Happy Tails when your away

Hi, I’m Ale, a Colombian photographer and animal lover 🐶🐱 🌍 My journey has taken me from Colombia 🇨🇴 to Australia 🇦🇺 and New Zealand 🇳🇿, where I’ve built experience as a dedicated and caring pet sitter along the way. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve gained hands on experience caring for pets in different homes and environments, always focusing on keeping their routines consistent and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’m also Certified in Dog First Aid, so I’m prepared to respond calmly and responsibly in case of any emergency. As a professional photographer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work remotely on editing while providing attentive companionship to your pet throughout the day. I enjoy quiet, cozy time with animals while I edit, and I love incorporating walks, play, and enrichment into their routine. At home, I share my life with Ziggy 🐈‍⬛, my 5 year old rescue cat who keeps me grounded and constantly surrounded by animal love. (Don't worry about him while I'm away, he has his spare human, our roommate)

Aleja has taken care of our dog, Lola, several times while we’ve been away traveling, and every experience has been excellent. She is responsible, trustworthy, and dependable, which gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. She is also incredibly loving and caring with Lola, and it’s clear how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. The best part is that Lola absolutely loves her, which says everything. We highly recommend Aleja and will definitely continue booking her in the future!

Aleja is such a treasure. She loves my dog wholeheartedly! When she sends me videos of the two of them together (which she does throughout the day), he has the biggest smile on his face! I came home to a clean, tidy home with a happy pup. Recommend highly.

I’m so grateful to Alejandra for taking such good care of my big baby, and my home, for 10 days. This is the third, and longest, sitting and we received videos and updates throughout our time away. Alejandra was always responsive and very attentive to all of Harley’s needs.

Aleja is a treasure. She took such good care of my boy. She communicated throughout her stay with him soy that I had nothing to worry about. Of course I'll ask for her help again!

Ale always does a great job of taking care of my dog, who is special needs. She goes above and beyond in her daily care and also provides extensive updates and pictures every day.
