About: I love animals and have always had a special ability to be patient and gain trust with them. I have always been the person to rely on for training and grooming family and friends pets my whole life. I am stay at home mother. While the kids are in school, I have time for walking and caring for people's pets in your home or mine. I am willing to do a meet and greet with a pet prior to scheduling a walking session or home visit. Exercise is very important for dogs. As for cats they need a little attention too. My home has space for pet guests as well as a large yard for playing. I have time during the day to travel to nearby towns for dog walks or in home check ups.
About: I have always loved animals since I was a child. I always wanted to be a dolphin trainer and a zookeeper when I was little. That is still a dream of mine, but life has thrown me some curveballs, that has changed my goals/steps in life at this moment. I first worked at my first animal clinic job in 2010-2011, my first job ever, when I was a junior in high school. It was one of the best jobs I have ever had. I decided that working at a animal clinic would be the best job for me until I could work at a zoo. My favorite subject in school was science and animal studies. I went to college and got my associate's in science, and got a bachelor's in zoology and general studies, with a minor in psychology and half minor in scuba diving. I then worked at my second animal hospital in 2022-2023. I loved that job so much because I got to work and do so many things with dogs and cats, as well as many other types of pets. I have cleaned kennels and runs. I have cleaned litter boxes. I have fed and gave water to dogs and cats. I have given medication to dogs and cats. I have given shots to cats. I have bathed dogs and cats. I have taken dogs out on walks. I have taken dogs out to potty. I have done fecal matter samples. I have cleaned up fecal matter outside in the yard as well as cleaned messes including fecal matter, urine and vomit. I am a stay-at-home mom, with both kids at school, so I have the flexibility to take care of pets all day from Monday to Sunday allowing for full day of playtime and belly rubs. Dogs are let out first thing in the morning and many times throughout the day. I do have a dog in the house already, but he loves other dogs and could use the company since we have moved from his friend (my mom’s dog). I can easily separate dogs if a friendly connection doesn’t work. I can keep our dog separate. I have a safe outside leash out front and will sit out there while dogs are out. I would love to make this a full-time job. I enjoy being with dogs and cats all the time. I definitely will make your pets feel like they are at home and very loved. I have a nice yard and I have a park at walking distance, and safe and nice neighborhood to walk dogs. I have extra leashes on hand, I have treats as well and doggy bags. I have a friendly dog at home, that gets along with other dogs and cats. I do have a crate if any dog needs to be crated. I have plenty of blankets as well. I have litter boxes all around the house and change them regularly.
“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”

About: I worked at a Vet Clinic for five years where I worked with dogs of all ages. My specialty was senior dogs. I consider myself patient and loving. I’m currently in between being done with my masters degree and looking for a new job with my degree. I’m taking a break between now and then so I have plenty of time to provide services ! I have one dog who is very friendly to other animals. I have one cat who is very independent and will not be a bother to any other friends.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life but within the past 4 years I’ve been dog sitting and taking care of others dogs. I love spending time with dogs and will make sure they are happy and healthy. Walking, brushing, feeding, and even giving medication are all normal things I’ve done while dog sitting. I make sure to communicate well and follow the rules and comments you’ve made for your dog. I want your pet to be as comfortable as possible. :) I currently only work two days a which, those two days do vary week by week. I am a student but my classes are online so I am typically available at short notice if needed. I am more than happy to chat about a schedule that is convenient for you and your pup. I currently have two dogs so I do not offer dog sitting in my home. In your home or even for walks you can expect me to follow all rules, after all this is your dog. Walking, brushing, kenneling, and giving medication if needed are all things I am comfortable with.
