Let your pet be like family to me!

Pet care experience

I have had animals all my life. Most animals take to me very easily. My husband says I'm another dog whisperer. Our previous pet, Maggie, had diabetes. She had it for a little over a year before she passed away. This makes me well versed in the administration of injected medication. I also understand the importance of a very scheduled and portioned feeding plan. We now have another Australian Cattle dog named Coraline. She is 4 years old and loves to have visitors. I have a large fenced I yard . Our visiting pups will be able to go out as much as they like as long as the weather permits. We live in nice neighborhood with good sidewalks. At your discretion we can go on several small walks, play in the yard, and play in the sprinkler in the warm weather. Great care will be taken to respect your wishes when it comes to your loved on.

My guy enjoyed his stay and I had peace of mind knowing he was somewhere safe and cared for while our family was on a trip. Would definitely recommend to others needing care for their fur babies and would book again in the future.

Alaina did a great job watching our Australian Cattle Dog Zeke for a week. This was his first time away and we were very thankful for the recommendation. He’s a young guy and full of energy so it was wonderful to know that he made human & pup friends and was able to play while we were out of town. He came home very happy and exhausted, which made our return a very smooth one. She’ll definitely be our first call when we need a sitter again.

Information Alaina M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they are spayed or neutered, if they are potty trained, and how they are with other dogs and children. Please provide details about any dietary restrictions or allergies. Please include information about any medical conditions, physical disabilities, or medications.

A typical day

This is at the owners discretion. Walking your pet is a great form of exercise. I can take them on as many as 4 walks per day. I am more than happy to play ball, frisbee, or other activities your pet enjoys. If your pet enjoys other people and dogs we can go to the dog park as well. They will always be leashed or harnessed when we are on walks or transitioning from house to car. Safety of your pet is my number one priority.
