Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was a kid whether it was my personal pets or friends! The most important thing to me is always making sure animals feel safe around me, so I always take the time to match their energy! I understand more than anyone how hard it is to leave your pet at home, my goal is to allow you to enjoy your time away knowing your baby or babies are taken care of!

Great start with Ali! She was so sweet at our meet and greet, even when my puppy got mud on her white sneakers! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and made me feel very comfortable having her caring for our puppy. She came yesterday to play with her for the first time, kept in touch with me and sent pics. Look forward to using her going forward.

So, here’s how you know Ali is great. She came highly recommended from our primary dog sitter who wasn’t available for a portion of our trip. If another dog sitter recommends her, she must be awesome! Very communicative, understanding and took care of our boy as expected! Amazing. Thanks again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have three cats who are all a very affectionate and well taken care of. I have even had a cat who is very sick and I understand how hard that can be when it comes to medication or special needs. I also grew up with dogs in working with dogs my entire life. So I know how different animals will need different things as well as how their age may play a factor. Making sure those younger pets get out their energy and making sure those older pets are looked after. Please see my reviews!

Information Ali W. would like to know about your pet

For me, I just need to know if there are any triggers I should be aware of in case it’s a rescue dog as well as how they are on walks. Are they good with other animals or should I steer clear while I’m walking them?

A typical day

I will do whatever the owner(s) prefer but I will make sure they get a lot of attention and get what THEY need. I am a very active person but also will just sit with the pet if that’s what they need. It all depends on the pet and I like to think I’m pretty good at reading them! Know that when your pets are in my care, I watch them very closely to see what they need. They will have my undivided attention.
