About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !
“Karin Sue and Danny were wonderful to my Rosie! They had toys, a huge backyard and spent a lot of time with her. This was her first time being boarded and I would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you for being such wonderful caretakers!”
“Caroline was very accommodating and communicative from beginning to end. Our girl, Lucy, enjoyed herself and made a friend too. Don’t hesitate to book with her.”
“Amy did a wonderful job looking after our Beagle, Harvey for an extended weekend away. She was particularly good at giving us updates on how the dogs were doing throughout the weekend”
“Jacy was great. Sonny had a great couple days staying with Jacy and we’ve already booked his next stay. Sonny told me he’s super excited to go play with his new friends again”
About: Hello! I am a 32 year old dog enthusiast! As an adult with Autism, connecting with Pets has been incredibly natural and rewarding! I have been a dog-parent for four years. I have also helped care for my wife’s senior childhood dog. My wife has 10+ years experience as a Client Care Representative in Veterinary Medicine. I have a passion for dog walking, dog obedience training and dog adventures (like hiking and paddle boarding). I have a flexible work schedule (WFH 3x/week) and would love to be the one you trust to care for your lovely pets! I am a rule follower, reliable and dedicated to the wellbeing and happiness of all animals. I work from home Monday, Thursday and Friday so I am available for drop in dog walks. I have availability on weekends as well. On Tuesday and Thursday, I am available in the morning and the evenings. I have job flexibility during the day, so I can make most times work depending on the day. I strictly adhere to your care standards — I can take your pets on walks, play with them outside, or however your pup likes to engage most! I can crate upon leaving, etc. My dog also has his own bedroom, with a toddler bed, which has been “baby-proofed”, if you prefer a controlled space bigger than a crate. I have a fenced in backyard, as well.
“Franny had the BEST time. Kailee and her kids were so incredibly sweet with our puppy, and they were so welcoming and accommodating to her young puppy needs. 10/10 recommend! Franny absolutely loved their huge backyard too.”
“Amy took care of my fur baby so well!!!! She made him comfortable and happy during his stay. I loved the updates and pictures she sent. I could tell he was being spoiled! My pup will be very excited for his next visit with her!”

95% of sitters in Alto can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alto home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alto.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Alto sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
