Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life to include military dog training and shelter/rescue experience. Currently in the final phase of completing the dog training certification with the Animal Behavior College. Anticipated completion by winter 2023.

I cannot say enough good things about Alice! We have 2 large German Shepherds that most boarding facilities won’t take due to their “aggressive breed” stereotype. Moving to Biloxi and knowing nobody we took a big gamble by using a service like the one Alice provides. That being said we are incredibly greatful that we did. Alice sent us picture of our crazy babies everyday, took care of our house MORE than we could’ve ever asked someone too, and communicated with us about absolutely everything. Alice is fantastic and if everyone could be like her the world would be a better place for all human and dog kind. If you are nervous about using this service you do not have to be if you choose Alice. Thank you thank you thank you!

Alice did a wonderful job working with and staying with our two large shepherds while we were out of the country. She is very reliable and provided twice daily updates with photos on them. She ensured they were taking care of and went above and beyond to ensure the whole pack - tortoises included, were well fed and cared for and that the house was in order. It is great that she is open to training too and dedicated time to them. Our male shepard can be very guarded towards strangers but took to her instantly during our meet and greet. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a reliable trainer and sitter, especially those of us with large dogs with different behavioral issues. It was such a pleasure to have a true responsible dog person look after our dogs.

Alice was incredible! I booked house sitting/dog sitting for a week. This was my first time booking through an app, and my first time leaving my dogs with someone I didn’t know. My dogs are my everything, and Alice understood! Honestly after the meet and greet, I trusted her. She was very thorough - asked about daily routine, key things to know about my dogs and what sort of check ins I’d like. Alice sent photos and videos everyday, along with brief updates on how the dogs were doing. I enjoyed my time away and didn’t worry once because I knew my dogs were taken care of. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND her, and will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter. She’s the best!

If they are home with me, I will ensure they are provided with all the necessary care. If interested, we can discuss dog training opportunities covering basic obedience during boarding or house sitting (i.e sit, stay, down, heel, come, and proper leash walking to name a few) or more advance commands or behaviors.

Information alice a. would like to know about your pet

I would like, when feasible, to meet with clients and their puppies in advance prior to the required days. That way I can engage the puppy, establish a safe relationship (with client present) and will also help me identify and determine needs or special requirements with the owners.

A typical day

I love to go on walks, play fetch, and/or stimulate the dogs by training them new tricks to be rewarded with treats or affection. Really depends on what the client would need or request. Dogs really love to be challenged and thrive on making us humans happy!!
