Your dog's next best friend!
Pet care experience
I've lived with dogs my whole life, from puppies in the earliest stages of training to seniors who just need some love. In addition to my family's own Labs, Goldens, and mutts, I've also volunteered with a sled dog kennel, where I regularly fed, watered, and cared for 60 working dogs with varying personalities. I have lots of experience walking, running, and hiking with dogs, including large dogs that get overexcited and pull on the leash and even dogs with aggressive tendencies that need extra attention.
Reviews
Alana has spent her entire life loving and caring for animals, especially dogs. She especially enjoys walking or running with a dog and would be a great exercise buddy. Alana is also reliable and responsible and follows through on commitments. You can be sure your furry friends are in the best hands when in Alana's care.
I highly recommend Alana as a pet caregiver– she is a thoughtful and kind individual who cares deeply about people and animals alike. I have been with Alana as she has cared for dogs of all kinds, and it is clear that she is particularly knowledgeable about canine care. For example, I accompanied her when she was feeding 60+ dogs for a dog sled team (a weekly occurrence), and she was not only familiar with each face but knew the precise care and feeding routine for each dog. She is a responsible adult with years of pet care under her belt, and I would highly recommend her as a courteous caregiver for your pet.
About Alana L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I would love to take your dog for safe, leashed, outdoor adventures: anything from long trail runs to slow strolls around the neighborhood, depending on your dog's needs, age, and energy level. I am also able to provide punctual and thorough house visits if you just need someone to make sure your dog has plenty of food, water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and of course, love and attention while you are away.
Information Alana L. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know if your dog has any behaviors or tendencies I should be aware of: any history of aggression towards people or other dogs, for example, or running away while on a walk.
A typical day
I'm used to exercising dogs with lots of energy, and I can promise your dog will be tired out when I'm finished! Hikes up South Table, long runs down Clear Creek Canyon, or playtime in the yard with a tennis ball are all possible options. I can even drive your dog in my car to a nearby trailhead if he/she is up for the adventure. If your dog is the lower energy kind, we'll explore all the best smells around the neighborhood and have lots of cuddle time.

Availability
I currently work a part-time remote job with flexible hours, so I have plenty of availability during the weekdays to check in on your pup while you're at work.
