and more.

I occasionally edit, design graphics, and handwrite for clients and plan to begin cleaning/organizing and photography businesses in the new year to help supplement my pet-sitting income. My ultimate goal is to have a boarding facility of my very own.
