Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Ali. I grew up in the Seattle area before moving to Wisconsin for school and now I am back on the west coast in sunny SoCal. My pet care experience first begins when I was about 10 years old and we got our first dog (and then a second a few years down the road). It was my sister and I's responsibility to bathe, feed, walk, clean up after and take care of our dogs. I was also very active in the training of our dogs, going to classes and learning how to properly handle and work with our dogs (one of which had pretty severe aggression). As a young adult I volunteered for a few years at a local animal shelter feeding, cleaning and the walking the dogs there. I also worked closely with a dog at the shelter who had some behavioral issues that needed to be worked on in order to help him get adopted. Recently, I have been fostering pups with a local rescue and working with them on any issues they may have as well. On top of my experience handling, being around and taking care of dogs, I have several years experience in house/pet-sitting. While living in Seattle I had several people for whom I would stay at their house and take care of their animals (mostly cats at this point), a few of these pets needed extra medical care so I have experience in giving medications as well as in administering IV fluids. I have also done extensive training with my own dog, Scout. I am a calm, confident leader for him, which will absolutely extend to your pooch. I love dogs (and cats) of all shapes and sizes and do have experience handling larger breeds. Any dog that is in my care is treated and cared for as if s/he were my own. You will never have to worry about a lack of love, care or attention while you are away.
Reviews
Ali was able to hang with my dog Jellybean last minute. Always goes perfectly. Thanks again!
Ali is the best! She has helped us out visiting our senior dog Jellybean a few times and it’s always smooth sailing.
Ali was available again to watch our dog Jellybean very last minute. Total rockstar. Thanks again!
First time having Ali watch our kitties and I have never felt more comfortable with someone watching them!! She was so communicative, respectful and lovely to work with. Truly the best experience.

Safety, trust & environment
My building has a large front “yard” where I take my dog out to sniff and play during the day. I have a long-line that I use while I am out there for any guest dogs or fosters so that they may safely enjoy themselves as well. In order to ensure safety and security of all pets involved, I do require your pet to be crate trained if staying at my home. I utilize the crate with my own dog throughout the day and at night and always make sure it is a happy, comfortable and most importantly, safe place for them to be.

Information Ali C. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences, however before sitting for your dog, I would like to know about any behavior issues or things that I should be aware of. As well as any other information that you may have that can help me take care of your dog in the best way possible.
A typical day
I live an active and healthy lifestyle and enjoy walking and hiking, while staying with me, your pet most certainly will be joining in on those activities.

Availability
I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care is interwoven throughout my day. On summer days, I usually try to get walks done first thing in the morning before it heats up and again in the evening after it cools down.
