A decade of experience!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alana and I have worked with animals for over a decade, beginning in high school. I worked for a veterinary clinic for 10 years until I moved into a different field. Even then, I still missed working with animals and enjoyed it so much that I ran my own animal rescue for 6 years. On top of a full time job, I work part time taking care of other people’s pets because I love it so much! I currently have three dogs in my home, Frank, a chihuahua mix, and Estelle, a Boston terrier mix, and Roxanne (Roxy) a lab/poodle mix. I also have a Maine Coon cat named Lenny who loves my dogs. I have worked with every dog breed out there, from tiny to large and special needs animals. I also consider myself a cat whisperer and reptile enthusiast. Please feel free to ask me any questions!

Alana is so highly recommended. She has dogsat my dog and did a thoroughly professional job. Making sure she was fed, exercised and looked after while I was on vacation. We were in touch daily so my mind was eased. I would recommend Alana for anyone looking for a great, compassionate person to look after your most valuable possession! 😊

If you pick anyone to watch your fur baby's........Alana would be the one I would trust. She has her own rescue and would do whatever it takes to save a dog or any animal for that fact !! I would have no other watch my dogs.....her heart and soul go into saving dogs everyday !! RAS

I treat your pets as if they are part of my family. If I am not home and have to run out, the pet will be separated or crated from my own animals. I follow any instructions you give me to a T. I tend to ask a lot of questions to make sure I know everything about your pet.

Information Alana S. would like to know about your pet

All dogs must get along- mine love all kinds of dogs. No breed restrictions or preferences. Dogs must not be cat aggressive. In rare circumstances, if your pet is aggressive towards my animals, they will be separated and you will be contacted to see if another sitter can cover. This is not only for my pets safety but for your pets as well. Your pets safety is my number one!

A typical day

Lounging, Forest preserve walks, playing with my dogs. Throwing ball in the backyard. Let me know what your pet loves and I will do my best to accommodate.
