Fur Babies Come First!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alana! Fur babies come first in my home! I have had 5 golden retrievers as family pets over the years and have always had a heavy hand in their care, training & nurturing! In high school and college, I volunteered with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and assisted puppy raisers in the training and raising of the potential guide dogs. When your pet stays with me, I will, of course, follow any guidelines and rules you have in place with them in your home, but I will make sure they are treated like the princes and princesses that they are! I allow them free reign of the house (again within your home rules), I have a wonderful neighborhood with a park close by for walks & play time! My yard is fully fenced-in for easy in & out. I will keep them safe, active & healthy. Snuggles on the furniture are absolutely welcome and encouraged! If you need me for just a couple walks a day, I will greet your little baby (big & old pups are babies, too) with a smile and friendly approach to make sure they are comfortable. I can do whatever is needed - a walk, some outside play time, fresh water/food as required, but most importantly a little midday lovin! I have an SUV that can be ready for all sized puppers! I am confident, mature, and experienced in safe pet care. I'm excited to meet you!

Alana and Freddy are absolutely amazing. My puppy has the best time while she is there. I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with her while I’m gone. She takes such great care of my puppy and keeps me updated with frequent pictures the whole time.

Highly recommend Alana to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog! My dog was so happy there and loved playing with her sweetheart of a pup Freddy! It is so nice to be able to go away and know your dog is in good hands, will definitely continue booking with her in the future!

Alana took amazing care of our Grizzly! If you're worried about leaving your fur-child with a dog sitter, like I was, worry no longer. We will definitely book with Alana any time we have to leave town again. I highly recommend her.

Information Alana A. would like to know about your pet

Please be thorough in your description of their needs. I am happy to do whatever is needed, so don't hesitate to give even minor details regarding feeding/potty/sleeping habits, walking/playtime needs, allowed treats (including people food), if they like/dislike car rides and any other rules you have at home! I love all dogs, I do not judge and I am not afraid of big or little animals. I would always take your knowledge and advice on how to best make your fur baby feel as comfortable as possible! I want them to trust and love me while they can't be with their families!

A typical day

I live in a small neighborhood that is perfect for long or short walks, but also very close to parks for some outside enjoyment! With your permission & depending on the length of the stay, my family has a home in the 1000 Islands where dogs can be dogs! There are safe & fun places to run, play, swim, and eventually nap!
