Highlights
Pet care experience
Lover of all pets!
I love all critters! My favorites are dogs who look like they ran into the wall- I have extra experience with flat-faced breeds and am well aware of their temperature needs. Cats have been a long time companion. We have had pets my entire life, and I house sat extensively in college, including taking care of a delightful Corgi, several farm dogs, a pair of horses, a herd of ornery and hilarious goats, a flock of chickens, and a surprisingly cuddly bearded dragon. When your pet is in my care you can expect them to be loved: all the scratches, walks, and cuddles they could want. I am more than happy to throw a ball, scratch a head, or simple sit and tell your pet about life. Due to allergies, I cannot care for rabbits or ferrets.

Ratings and reviews
Great communication and daily photos and videos!
Bella our pitbull loved being there and was tired from playing with her cats and dogs.
Our medium size dog had a good overnight stay. She seemed to warm up to the new surroundings and pets quickly especially getting attention from A’Lana’s young daughter and was able to sleep part of the night in her bed. A’Lana is very friendly and I could tell she loves pets and so graciously worked with us for a last minute stay.
We left our cocker spaniel with A’Lana for an overnight stay recently and Remy had a wonderful time! We will definitely use A’Lana again for any of our sitting needs.
A'Lana took great care our Copper. She frequently sent us messages and/or pictures describing Copper's activity during his long stay with her. We could tell he was getting lots of attention and felt loved. Definitely, will book again in the future.
Great communication during the time Bodie stayed with A’Lana. He came home exhausted and happy, so I know he had a great time playing with their other pets.

Schedule
During the school year, I work 7:30-3:15 each day, but clients inside Garden City limits can be let outside during those hours. On breaks from school, I am available nearly all day as I am a homebody.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In your home, your pet is my number one focus. I will ask questions about your routine so they can have an experience that comes as close as possible to having you at home. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is your animals have a routine close to their normal one when you are away! When in my home, your furry companion is part of our family. They can get on the couch to watch movies, take a snooze on a bed, or run their zoomies out in the backyard (currently being made into a doggie playground). We tend to be home most of the time we aren’t in school, so your pet will get plenty of time with us. In the summer, we take frequent but short bathroom breaks, and water is readily available. Our central air conditioning as well as a flow of fans keep the house a cool haven. When we’re in the house, my dog-savvy daughter provides extra pets and snuggles. Her favorite thing is to curl up and read with pets. My own dogs love to play and will welcome your dog into their pack with enthusiasm. Guest cats have their run of the basement where dogs cannot go. Cats are welcome upstairs based on their comfort level. I have a cat door in the door that separates the floors, so they can choose.
Pets
A typical day
My daughter and I enjoy playing fetch or other games with your dog. We’re also happy to curl up and watch a movie when the weather isn’t great. We get up and let everyone outside to potty, and feed breakfasts. Dogs are inside in their normal routine (crate or loose). I typically run home during lunch and let everyone outside. After school we are normally home about 4:00 pm. In the evenings, dogs get to run around and get all the loves they might want.
