I’m currently preparing to start online school for my Bachelors to start my path of becoming a Family Law Attorney. I have one dog named Bentley, who is a Yorkie mix that lives with me as a full time family member. I am able to take care of pets during the day because I’m currently home most of the day. I will sometimes have quick doctor’s appointments or errands to run, but I am usually not gone long.

Safety, trust & environment

I have one dog at home named Bentley who is a 10 year old Yorkie mix who loves all humans, plants, animals, and all things possible. He is very friendly with other pets, children, and adults. I am able to let the pet run free around the house or I have a cage that can give the pet security depending on your needs. I also have a children’s gate to make them their own space in the house if that gives them comfort as well. I’m great with making sure I communicate you and your pets needs throughout.

Information Alani A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or anything else important that I can take note of beforehand if possible, so that I can make sure I tend to their needs. I am great at communicating about feeding, walking, or other needs to be able to make sure that you have no worries at all while I am with them.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs brain with physical activities and mental activities. I love to take dogs on walks to get fresh air and adventures if they like to run errands. If your dog loves to relax, I can offer loving snuggles and belly rubs for the dogs who love those. Your pet will be loved and cared for in this loving and accepting home for all pet family members.

Pet care experience

Growing up my family had 6 dogs, 2 hamsters, 2 gerbils, and 1 guinea pig at different times. I learned to care for them all in ways they each needed care. As I got to be an adult I’ve had 1 dog and 1 cat of my own and have had the pleasure to care for others peoples pets. Every pet has a spot in my heart and all pets will get treated like family. I have experience in feeding, entertaining, walking, bathing, giving medications, and learning their personalities. I make sure I communicate with all pet parents to give reassurance that their pets are being shown constant love, attention, and care.

Alani took excellent care of my dog. Lunar received not just care but love from her sitter. I am so happy I selected Alani as sitter and will be doing so again in the future when needed

Thank you Alani for taking care of Kai while we were away. It made us less worried knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely recommend and rebook!

Alani took care of Raz for 2 nights while I was in Durham. She was super nice and friendly and communicated well. She texted me updates on how he was doing and posted a bunch of photos to the gallery, which was really above and beyond for such a short stay. Raz seemed happy and well taken care of. I would book with Alani again!
