Hi, I’m Alanis — a dependable and energetic medical student with a lifelong love for dogs! Between long study hours and clinical rotations, spending time with animals has become one of the most grounding and rewarding parts of my routine, and I’m excited to offer safe, attentive, and loving care for your pets through Rover. I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs of different breeds, personalities, and energy levels, including my own 3-year-old Australian Shepherd, Marcy, who has taught me the importance of patience, structure, play, and consistency. From high-energy walks and enrichment activities to cuddles on the couch and maintaining routines, I understand that every dog has unique needs and deserves individualized care. As a medical student, responsibility, communication, and attention to detail are deeply ingrained in my daily life. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, organized, and attentive to both safety and comfort. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with frequent messages and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having calm companionship while you’re away, I strive to create a stress-free and positive experience for both pets and owners. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. A few things you can expect when booking with me: - Reliable and responsive communication - Plenty of exercise, play, and affection at my apartment complex’s doggy run and nearby trails at Woodward Park - Respect for your dog’s routine and comfort level since I only accept 1 pet at a time! - Photo and video updates during visits or stays -A calm, trustworthy sitter who genuinely loves animals I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup — and hopefully become someone you can consistently rely on for compassionate, high-quality pet care!🩷🐾
