Fun and trustworthy dog sitter!
Pet care experience
I’ve always loved dogs and knew I wanted to work with them in the future. I have volunteered at local shelters since I was in high school. Now, Ive been working at a dog daycare for almost three years. I also take shelter dogs to training every week to help them find their homes! I treat every dog I work with as my own. I would love to have fun with your dog or just keep them company for a while! Also open to other pets. I have experience with deaf, blind, disabled, and senior dogs as well as administering medications.
Reviews
Amazing sitter! Super responsive, provided daily photos and updates, and took amazing care of Connor. He's normally stressed when we return from a trip and he was happy as can be. Her little one (Peanut) was also a delight. Alana also left the house spotless. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
I recommend Alana because she is the best pet caregiver I know! She is responsible and loving to all pets. She is amazing with dogs and takes care of my cute little puppy very well. She is like a dog whisperer. There is no one far more reliable, credible, knowledgable in taking care of pets than Alana. I know I am putting my puppy in very good hands and makes me have one less thing to worry about when I'm out.
Me and my furry baby Winter loves Alana! She watches her while I go on business trips and Winter loves her. She makes sure that Winter is walked multiple times a day, entertained, and keeps up with her daily activities so she doesn’t miss a beat while I am gone. She treats Winter like her own and is so loving to her. Me and Winter have had our fair share of pet sitters but we have found my permanent friend with Alana!
Alana is a great dog parent. Her passion for dogs goes further than just man's best friend. She gives them the love, support, and attention they need. Dogs want to be loved, too, and Alana gives them that kind of love and more. I love watching Alana interact with the dogs and teaching them tricks. Alana is absolutely amazing.
About Alana W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as my own. That includes proper care, exercise, enrichment, as well as first aid and medication if needed. I will follow whatever directions you leave for your dog while in my care. I also bring plenty of treats with me during my visit so let me know if they have any restrictions.
Information Alana W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know any special needs your dog has including food allergies, illnesses, and detailed feeding and medication instructions. Please also include information about your dog’s personality and any past experiences that would be helpful for me to know. Please be as transparent with me as possible so everyone can remain safe. *all will require a prior meet and greet
A typical day
I typically go to school for a few hours a day, then I am free to spend the rest of the day with your pups doing whatever they please. We go on potty breaks and have play and/or cuddle time in the evenings. I can also them drop off at daycare if they are close to your home. I can even bring puzzles and treats with owner approval! If I leave to go somewhere during housesitting bookings I can bring your pet along with owner approval. Or we can sit in a nearby park for a while if the weather is nice.

Availability
Currently in college and working part time, but I still have plenty of time to spend with your pup. I love to include my guests in my plans and outings while housesitting, but I am also more than happy to stay home and relax with them. I also take lots of pictures and can send check-ins throughout the day upon request. Feel free to ask about my work/school schedule when booking. *If housesitting I may have to bring my own dog, so your dog must be tolerant of another small dog.
