Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws, Purrs & Plenty of Love
For the past 17 years, dogs and cats have been a central part of my life. I've owned six dogs and my husband and I currently share our home with four cats, giving me extensive hands-on experience with pets of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. Although my two beloved dogs recently passed away and I'm not quite ready to welcome new dogs of my own, I still love being around them and find so much happiness in caring for them. Over the years, I've worked with foster programs through veterinary offices and animal services, helping provide safe, loving homes and care for dogs in need. I've also regularly cared for dogs and cats for friends and family, from energetic puppies who need guidance and playtime to senior pets who benefit from extra patience and attention. Every stage of a pet's life brings something special, and I truly enjoy providing the love, care, and companionship that helps them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pet, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that feels as close to home as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their unique routines, preferences, and needs. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules, and I pride myself on being highly attentive to detail. My home features tile flooring throughout, making it clean, sanitary, and pet-friendly, and my fully enclosed backyard provides a secure space for dogs to safely enjoy outdoor time. Cleanliness is very important to me, and I maintain a tidy environment while ensuring food areas, water bowls, litter boxes, and pet spaces are kept fresh and well cared for. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or sticking to a familiar routine, they will receive patient, attentive care and plenty of affection while you're away.

Awesome, honest and dependable who loves dogs and cats. We are very comfortable with knowing that Ben & Bailey are takin care of when I can’t be there. Thanks Alex
Ali watched my Dalmatian Jasper and my two house cats. I was away for a week and she sent me frequent updates and photos of my fur babies. She treated them just like I would (possibly even better!) you can really tell that she loves animals of all shapes and sizes! Thanks Ali
Ali thank you so much for the care and love you gave to my cat Shrimp. Ali loves my cat and my cat loves her. Shrimp took to her immediately. I would recommend animal lover Ali to everyone! Beware they will love her!
Ali took care of my dog and cat when we had an emergency and needed our baby’s taken care of. I never had to even think about or worry about them because she came with raving reviews from my friend. She loved them just as I would if I were there. When I got home they were happy and healthy as when I left them. Thanks Ali!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I'm also very active and walk about 3 miles each day, so I’m happy to bring energetic dogs along for exercise and outdoor time. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I’m equally happy to let them relax at home and enjoy a comfortable, low-key environment. I strive to tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and needs so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

- I want to provide the best possible care for your pet, so before each booking I'd love to know about their personality, routine, medical needs, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any fears, triggers, or behavioral quirks. Please let me know how they interact with other people and animals, as well as any special instructions for their care. Since I have cats in my home, any dogs staying with me must be cat-friendly and comfortable around cats. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet has a safe, happy, and stress-free stay.
