Trustworthy and flexible dog lover

Pet care experience

I have a very flexible schedule, I work from home M-F 8-5 with a 1 hour break for lunch. I am trustworthy. Willing to go within a ~20 min radius of Haymarket for visits and walks. I am a huge animal lover and will love your pup as if they are my own. I have worked with a variety of breeds including great danes, chow chows, beagles, and pit bulls - young and old! I am 5'10" and one of my main hobbies is weightlifting, so large breeds are no problem. I can follow care instructions very well if you have specific needs for your dog. I have two rescue kitties of my own - so I'm comfortable with cats too. I'm very flexible with availability. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work from home so I can bring my work with me wherever I go. Early morning, 12-1, and after 5pm hours are the best times for me though :) While in your home, I’d go only in areas directed by you or required to care for your animal. I do not wander or snoop. I was raised on the concept of “leave it nicer than you found it.” If you want us to stay at my house, that’d be great! I live with my mom and we have a big backyard, but I would keep your pup on a leash at all times. They can hang out with me wherever I go - to my office, the kitchen, living room.

I cannot say enough great things about Ali. She was so kind and loving to our two large dogs. She took the time to make sure we felt comfortable and she felt comfortable and we were so grateful! She communicated daily, send pictures constantly, and was just such a wonderful house guest! Will book with her for as long as she will have us!

Ali is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! She was so kind and attentive to our four cats and sent us the cutest updates and pictures! Ali took such great care of them as well as our house while we were gone. Our cats loved her - they might even be a little sad that she had to leave! I cannot express how thankful we are - thank you, Ali!!

Highly recommend Ali’s pet services! We hired her recently to watch our dwarf kitten - Squirt - while we were away for the weekend. Squirt is very fearful of strangers, but Ali continued to try to gain her trust, which we appreciate. She visited twice daily visits to our kitten

Ali was such a great sitter for my two cats. She was always on time, followed all care instructions and left detailed notes and sent me pictures after each visit. I highly recommend her and will definitely look to booking her again in the future.
