The Canine Psychic

Pet care experience

I'm psychic, and I knew you’d be reading this! Okay, yes, I know it doesn’t work like that, but how else could I nab your attention in this virtual world within a nutty world? But seriously, I have a very keen sixth sense. I am totally intuitive when it comes to dogs; I know what they want, how they feel about each other, how they feel about us humans, what makes them happy, and when they're upset. You will not be disappointed with the skills I have to offer as dog whisperer. I feel like that term gets thrown around a lot, overused. Dogs love most people, and people love them right back (unless you’re a monster, really), but very few can really feel their spirit, commune with their feelings like I do. I really do see them as kindred spirits and my closest buddies. I am a part of a small team of dog sitters and specialists, I guess you can call us a happy collective of dog lovers who live together. We are an interesting and creative group of people, but we all share a mutual love and respect for animals, especially dogs. We’ve each had our own pup as well as taken in neighborhood dogs while families were away. We have been making new dog friends since we were children. Being around dogs and other wonderful animals keeps us connected to our natural world, makes us more human. We want to bring peace and comfort to your pup and we will gain so much from their positive energy and good vibes. Dogs are sponges that wring out extra love each time––their capacity for loyalty is off the charts. You won’t have to worry if someone is signing up to "watch" your pet, wondering if they are sad or at the very least having playtime while you’re away. At this house, we have playtime all the time (except during nap time, which is cherished). Whether it’s passing a ball in the backyard, chasing each other through the house, or doing their best trick for treats, our furry guests are constantly having fun and staying safe while they do it. The house is big with several doors/ rooms so there are spaces for the energetic and the less energetic. We also have a large fenced-in backyard which is well-equipped with plenty of toys, bones, and ropes to play with. Michael R is my partner who also does Rover based out of Boston, MA. Since we moved to Colchester from Boston, Michael did not want to leave behind any of our canine friends. So, he drives to the greater Boston area to pick-up and drop-off our dog friends. This way, we can keep our old clients and find new ones here in CT! He has over 170 five star reviews. Check out his rover page as well! www.rover.com/sit/michaelr111 If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and ask! I’m always available and will respond within minutes. I typically have a few dogs boarding at a time. I’m very familiar with socializing, and I’m there to support your dog no matter what feelings they may have toward one another. I am always home to monitor them closely to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe. Expectations and boundaries for each other are established with support from me and are respected throughout the duration of stay. I am absolutely reliable and able to handle crisis or special interventions as they may arise with intuition and compassion. As I mentioned before, I am also a part of a team which are always available as well when assistance is needed. When I’m not loving and caring for dogs. my other hobbies include gardening, candle making, and horseback riding!

Ollie had a great first day at Ali's! Love the fenced in yard and that Ollie had other dogs to play with. Ali was great and friendly, and super flexible with pickup. We will absolutely rebook again.

Our 6 month old puppy had a blast at camp while we were away. Ali is so organized and super responsive. We have already booked our next stay!

Information Ali H. would like to know about your pet

I am very personable and intuitive when it comes to dogs and humans. I will provide dog and owner with communication, respect, and support in all areas. Please, ask us anything you want to know about us and your dogs stay with us! We’ll put your mind at ease––our house is your dog’s house, seriously. Community does not mean shirking responsibility, it means your pup will get extra love and care. I’ll have a full list of questions to ask so I have all the information to keep your dog healthy, safe, and happy. No detail is too small––everything you can tell me about your pup’s diet, medications, past experiences, etc. will help me understand and really see your dog. I also believe in easy, open communication, so of course I’ll send regular updates and feel free to contact me anytime, day or night!

A typical day

I have a fenced in yard so we can play around for house while being able to go right inside for nap time. Our house is spacious and open, so your pup will have plenty of room to be comfortable here. We have a fresh water pond in our yard, so if your dog likes to swim, they will be in heaven! Apart from their daily dog camp routine, your beloved pup will get a million kisses, belly rubs, and cuddles.
