True Care When you Can't Be There

Pet care experience

Hi! My Name is Alahna and I am a college student enrolled at Cal. I love animals and have 13 years of experience caring for dogs. I am also a nationally certified EMT (emergency medical technician. I am fully bilingual in Spanish and English. I am a reliable and responsible person that would love to help in any way possible. As I know that life can be hectic and busy, I would love to care for your dog whenever needed, even if it is last minute. Any special needs are welcomed and play time is always a part of my service. I live in a house with a big fenced in yard that can accommodate your dog for a safe play time if you wish. I am also open to walking them around the Berkeley area, in trails and parks. Rest assured that your pet will get individual attention and love.

My dog & I would like to send a huge thank you to Alahna for taking such great care of my energetic Aussie over the course of this past week! She was superb with communication about everything from our initial meet & greet to the scheduling of our final pick-up & drop-off. Aside from that, Alahna made sure to provide several funny photos & video updates all throughout my Harlem’s Rover Stay. So, it was clear that he was shown lots of kindness, care, and attention while I was away. To sum everything up, we would simply like to say thank you once again! :)

Alahna M. is a very sweet and caring you g woman. She has a warm heart and would embrace a foster pet unconditionally. Alahna is a sincere individual who treats others with great respect. Her caring nature is demonstrated in her position as an emergency medical technician. She has saved lives and has provided emotional support to those in dire emergency situations. Alahna treats people and animals with love and kindness. She would be an outstanding foster parent to any dog. They would be fortunate to be placed in her care. It is without hesitation that I recommend Alahna Merino as a member of your organization. Dr. Kris B.

Happy to provide a testimonial for Alahna. She was always dependent, trustworthy, and caring when it came to my dog. She would ensure my dog was always walked, had play time, kept a full water bowl, and ensured treats and feeding were well timed. There were times when my work schedule got in the way and Alahna stepped in to take care of my dog with little notice. Highly recommended!

Information Alahna M. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences but I would like to know if the dog is friendly with other dogs, if they're allergic to anything and if they take any medications. Three requirements for me to take care of your dog(s) are: 1. Must be on flea preventative and up to date on vaccinations. 2. Must get along with other dogs. 3. Must be house broken.

A typical day

I love yo stimulate dogs mentally and physically through plenty of games during our play time. I love taking them on long walks and to parks in order for them to get plenty of sunshine and exercise.
