Balanced Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

Whether it’s for boarding or daycare, I am focused on not only caring for your pet while you are away, but providing reinforced training and other enrichment such as hiking, small group play, mental enrichment games, having a game of tug, practicing place for relaxation and more! I also was a Veterinary Technician for 3 years and can administer medications, have senior dog experience, and more.

I was very happy to find Alicyn . She is a true dog lover, and takes amazing care of my dog Doja ! Doja is one and a half year old German pointer full of energy who is now finally mellowed out a bit. I have no worries with Alicyn. Doja wags her tail and goes with her no problem . Alison will always send pictures of her and activities throughout the day ma . Also sends me info on leashes/collars and the proper and safest ways to use them. She has gone so far as to cutting Doja ‘s nails! :-) Doja is such a better dog since being with Alicyn . She sits on command comes on command doesn’t jump on anyone anymore, and makes complete eye contact with me . Alicyn not only helped Doja , but she helped me!! Thank you Alicyn for giving me a peace of mind while away and for helping me and Doja ‘s relationship, I enjoy her and she enjoys me, and that is the best part of it all . Alicyn’s the best ever !!!!!

Alicyn has been the best thing that has happened for our pups! She welcomed our 10 yr old Carolina mix and our new 1 year old dachshund mix into her home like they were part of her family. Our older guy needed a place that was calmer than a traditional kennel, caring, and offered some accommodations to his abilities (arthritis). Alicyn has been so incredibly loving! She takes them on wonderful hikes, trains/ reinforces what we’ve taught our younger pup, and is always letting us know how they’re doing when we’re away! Even though it has only been 8 months, I feel like we’ve been sending them to her for years!

Working with Alice was an absolute pleasure! You can see her love and devotion to all the babies she puts in time to care for. She is especially great with the nervous, untrained, and slightly angry pets (my cat)! She has great communication and always keeps me updated. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and an personally looking forward to working with her again :)

Alicyn is the best with my 2 year old lab Marley, who can be quite the handful at times. Alicyn is nice, attentive, and LOVES animals so much--it's obvious how much the animals love her too. I don't trust many people with my puppy but anytime I go away, Alicyn is the only person I want taking care of my little girl. No other person compares!!
