Safety, trust & environment

I've crate trained 9 dogs and worked with dogs with anxiety. I also had a foster dog who would get into EVERYTHING. He always wanted to knock over the garbage and grab anything off of a table to I made sure everything was out of his reach. I will make sure to follow all instructions you give me and keep a close eye on your pet when I am in your home.

Information Ali W. would like to know about your pet

Are they on any medications? Do they have any special needs? Is there anything they are reactive to? Is there any type of training you do with them? What is their energy level? How are they on leash (needs to take their time, pulls, etc.)? How do they feel about new people? Do they have any allergies? (Actual question, is it ok if I bring treats to give them?)

A typical day

Please let me know if there is anything your pet loves! I would love to give dogs some enrichment such as a treat in a slow feeder, cardboard box, or paper bag. Let me know any toys they love (cats and dogs). I could play tug and fetch all day! I'm happy to play in a pen with a rat to give them some extra space (I watched a friends rats when they were on vacation). Does your snake need a stretch outside of their terrarium? I'm happy to hold them and let them slither on me.

Pet care experience

I've been obsessed with animals since I was a kid. I always had cats growing up and took horseback riding lessons where I also learned to care for the horses. I've had my rescue pomeranian for 8 years. She was definitely a struggle when we got her. She required two years of training and medication, but completely worth it! Over the years I have taken in 23 foster dogs, including a pregnant dog that had 13 puppies! I raised the puppies until they were ready to go off to their forever homes (yes, all 13). All of the foster dogs have had various behavior and medical needs that I worked with. I have administered oral medication, ear drops, eye drops, and vulva wipes. I have also been volunteering at an animal shelter for the last three years, walking dogs and cleaning kennels. I have walked dogs of all ages and sizes and cleaned up giant messes. No mess your animal makes will ever be a problem for me! I also worked at an AZA accredited zoo where I handled snakes, lizards, chinchillas, turtles, doves, owls, a baby alligator, and more! In addition, I volunteered at the Reptile House in the zoo where I made lots of salad, cleaned up Galapagos Tortoise poop, and fed out live earthworms. I am happy to take care of any of your exotic pets including doing feedings. I am excited to meet your wonderful critter and get to know all about them!

Ali was wonderful with our dog, who was very very shy. Ali handled the situation like a true pro, and I was glad to have somebody with so much experience who knew what to do!

Ali did such a great job taking care of my fur babies. My oldest took a liking to her immediately. They’re both a bit grumpy toward strangers so I was surprised at them warming up to her so soon! She’s very kind and well informed and I do plan on rebooking her in the future!

Ali was amazing. She cleaned after my wobbly cat as he has many accidents and also cuddles with him as he gets separation anxiety. She was extremely prompt and communicative and you can tell she has a real love of fur babies. I would absolutely book with Ali again!
