Pet care experience
With over ten years of experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds and all age ranges. My expertise spans various breeds, including large dogs like Siberian Huskies, Great Danes, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and Pitbulls, and small breeds like Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Shih Tzus, and Bulldogs. This experience has equipped me with a broad understanding of different breed characteristics and care requirements. I am skilled in caring for pets with specific medical needs, such as paw injuries, torn ACL recovery, and post-operative care following neutering or spaying, ensuring they receive gentle, attentive, and appropriate support during their healing process. I also have extensive experience in dog walking including dogs who are not leash trained and understand how to keep your pet safe when walking in a city where there are cars, garbage on the streets, other pets, or squirrels that may catch your pet's eye. There is no dog too big or too small for me to care for, and as a fellow dog owner, I understand the deep trust you must place in those who look after your pet.
Reviews
Ali was great. She was very friendly and communicative. My dog can be energetic and a handful at times but Ali was great with her and I had no concerns at all. She followed all the requests I made for walks, placing down treat puzzles for my dog before leaving, and made sure my apartment was locked and secure every time before leaving. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to walk and or watch your dog! Will definitely be using her again I ever need someone again.
Ali is extremely trustworthy and dependable when it comes to caring her own pets, and the pets of others. She is naturally compassionate and cares deeply about her own big dogs. She has a deep understanding of the needs of different breeds of dogs, as well as other animals. Ali is well versed in caring for and understanding difficult breeds, as she has an older pure bred husky that is both full of character and very stubborn. I would trust Ali to care for any of my pets, regardless of their size, age, individual needs, or specific quirks. My dogs love to see Ali and I never have anything to worry about when she is taking care of them.
Ali took great care of my Beagle/Boston terrier mix, and she loves Ali. Ali always notified me, If something wasn’t right with Snoopy. I didn’t have to worry at all when Snoopy was with Ali. I would highly recommend Ali for walking or caring for your dog if needed.
Hello friends of Rover - It is my utmost honor to recommend Ali Schultz as a dog walker for rover. As a pet owner herself, she is a very loving, attentive, and overall special human. I would trust her not only with my pets but with my loved ones and children.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for the pet. This typically includes regular feeding times, play sessions, and walks to ensure they feel secure and entertained. I make sure the space is pet-proofed, with hazardous items out of reach and plenty of pet-friendly areas to rest and play. In the client's home, I respect their space and routines, maintaining the pet's regular schedule as closely as possible to minimize stress. I ensure the pet has access to familiar toys and sleeping spots, and I pay close attention to any specific instructions provided by the owner, such as medication schedules, dietary restrictions, or preferred walking routes. In both settings, I monitor the pets closely for any signs of discomfort or illness and maintain open communication with the owners, providing updates and photos of their pets. My approach is flexible, adapting to the individual needs and preferences of each pet to provide the best possible care.
Information Ali S. would like to know about your pet
Before pet care, I gather key details to ensure safety and comfort. This includes their health background, behavioral traits, daily routines, and any specific training or commands. Knowledge of their dietary needs, exercise requirements, and favorite comfort items is also crucial. I ensure I have contact information for their vet and emergency contacts, along with any necessary legal and insurance details. This preparation allows me to provide personalized and attentive care, keeping pets happy and healthy under my supervision.
A typical day
Engaging pets with fun and enriching activities is something I prioritize. Together, we'll enjoy a variety of games that not only keep them physically active but also mentally stimulated. We'll explore the outdoors, discovering all the intriguing smells in my neighborhood and taking advantage of the large park close to my home for some open-space playtime. Whether it's fetch, agility exercises, or just a leisurely stroll to take in the sights and sounds, I tailor activities to each pet's interests and energy levels to ensure they have a delightful and satisfying experience.
