Pet care experience

I was made for saving animals!

I am a Veterinary Technician with 8 years experience. I have been walking, watching, and loving dogs since before I can remember. You’re babies would be safe and sound with me. I have a friendly baby of my own that loves when he gets to visit with others’ babies. I have a dog park nearby (Oskaloosa Dog Park) and have a great little walking circle around my house.

I've had Ali take care of my cat several times while on long vacations. She does a great job! She understands how to work with pets who are particular. I will definitely book her again!

Our cat Misty had an unexpected medical condition come up shortly before we were due to be away in MN for our wedding and she required a pill twice a day. Ali was able to drop in to give Misty her medicine, some love, and us a piece of mind so we could enjoy our special weekend. We appreciated how easy she was to work with, her knowledge of animals, her communication with us when we checked in, and of course the pictures she sent of our baby.

I treat them like they are my babies. My dogs are my best friends. They are spoiled rotten and I wouldn’t change a thing. That’s exactly how I would treat your pets.

Any breed is welcome! I love to get to know the owner and what their preferences of taking care of their baby is. I am a huge believer that a dog is as good as it’s training, no matter the breed.
