Pet care experience

Dog lover, dog mom

Hello there! I’m currently sticking around in the Brunswick/Topsham Maine area. I have walked dogs for traveling nurses, vacationers, dog parents that want to ensure their dogs have a special play time while they are at work, and specialty care for a dog that had hip surgery. Whether it's light jogging, hiking, frisbee, fetch, parks, or any activities your dog is used to or enjoys doing, I am happy to be that pal to them! I LOVE taking photos and videos of dogs, and would absolutely be sending you photos or videos of how your dog(s) doing! Dog behavior/language is something I have a keen awareness of. I have been around many breeds of dogs, as well as livestock guardian type breeds. I am very open in communication, and find that essential for the best possible accommodation/time with your furry family member, knowing what his/her needs are. I’m a dog mom and have experience with all kinds of breeds and sizes, from livestock guardian dogs that live with goats, to my tiny long haired Chihuahua…Of you have any questions at all feel free to reach out!

Alisha was a terrific sitter for our senior dog! She took such good care of him, provided great communication, and I felt like he was in very good hands while we were away. Highly recommend!

Alicia arrived right on time. You can tell she relates well to dogs and they like her also! She caught on quickly to the special needs of my dog who recently had surgery and quickly learned how to use the equipment to walk him. Overall, a very good experience and will definitely book with her for future dog needs!

Alisha is wonderful to humans and our pets!! Alisha is very responsive and an excellent communicator. We left the house in a rush and forgot to put everything where we told her it would be. Alisha was very resourceful and understanding and we were able to quickly recover! She was so attentive and great with our 3 dogs! Alisha is awesome for those who are traveling and need on the fly help, and would be a trusted resource for ongoing care!

We are Virginia's Only Organic Maple Syrup farm. We also have lots of farm animals which works well with our b&b guests. We needed to go to a wedding out of town and needed someone to feed the animals. Alisha did an outstanding job! She took care of our cattle, sheep, alpacas, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and our dogs. Leaving the farm can be stressful with this many animals but we were confident she would do a great job and she most certainly did. To get an idea of our farm visit us at www.millgapfarms.com. You can see for yourself, she had her work cut out for her. We know the next time we leave the farm we'll be calling her!

Alisha has been a dog owner for most of her life. She cares for them as though they are a part of her family. She has trained and owned many different breads, including an Australian cattle dog, a mixed pit bull, a mutt and a handful of livestock dogs. She will provide any pet with gentle, safe and adoring care. She is a responsible, trusted and knowledgeable pet owner and caregiver. She is very attentive to their needs and to any job that she will be doing involving their care. She has owned her cattle dog for nearly 15 years, and she is still happy and healthy. Her dog’s age and young demeanor are great testaments to Alisha’s long term care for her animals.

Alisha is a "dog whisperer". Dog's just love her because they feel that she likes them! As a result they respect and listen to her. She is honest, friendly & easy going, and a hard worker.
