Information Ali H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is overly aggressive towards other dogs or people, if they are spayed/neutered, and if they are a big "puller" on the leash. What training method did you use as far? Does your dog have any troublesome behaviors?

A typical day

I live near many trails and sidewalks that your dog can enjoy walking. There is also a dog park near me. Your dog will have the opportunity to play with me and my hound dog, Benji and my Brittany spaniel and labradoodle mix if you wish. We have many toys and ample space in our home.

Hello, there, my 4-legged friends!

Pet care experience

Hello!I have 17 years of dog training and veterinarian technician experience. I have grown up and lived with dogs for all of my life. I am experienced in first aid emergencies if, God forbid, something happens to your loved one. I believe in positive - reinforcement when training and interacting with dogs. I currently have two dog of my own who loves playing with others. I do not have any children. If your dog stays with me, he/she will get the chance to have lots of exercise or comfortable nap times if they wish. We can share and lots of activities available for yor dog.. I hope I get the opportunity to meet many of the world's greatest animals. HOUSE SITTING: overnight stay at you home with your fur babies. I will come in the evening after my work, stay overnight and will bring them for walk in the morning. I'm working full time job. I'm working full time. I'm taking dogs for walks or doggy play dates. The intensity of walking is fitted to the age and fitness condition of dog.

Ali was truly exceptional with my dog, Gatsby. As a very anxious dog owner, I do not trust easily when it comes to leaving my dog in someone else’s care. Good pet care means so much more than just watching them. It’s about understanding their routine, making sure they’re safe, supervised, exercised, treated kindly, and cared for in a way that feels thoughtful. Ali went above and beyond in every way. Before even agreeing to watch Gatsby, she took the time to meet with us multiple times at the dog park so our dogs could get to know each other and make sure everyone was comfortable. She also welcomed us to her home beforehand so Gatsby could get used to the environment, the smells, and feel more familiar before his stay. That level of care and intention meant so much to me. Ali’s background in training and as a vet tech gave me even more confidence, and it was clear from the start that she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and experienced. Most importantly, she made me feel completely at ease. By the end of it, I had zero worries and knew Gatsby was in safe, capable, and loving hands, and that he was having a great time. If you’re someone who gets anxious about leaving your dog with anyone, I honestly can’t think of a better person to trust. Ali is the kind of sitter who goes the extra mile, and that peace of mind is priceless.

Ali was terrific with our two pups! She communicated and sent photos daily. She spent time training them (our younger pup listened) to do things we had never done (or thought we could do). Terrific sense of humor! Really enjoyed having her!

Ali was terrific. Our dog Snowball had a great time with Ali and her dogs. We received daily updates via text and the Rover app. Ali was very accommodating as we were heading out of town unexpectedly and needed to find someone to watch Snowball. She responded quickly to our request. I highly recommend Ali.

Ali is an attentive care provider and a great communicator! Timber came home happy and relaxed. We would leave our pets with her any time.
