Pet care experience
I grew up around Great Danes, so I am very comfortable with large, high energy dogs and understand how to handle them with confidence and care. I also spent time helping my grandmother train service animals, which gave me a strong foundation in patience, consistency, and reading a dog’s behavior. My first job out of high school was as a vet tech, where I gained hands on experience with animal care, health basics, and staying calm in all kinds of situations. Since then, I have continued dog sitting regularly and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means going on long walks, keeping them engaged, or just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Overall, I bring a mix of experience, attentiveness, and a real love for being around dogs.

Reviews

Alera was attentive, arrived on time, and took great care of Louie. I appreciated her reliability and would happily book with her again.
Alera is the best with animals! It was so nice to have someone we could fully trust with our pets. I could not recommend them enough!
Alera took such thoughtful care of my dog, Gum, who is an older, shy pittie mix. I was a little nervous leaving her, but Alera was incredibly attentive and flexible with everything Gum needed. She has a really calm, gentle way with dogs, and it made a big difference. Gum was comfortable with her in a way that takes time, and it was clear she felt safe and cared for
Stevie is a very sweet, energetic boy, so leaving him with someone else felt like a big step at first. Alera made it easy. What stood out most was how at ease I felt while he was with her, I didn’t feel the need to check in or worry. When I came back, he was happy, calm, and clearly comfortable. I’d trust her again without hesitation!
