I love parks & hiking adventures

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Alethea and I've been crazy about animals since I was a kid. Over the years I've boarded, pet-sat, and walked dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages from a 4-month old Husky to a 10 year-old Pomeranian. In college, I adopted the sweetest shiba mix, Sheva, and had her for 12 wonderful years. She recently passed away at 15.5 years old and I miss her dearly. I have a lot of backlogged love to give to every critter I come across! Having had my own senior pup, I also understand the importance of being attentive to the needs of an older dog and am comfortable giving oral medication and feeding via a syringe.

Alethea is a very attentive and patient person. She spent time getting to know our special needs dog on a visit prior to the walk. She has a gentle presence and built an instant rapport with our otherwise skiddish dog. We will be using her services for both our cat and dog, and feel comfortable knowing that our pets are well taken care of in our absence!

Alethea was absolutely amazing! So loving with our kitties and sent us lots of pics. My husband and I are always nervous leaving our babies and Alethea made us feel so relaxed and comforted in knowing that they were in great hands. Definitely recommend!

Alethea was an ideal dog sitter! She visited my pup while we were gone for the day, made sure he got love and food and pets! She is sweet and trustworthy and I’ll definitely ask her for more dog sitting help in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding, I have a pet camera in my home for when I need to leave briefly to run errands, etc. and can easily check in on your pup(s). Scuffles and mischievousness happen. So to prevent that, I also have pet gates to separate animals and keep them comfy in their own spaces until I’m back. The exception is if they come from the same home and the owner says it’s okay for them to be alone together. I have a very spacious two bedroom apartment with lots of room to roam and play. Happy to have your pup sleep in my bedroom, a different room, or in their crate- however you and they prefer :)

Information Alethea S. would like to know about your pet

What is the dog's personality, triggers, and typical behavior? What type of treats does he/she enjoy? I love and am comfortable around all dogs and have no size or breed preferences for pet-sitting at the dog's home, however, there are a few restrictions for my apartment building. Unfortunately, dogs over 60lbs are not allowed to stay in my apartment. But pet-sitting any breed and size at the owner's home is perfectly fine!

A typical day

If it fits your dog's lifestyle, I'm always up for walking adventures at a nearby park, the beach, or even some fun hiking trails! At my apartment, there's plenty of room for fun indoor playtime as well.

As a freelancer, I have a lot of down time in between jobs where I'm at home- which gives me plenty of time to hang out with and care for your pup! While I can be a homebody, I'm also active in my personal life and love being outside- especially to go hiking. My own pup recently passed away so I currently have no pets of my own and love to spend time with others’ fur babies as much as possible. I'm more than happy to either hang out at home or take your dog on an adventure or two if that fit's his/her lifestyle. Either way, I can't wait to meet you and your dog!
