The ZooKeeper🦎🐾

Hi, I’m Aaliyah! You can look me up on Google Aaliyah’s Dobies and check out my reviews😉 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up raising and showing rabbits and chickens through 4-H and have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small mammals, and farm animals. You name it, I either have it or love it. I am a dog breeder and have hands-on experience caring for newborn puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs. I’ve also interned at veterinary offices, volunteered at animal shelters, and helped rescue, foster, and socialize kittens for adoption. In addition to caring for healthy pets, I have extensive experience with orphaned, injured, and medically fragile animals. My background includes caring for bottle babies, syringe feeding, tube feeding, administering subcutaneous fluids, deworming, parasite treatment, basic wound care, and supporting animals through illness and recovery. I have also worked with feral kittens, helping them learn to trust people and transition into loving homes. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I will tailor their care to their individual needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide a stress-free experience while you’re away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable care that gives owners peace of mind. BOARDING REQUIREMENTS Before booking, I ask that all dogs be up-to-date on their vaccines and current on flea and tick prevention. Please make sure your dog’s Rover profile is fully completed so I can provide the best care possible. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are friendly and do well around other dogs. If your dog is selective, reactive, or has shown aggression toward other animals, my home may not be the best fit. For your dog’s stay, please bring their food, vaccination records, and any medications they may need along with clear instructions. If your dog requires a crate for sleeping or when left alone, please bring one, as I do not currently provide crates. You’re welcome to bring a favorite bed or blanket to help your dog feel more at home, although I have plenty of beds and blankets available. You do not need to bring bowls unless your dog uses a slow feeder or a special bowl. I recommend leaving favorite toys or valuable items at home. Dogs love to play, and toys can sometimes get worn out or misplaced. Don’t worry though—I have plenty of toys and enrichment activities to keep everyone entertained! My goal is to make your dog’s stay as safe, comfortable, and fun as possible while giving you peace of mind when you’re away.

Aaliyah was great! She treated Buck like he was one of her own dogs, he looked very happy in every picture/video I received during his stay with Aaliyah!

Aaliyah was amazing to work with! She took our dog for 8 days with short notice. When our dog caused difficulty she went above and beyond to be able to continue taking care of him. She sent pictures and videos, and our dog Sushi came home happy and healthy. Will definitely book with her again.

Aaliyah was fantastic with Oliver! She was reliable, caring, and even took the time to administer his insulin properly each time that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Oliver was happy, healthy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend Aaliyah to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter, especially for pets with medical needs or in general!

Aaliyah watched our 9 month old golden retriever while we were gone for a week. This was the first time leaving our dog and she took such good care of him! Charlie absolutely loved her (& she loved him) and her other dogs. We got lots of photos, videos, and status updates on how Charlie was everyday. We will definitely be rebooking Aaliyah the next time we go out of town!!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, exercise, and affection while maintaining the safety standards and instructions provided by each owner. If your pet has temperamental issues I’m happy to crate and rotate so they have individual time and I also have a building for boarding.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, walks, enrichment activities, and lots of love and attention. Depending on your pet’s energy level and preferences, we may enjoy walks, fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, training reinforcement, cuddle sessions, or simply relaxing together. I tailor each day to your pet’s individual personality and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and happy.

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, allergies, medications, dietary restrictions, behavioral quirks, fears, favorite activities, and any special needs.

The more I know about your pet, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience.
