Pet care experience

Happy Paws, Happy Walks! 🐕

I've been caring for animals all my life, and will work hard to make sure that your pets are safe and healthy! My primary goals as a sitter are: provide clear communication with clients while they are away, and to create an environment in which my clients feel safe leaving their pet in my hands. It's important to me that I provide the same level of care for your pet as I would my own. I have extremely good attention to detail, so I tend to notice slight changes in animal behavior that could be indicative of an issue. I also do dog walking. One of the big things I try to do is make sure that there are no encounters with other dogs (even if everyone is friendly), as I want to avoid any potential incidents. My #1 priority is the safety of your furry friend, so I won't do anything that could potentially jeopardize that. Depending on the needs of your dog, I can provide a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous run.

Our gang always love it when Ailene comes to visit. I feel very comfortable knowing I'm leaving them Ailene to look after them.

Safety, trust & environment

For doggy daycare at my home, your pup will have plenty of space to play! I have a huge backyard where they can run around and enjoy the day, and I’m happy to set up fun activities like a game of fetch. I only take one dog at a time for daycare, so you don’t have to worry about other pets—just a safe, fun environment for your furry friend. Plus, my small corgi would love a new playmate! I also take dogs on walks along the beautiful golf cart trails. Whether your pup needs a high-energy walk to burn off some excitement or a slow, sniff-filled stroll to take in the world, I’ll tailor the walk to their needs. If you’d prefer playtime in your own backyard instead, I’m happy to do that too!

Pets

A typical day

For dogs staying at my home, they’ll have full access to my spacious, enclosed backyard to run, play, and explore! I have a pup of my own, so if you're comfortable with them meeting, they can patrol the yard together like best buddies. During doggy daycare, I make sure to keep things fun and engaging—I’ll play ball or fetch with them every three hours to keep them active and happy. Since I work from home all day, I’m always around to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re safe and well cared for! For cats, I’ll check in on them every hour to make sure they’re comfortable—but don’t worry, if they’re peacefully napping, I’ll let them be! If they’re awake and feeling playful, I have plenty of fun toys to keep them entertained, including the almighty feather duster and a collection of ribbon toys for some exciting playtime!

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Ailene can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know if there's anything unique about your pet’s behavior or any anxiety they might have—I want to make sure they feel as comfortable and happy as possible! I typically work with small to medium-sized dogs, but for doggy daycare, I welcome pups of all sizes. I’m happy to provide walks for large breeds, but since I’m a smaller person, I can only accommodate those that are well-trained on a leash—otherwise, they might end up walking me instead! ?
