Information alanya j. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time—like medical conditions, feeding instructions, training rules, or quirks that make them unique. This helps me give the best care and keep them feeling safe and happy.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged with fun activities like walks, playtime with their favorite toys, training games to challenge their minds, and plenty of cuddle time. I always match the activities to each pet’s age, energy level, and personality so they have the best time while in my care.

Alanya is so professional and took great care of my dog Charlie while I left on a trip. She stayed in communication and sent pictures of my Charlie happy as can be. Highly recommended!

She was absolutely outstanding with my dog! She went above and beyond, kept me posted with updates, and my dog adored her. It’s such a relief finding someone i could fully trust with my boy. 10/10 recommend.

Alanya and her pup aurora were awesome. My rotty Sasha boarded with them for a few days while my wife and I were away. We are new to the area and needed a new sitter that we could trust and they did not disappoint. She did an awesome job at caring for Sasha. Constantly updating us with pictures and even a little training to help us out when she returned to us. I definitely recommend Alanya if you need any help with your pup at any point.
