Alisha took wonderful care of our precious girls (a cat & a dog - little girls who are rather high maintenance 😊), and our home. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and she provides excellent care! We will definitely be utilizing Alisha's services in the future when we plan trips away from home!

We were away for 8 nights and felt comfortable the entire time because our dogs were in good hands. Chris was a great communicator, followed the schedule, and did a great job taking care of our 2 high energy, sometimes high stress dogs. One of our dogs has significant fear during storms, and Chris did a nice job handling that and providing reassurance.

About: I have cared for (and been cared for myself by) animals of every shape, size, personality, and level of care. I’m currently working retail on Main Street in Galena. Days off are Monday-Wednesday, and I will be available for check-ins or overnight stays any other day as well with notice (generally work 6-8 hr shifts) I am a respectful guest in your animal’s home, and will make sure to follow instructions and ask for clarification about their personal rituals and routines. I’m picky about my boys and their care when leaving them with a “stranger”- so you don’t have to feel crazy if you need constant check-ins (I GET IT, and I also take excellent photos 😊). I will likely ask many questions to ensure everyone’s as comfortable as possible. I know my boys turn into nervous wrecks when they sense I’m packing- and so do I!

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a young child & doggos have always been a special part of my life! They become important family members who give & get the unconditional love we all deserve! It’s hard some times when life takes us away from home & our doggies for longer than we’d like. Exactly the reason I would be the perfect person to love, snuggle, take care of & give your dogs the attention they want and need while you’re away or busy! puppers will always be able to depend on seeing my kind face and caring hand at times like these. Just as they support our emotional needs on a daily basis, I have come to love returning the small favor for them! I am home full time & dedicate my day to taking care of my kids, my doggo, my 2 docile kittens & my household. My time is not limited. My kids and I love to take walks with the dog, go to local dog parks occasionally when they are empty & clean, & play fetch in our large, clean yard!

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.
