While I work full-time, I have the flexibility of working from home — which means I can easily step away throughout the day to tend to your pet's needs. I'm available for check-ins and care during the early morning, midday, and evening, and if your pet thrives on consistent company, I'm happy to work out of your home so they're never left alone for long.

Safety, trust & environment

I pride myself on following instructions carefully and will always keep you in the loop if any questions or concerns arise during our time together. Above all, your pet's comfort is my priority — before anything else, I take the time to understand their unique needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide the best care possible. Every pet is different, and I'm happy to adapt my approach accordingly. Got an energetic pup who lives for long walks and belly rubs? I'm all in. Have a shy or sensitive pet who needs a calm, quiet environment to feel safe? I'll match their energy and give them the gentle, patient care they need to feel at ease.

Information Alanna R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any specific needs your pet requires. The more information the better so I can be sure to address their needs appropriately and make them feel at home and comfortable. Please also let me know if your pet has any issues with other dogs/cats or humans or is aggressive or easily stressed in certain environments or situations.

A typical day

Play time with their favorite toys, sensory games to allow for independent play time and long petting sessions. I can also brush them if that is something they enjoy or something that the client would like me to do.

Pet care experience

I am responsive and communicative, which helps alleviate any unnecessary anxieties while I am taking care of your dog. I have experience working with dogs of all ages and of all different sizes. I work hard to address any particular needs that your dog or cat may have.

Alanna was so great with my anxious dog Roux. She knew what to do to make her feel comfortable. Thank you Alanna!

Alanna and our lab hit it off. Alanna was patient with Maple and is very trustworthy.

Lovely, courteous, complimentary to our pup (who doesn't love a dogsitter that identifies and praises all our dog's best features?!?), and a really good sport hanging out with Calcifer on a muggy, hot, tick-filled day. Thanks!
