Large fenced yard to run in!
Pet care experience
Hello, My name is Alice and I am an animal lover! Thank you for considering me to care for your fur baby. I work from home so I can be available for regular care throughout the day and tend to be flexible for pick up/drop off times between 9am and 7 pm. In have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I get to know each dog personally, so I can provide appropriate exercise and care, offering accommodations when needed. What your dog will experience: Two feedings per day with their own food. I have worked with all levels of food interest from inhaled before the bowl hits the ground, to needs to be hand fed. I will be sure they are comfortable and able to eat. Outside time running in the fenced in yard with other dog friends (I board up to 6 dogs at a time). Usually this is chasing the ball or just a stroll around the yard depending on their energy level. I have mobility issues, so long walks are not something I can do often. I can only care for dogs who can get tired in my yard and don't need a lot of additional exercise. Though I do not have any breed or size restrictions, I can not care for young energetic jumpers that could knock me over. Treats both provided and from my supply, so please let me know if they have any allergies. I am able to send updates (kids love to see their pets while on vacation, adults too!) and will always bring any issues to your attention. This is your pet, so I respect that you will be the one to make decisions about their care if an issue should arise. To be sure everyone gets along I require a play date before booking. This is just a 20ish minute free session to be sure your dog is comfortable with me, my space and to give us a chance to meet. I ask that you provide their food, a cage/kennel if they need it at night or while I am away from the house and a leash. Toys, a bed or blanket and treats are optional if your dog has favorites feel free to include them. I have completed the Duke University course Dog Emotion and Cognition. Thank you so much for considering me!
Reviews
Alice took great care of my dog, and I really appreciated the photos she sent. We will definitely book again.
Alice was amazing and so patient with our dog who wasn’t settling in like we’d hoped while we were out of town for the week. Communication was fantastic and their ability to be fluid with the accommodations helped us to relax while being so far away. Thank you, Alice! 💙🐾
Alice communicated in detail before Sadie’s first visit which was helpful. I felt I knew what to expect. Since I have a puppy, I was a little concerned about the bigger dogs. I appreciated that Alice sent a picture early on so I could see things were going well and she was thinking of my pet. Also, she shared afterward about how things went. My pup had a good time and was well cared for.
Alice is an amazing sitter. She truly cares for her houseguests and keeps them active and safe. Not to mention she is great with sending updates. I get anxious about leaving my fur baby, but Alice takes such great care of her which keeps me from worrying. Definitely recommend!

I have a large fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play in. It is important to take the dogs comfort and energy level into account. If I have multiple dogs I may let them out individually, small groups, but definitely in an order that keeps everyone safe.

Information Alice B. would like to know about your pet
-Energy level and exercise preferences and needs -how they interact with children and other animals -if they have any special needs -are they behaved at dog parks -If they have any allergies
A typical day
Exercise will mostly be in my fenced in yard. I will throw a ball or stick for them. Sometimes I can take them on a walk or bike ride if my mobility allows. I can't always supplement yard running, so I tend to take dogs that have low to moderate energy levels.

Alice can host
Availability
This is my full time job, so I can offer frequent potty breaks. We will definitely have two meals, treats sometimes, plenty of outside breaks, sometimes just to go potty and sometimes to run and play!
