Pre-vet gal loves your critters!
Pet care experience
I am available ASAP for work throughout the day as I work mostly from home on my graduate school thesis in Neuroscience! I majored in Behavioral Neuroscience at WWU and double minored in Psychology and Chemistry. I have worked with Chuckanut Valley Veterinary Clinics in Bellingham WA which included kennel care, surgical shadowing and cat and dog socializing. I have a lifelong love of all animals and am working toward a career in animal or healthcare science. I was raised with animals including 5 cats and lived with an elderly dog, Shayna, and whom I provided senior doggie-care for. I was Co-President for the Dog Club and led dog walks and dog training afternoons with student dog owners.
Reviews
Aliza arrived on time and gave us updates and with pictures and communicated with us about canela and any other questions she had and came home to a happy dog
If Rover allowed a 10 star rating, my wife and I would give her an 11 for the exceptional care she provided for our fur babies while we were away on vacation. She met us twice before she stayed in our house to go over routines and to met our dog and cat. She humored all of the quirky things our boys do every day and she kept them in very good company. We could tell by the pictures and videos she sent that they were enjoying their time with her and they hardly missed us. It was very reassuring to know that Aliza, with her interest in becoming a vet, would be in tune with what their needs were, with walking, to feeding, and all of the love and attention they demand. I hope we can utilize her services again in the future and highly recommend her to other families. We can't thank her enough for giving us peace of mind while we were away.
Aliza was GREAT! She responded to my request in a very timely fashion, unlike another 5 star sitter! She was punctual to the meet and greet and made an immediate connection to my pets. While we were away, she sent darling photos and warm comments about the pets which we so appreciated as we have an elderly dog who needs special attention. She left our home very tidy and even stripped the bed. We could tell when we arrived home that the pets had been very well cared for as they were not at all needy. I would highly recommend Aliza for your KIrkland/Juanita pet sitting needs. Jan T
Aliza is a stellar dog-sitter. She took time to ask us questions about our dog, Moe, and made sure that she had all the details correct to help make Moe as comfortable as possible. Moe is a senior dog and can be finicky. Aliza took it all in stride and was happy to help Moe during her stay. Aliza sent us such happy Moe-updates during our trip, like when she took Moe to the park or when he was enjoying a walk. It made us feel very comfortable about having her stay in our home with our pup. Aliza also took care to make sure the house was cleaned up and ready for our return. We would highly recommend Aliza!!
About Aliza B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While the critters will have a ton of fun with me, I also value consistency, positive reward training, and safety (amongst animal cohort, and with humans/children etc.) I am aware and keen on knowing these animal boundaries and reading the animal's body language. Just like humans, sometimes we just need a bit of space, calm, and structure!
Information Aliza B. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences however I would like to know the training level of the dog and how they respond to various stimuli (other dogs, children, other animals, being touched by other humans etc). I would also like to know the general outline of their days with the owner so as to emulate that schedule as much as possible. I would also like to know the size of the dog.
A typical day
I love going to the waterfronts around Seattle or other beautiful locations. I also think it is highly important to socialize dogs (of course with the owners permission) so I would take your dog to dog parks and public parks. I would love to throw balls and roll around and have fun with them. I hope to get their heart rate up and keep them healthy, happy and ready for a nap at the end of the day.

Availability
I am flexible with my schedule and can accomodate most work times/needs. I have a car for transportation. Pet care and health is as important as animal socialization, when we meet to discuss the animal services I will provide, I think it is crucial to discuss any specialized needs the animals may need.
