Vet assistant & large pack pro!

Pet care experience

Animals truly are my passion and I will make sure your animal feels loved and safe in my care. I have lots of experience with puppies, I have trained 4 of my own in the past few years. As well as I have experience with adult dogs for about 5 years now. I have also worked with sugar gliders, rats, hedgehogs, snakes, raccoons, ferrets, fish and turtles! I have a wide variety of experience with nervous, aggressive, excited, and lazy dogs. There’s not much that will scare me away so please let me know if your dog has any behavior issues, or special needs. I am kind of a nerd about dog training and reading body language, so rest assured I will be able to understand your dog. I also have lots of experience with multi dog households, many of my clients have 3 or more dogs. Many experience conflict or inter-pack aggression and require a close eye to keep the peace. I work closely with a professional dog trainer with my own pups and have lots of education on behavior, and am always learning to navigate new issues with behaviors. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and am starting my career here, and I am over 75% done with my course. I have experience giving animals basic medical care, like administering oral, topical or injectable medications, wound care, and take vitals. I have also had cats my entire life, and am a foster at Cumberland County Animal Shelter and have extensive experience with neonatal kittens/ mama cats and neonatal puppies/ mother dogs. Once I get out of school I plan to continue my dog training education by interning with trusted trainers to get hands on experience!

Alanna did an amazing job with our pets!! We have an extremely shy poodle who’s pretty apprehensive on new people however Kiwi loved her immediately! She seemed so comfortable so fast around Alanna. My Kitty Chowder also loved her. She has experience with giving oral meds and my Chowder has FIC which requires pain meds to fix the problem and Alanna made sure his litter box habits were normal and was comfortable giving him the pains meds if needed which he is NOT good for. Overall I’d highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.

I can’t say enough about Alanna!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She did multiple drop-ins for us over a 6 day period (1 dog, 4 cats). She followed everything in the binder I left her, including extras like feeding the strays that usually come by lol❤️ She sent photos and a summary after each visit to put me at ease bc I’d never done this before. This trip was so much better bc I didn’t have to worry about my fur babies back home!

I’ve asked Alanna to watch my kitties three times now, and she is always awesome. She is very communicative and always sends pictures. I know my kitties are being looked after well, so I don’t have to worry when I’m out of town.

I have 5 of my own kiddos at home, so walks are a frequent thing for me. I feed my dogs complex meals with supplements and medication so I have no issue with preparing raw meals or meals with lots of components. I provide daily enrichment and hands on play with pups (or kitties) to provide mental stimulation and trust with each other. Genuinely entertaining your animal is my goal, however best fits them. I will make sure everything stays as close to normal for them as I know change can be hard.

Information Alanna P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me get an understanding for your dogs behavior so I know what to expect. I completely understand having a reactive or shy dog and would love to offer my assistance that would be a perfect fit for your baby!

A typical day

I am a huge fan of enrichment and mental stimulation to help keep your dogs brain healthy. I also know a variety of games to play to get engagement with your dog. I also like to check out new hiking spots with lots of smells for decompression walks. But also understand a pup that just want to relax and get some love!

I am currently in school, but my classes are online so I am available essentially anytime throughout the day. As a dog mom, I know how hard it can be to find reliable pet care so I’m willing to work with you to find the best times for me to take care of your fur babies!
