Absolutely no preference of breed! Please just let me know if your dog has any triggers or is reactive at all, not a dealbreaker at all!

A typical day

I live in an area with plenty of trails and I’m a pretty quick drive away from quite a few parks that I would love to take your dog running or walking at! I’ve been learning a lot about enrichment tactics at the animal shelter that I would love to work into a play date with your pet.

Ali was so good with our pup!! It was the first time ever leaving her with someone she doesn’t know, and our dog seemed to love her! She was also easy to work with as far as schedule and timing, and we are appreciative!!

Alicen was absolutely terrific. She was so sweet and accommodating. I could tell that she treated Hunter like he was part of the family. I think he had a better vacation than we did.

Hello, I just wanted to say that Alicen was amazing!!!! She would always update me on my pups and sending pictures and letting me know how their day was going. Every single Pic she sent me my pups looked so happy and im so appreciative of her. I was a little skeptical because I have 2 big dogs and they have alot of energy. I have never let them stay with anybody before so I was nervous but she kept me at ease. I would definitely recommend and would Love and Like to use her again on my next trip. Thank you so much Ali!!!!
