Love Dogs! Enjoy being with them!
Pet care experience
Animals of all kinds have always been a big part of my life from my pet chickens and cats as a child to the 6 dogs I had as an adult. I owned at least one dog from 1968 until 2021. My dogs were always part of rhe family, even taking camping trips with us.I have taken care a number of friend’s and family’s dogs. Now I enjoy dog sitting in my home. Gives me dog love with more freedom.
Reviews
Alice W. has had family dogs for over 50 years! They have all been happy, well adjusted and well taken care of. She has cared for my dogs in the past. I have left them confident that I would return to a happy healthy dog.
I have known Alice (and her late husband) for at least a decade or more. Alice is the consumate homemaker and pet lover. She is mature, stable, a wonderful decorator, and can make bread from scratch! Alice keeps her home neat, clean, pet friendly and pet safe. I knew two of her personal pets and in Alice's care they knew only love.
Alice has decades of experience as a dog owner and, more recently, as in-home dog sitter/caregiver. She is exceptionally responsible, dependable, and attentive to detail. Her home is located in a safe and dog-friendly neighborhood. Her easily-accessed back yard is enclosed by a 6’ privacy fence. She is an animal lover whose nature puts dogs at ease. I would have no reservations about having her care for my own dog as I know she has taken excellent care of others’ dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard, 7 foot wooden fence. I always go out with the dog or in inclement weather, watch from the door until they are ready to come in. They are allowed anyplace in my home but prefer they be in a crate at night. Have a large wire crate which is in my bedroom.
Home
Information Alice W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any dietary issues, allergies etc. also any fears your dog might have. I would want the name of your veterinarian and assurance that they have permission to treat should the need arise.
A typical day
I love to play with dog, ball, tug, hide and seek, whatever they enjoy. I garden so during garden season am often out in the fenced yard with them. I am very active but because of my age, I will not leash walk your dog but will provide plenty of cuddles, play and love.
