“My puppy Kona absolutely adores Alice. She has the best set up with a huge fenced in yard and Kona loves getting to play with other dogs! She gets excited as soon as we get in Alice’s neighborhood which is the best compliment I think she can give. Alice is by far the best Rover we’ve ever had and she’ll be hard to live up to if we ever move out of the area. I can’t say enough good things. We love you Alice!! 🐾”

I’m very patient, and my home has a large, secure space where your dog can run and play freely.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, whether it’s within my own family or taking care of a friend’s pet. I’m very attentive to what your dog needs, from food preferences, walks, playtime, and every other part of their routines. Need me to pretend your dog’s food is “fresh from the oven” so they’ll actually eat it? Been there! Need me to ensure they get to roll in the grass x number of times on their walk? Been there too! I will ensure your dog feels as safe and as close to home as possible when they’re with me, and I’ll provide as many updates as you need! I work from home, so I’ll be with your pet every moment!

Outdoor time and walks is based on your requests! If your dog is comfortable with dog parks, I’m happy to bring them to any of the nearby dog parks for playtime. If you have a pup that needs more space, I know plenty of quiet, shaded spots for walks. In my own home, I’m fine with them on the couch or bed unless that’s something you don’t want them to do - any rules you follow in your own home will be followed at both mine and yours.
