Accepting Of All Furry Friends!

Hi! I’m Alana 😊 I provide reliable, attentive care so your pet can stay comfortable while you’re away. I started volunteering at a humane society in middle school and later gained hands-on experience shadowing veterinary technicians at IndyVet. This helped me learn how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, pit bulls, cats, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets and personalities. I now have three miniature dachshunds of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own!

Safety, trust & environment

Because I have three dogs of my own, I prefer to have your dogs come to my home for overnight sitting. I understand how important our furry friends are and how difficult it can be to be away from them. That’s why I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time. Knowing their routines, preferences, and personality helps me create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away.

Alana and her boyfriend did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs, Molly and Leroy. Alana is responsive in her communication and her calm demeanor was perfect for our pups. We will definitely re-book with her!

Alana did an amazing job taking care of my cat. Alana has cats which made me feel even more good knowing my cat was in good hands. Alana was communicative and very accommodating which I appreciated! Will definitely book again!

Alana has looked over my two cats and my dads three dogs while we were away on a family vacation for two weeks. Each time she has pet sitted for us, she has always kept our houses looking clean, gives our pets so much love and attention, and makes sure they get enough play time. She always sends update pictures each day you’re away and is very easy to get ahold of in the event that you need to contact her for any reason at all while you’re away. I would recommend her to any of my friends!

I’m happy to care for dogs of all kinds! There are just a few helpful things I like to know beforehand to make sure your pup has the best and safest experience possible. For larger dogs, I do best with pups who are fairly comfortable on leash so I can ensure safe, enjoyable walks. It’s also important for me to know if your dog is reactive to cars, tends to chase small animals, or has any challenges around other dogs so I can plan safe and comfortable outings. I also like to learn your pet’s daily routine; Everything from how much they eat to when they’re used to walks or potty breaks. Keeping their routine consistent helps them feel more at ease while you’re away!
