Pet care experience
I grew up on a small farm with many plants and animals. I love snails! I have experience in a grooming salon and can trim nails, bathe, administer medication, and have trained a plethora of species ranging from guppies to a donkey, including chickens. I absolutely love chickens. I currently have two dogs, two cats, two rabbits, a guinea pig, freshwater fish, isopods, springtail colonies, assassin snails, and both aquatic and terrestrial plants. My pets mean everything to me, and all animals deserve the most respect and care we can provide 💞 Please feel free to ask me about any booking concerns or curiosities 🐈🐕🐩🐓🐐🐁🦔🐇🐤🦃🐠🦀🐌🪲🕷
Reviews
Ali M. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Ali was absolutely amazing! Not only did she take our request last minute she was very professional and did great with our pup. She was very attentive and gave us great feedback/pictures from each visit. We will definitely love to have her watch our fur babies again!!

Ali did an amazing job of meeting the dogs, making notes of their routines and behaviors, and implementing my instructions and her own experiences to make a stressful first-time-leaving-them-alone trip easier on me. She provided me with photos and updates, and was very reliable. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again. Thanks, Ali!

I currently do not offer services that involve pets staying at my residence, but I would love to take your dog to the park or walking trail! I have several pets and currently feel that my home is "at capacity." I am comfortable watching your pets in your home and dogs (or any other pet that is confined for safety) are allowed in my car. There is a seat belt extension that connects to your dog's harness in my car as well.
Information Ali M. would like to know about your pet
Age, species, expectations, and breeds if applicable. Who is allowed on what furniture? Which pets get along best with other pets if there are multiple? What accommodations do you prefer or does your pet require(such as help down stairs), and are there any known allergies? (Or allergies of anyone in the house I am sitting; for example if someone has a peanut allergy, I dont want to bring food with peanut products.) What do they usually like as far as playtime and toys? What are their rules, commands, and behavioral modifications in progress? Does your pet have any quirks or personality traits that are safety related? What about personality in general? Feeding preferences such as time, amount, and frequency will be needed, of course, including treat limits and preferences. Do we bag poo, and if so, where are the proper facilities and procedures you prefer me to use, or other potty/litter information? Medications and dosages as well as emergency procedures and preferences; Are there restrictions or special instructions or preferences for your plumbing in the house; if I am sitting, I need to know which toilet is safe to use/if you have to hold the handle/not flush paper/only use a certain bathroom/the sink knobs are reversed, and so on. I prefer to meet at least once before sitting so that I can gain perspective on the pet and owner relationship as well as any fun details such as tricks and stories. Do I check your mail, and if so, where would you like me to place it? I am open to all breeds, ages, and pretty much any species with our adequate communication :)
A typical day
I love to enjoy walking the Greenway! It is great for canine socialization which is imperative for any developing pup! I can walk in your neighborhood in most cases and enjoy fenced in yards and the Greenway walking trail as well. Dunbar Cave has a beautiful woodsy trail! I am open to new places as long as everyone is comfortable and safe:) I prefer pets to be leashed or in fenced yards for safety unless the property allows otherwise. Walks and naps are great bonding activities to make your dog or cat feel the companionship they miss when you're not around. Treat based "games" and adherence to familiar routines are also important.

Availability
I am flexible and prefer to have and give as much notice as possible! Communication is key with any type of scheduling, so please let me know any tentative or concrete plans as soon as possible so I may accommodate them :) I have taken same day bookings with no issue before, but do understand that it is not always possible in every situation; however, I will do as much as I can to help meet the needs of you and your beloved pets!
