Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should prepare for! I have experience with small dogs with specials needs, senior dogs, and bigger dogs with lots of energy.

A typical day

I can take your dog on short or long walks, play with them with their toys, give them snuggles, and can help with practicing tricks and/or commands.

Pet care experience

I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, but especially with specials needs, senior, and small and large dogs. My old fur-baby, Jack, was special needs (born with scoliosis) and I did the majority of care for him. He lived to be 17 and a half.

Alisha, again, was amazing. My fur babies love her so much. She’s attentive and sends regular updates. Until next time!

Alisha followed our dog caring instructions expertly. She was very communicative and sent pictures. And left our house in excellent condition. Felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs with her. Would book her again. 10 out of 10.

Alisha was fantastic. She sent updates and photos throughout our vacation. Made us feel so comfortable about being away. We switched caregivers midway through the trip and she left a note updating the next person. We will hire her again in a heartbeat. She made us feel like she really liked our dogs!
