Outstanding Pet Sitter – Highly Recommended! I can’t say enough good things about Alana! Tommy got so much love and amazing care while we were gone for a week. Our vacation was so much more relaxing knowing that our senior doggie was in such good hands. We loved getting the daily updates and pictures of him too! Thank you!! .

Alana and her husband were so amazing to Sadie! Sadie is normally a little timid at first but when I picked her up she didn’t want to go! She had a great time and I would definitely recommend Alana to anyone in the future. Her and her husband are total dog people!!

I’m very cautious about who I leave my dog Oliver with, this was only the second time I’ve ever used a Rover for Oliver, so I was nervous. But Alana was absolutely amazing! 💛 She made me feel completely at ease right from the start. She’s super friendly, sent me regular updates and the sweetest photos, and I could tell Oliver felt right at home. I honestly felt so comfortable knowing he was in her care. I will definitely be booking with Alana again, she’s a true gem!

Safety, trust & environment

I specialize in 1-on-1 care for small dogs under 25 lbs, offering a calm environment that feels like home but with five star attention. Your dog will always be supervised and never crated unless requested. I typically only care for one dog guest or dog family at a time, ensuring your fur baby receives my full presence and gentle energy at all times. My peaceful, temperature controlled home features cozy dog beds, comfy furniture, crate options (if your pup prefers), and soft rug and wood floors. For outdoor fun, your dog will enjoy a private, double fenced, turfed, fully enclosed backyard with shady mature trees, sunny spots for lounging, and multiple fresh water stations. We also take relaxing, leashed walks around our quiet, scenic neighborhood. I’m up from dawn until midnight, and your pup will never be left alone. My husband also works from home and offers an extra set of caring hands when needed. Whether you’re away for an hour, a day, or an extended trip, you’ll have total peace of mind knowing your dog is cared for like a cherished family member, with nurturing detail oriented, and loving attention.
