My family and I have always had multiple dogs raised from puppies to full grown dogs that I helped to care for. This includes walking, bathing, feeding, playing fetch, trimming nails and taking them to the vet. I have also taken care of our farm animals daily needs.

Alayja is THE BEST! She saves us every time we have to unexpectedly come to town. Don’t even want to recommend her too hard, so she won’t be booked up on us😂 10000000/10

Alayja did a great job with Kaine ….when he got a little homesick she did a great job with comforting him…he went riding and he even took a bath and he even came home with a little snack bag and yes we will be using her again and she kept the lines of communication open and lots of updates she’s sooooo sweet and compassionate

I'm so very pleased with the service provided by Alayja D. while my family and I were out of town for a few days. Alayja kept me informed on how things were going with Pinnie, as well as sent me photos of her outdoors with her Bull dog. She also made me laugh about Pinnie not being a believer in going out into the rain to take care of her business. When we dropped Pinnie off to her, I did let her know that she does not like going out into the rain. Her message ended with "LOL". On the way back home there was an accident on the interstate, and we later ran into a terrible rainstorm on the interstate that made it very difficult to see the highway dividing lines. We had to exit the interstate onto a local street to wait for the rain to ease up. We kept Alayja apprised of our situation because we planned to pick Pinnie up by 5:00 pm. She understood our situation and said, "no worries, we'll be here." That really eased my concern about causing her any inconvenience. However, we managed to get back not too much after 5:00 p.m. and Pinnie was her usual excited self when Alayja opened the door, and she saw me standing there. I proudly recommend Alayja as a sitter, and I will definitely keep her in mind when I need someone to watch my Pinnie.
