About Alanis M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routine and your instructions closely. Walks, feeding, playtime, meds, and attention are always included. I focus on safety, comfort, and clear communication so your pet stays relaxed while you’re away.
Information Alanis M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any quirks or special/medical needs I can take care of. I feel comfortable working with leash reactivity, stranger danger, or shy/skittish pets. I'm happy to adjust my approach based on their needs.
A typical day
I'm a huge fan of mental stimulation for pets. I love snuffle mats and treat games that make their brains work. I'm a professional fetch player with dogs and wand twirler for cats.

Pets
Shelter-Trained Pet Lover
Pet care experience
I've been an animal lover my entire life. I currently have 3 cats, a dog, and 2 rats. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working in an animal shelter for 3 years. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, including shy, reactive, or high-energy pets. I also love small animals like rats and guinea pigs. I’m trained in reading body language, handling safely, and creating calm, positive experiences for every animal. I have experience with administering medication. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always come first.

Reviews
Consistent, great communicator, very polite and most importantly, my cat loves her! 10/10 would recommend.
Very responsive, easy to communicate with, earned my pets trust and respect. 10/10 would recommend.
I have two very shy cats who usually hide from anyone new, so I was nervous about leaving them while I was out of town. Alanis was incredible. She took the time to move at their pace, speak gently, and let them come to her on their own terms. By the second visit, they were already peeking out to say hello and sniff her hand. She sent thoughtful updates and photos each day, and I could tell she really understood cat behavior and respected their boundaries. I came home to calm, happy kitties and a spotless feeding area.
I work long hours, so finding someone dependable to walk my dogs during the week was really important. Alanis has been an absolute lifesaver. One of my dogs is a big, high-energy goofball who can be a handful on leash, but Alanis handled him with total confidence from day one. She knows exactly how to channel his energy in a safe, positive way, and he comes home happy, tired, and so much more relaxed. My smaller dog adores her too, and it’s clear both of them look forward to their walks with her. Alanis is always on time, super communicative, and treats my dogs like they’re her own. I trust her completely, and I’m so grateful to have someone so capable and caring helping with their routine.
