Pet Reiki, Care, & Love

Hi there! My preferred name is Luna 🌼 (Legal name Alisha) - please use Luna. 💖 Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. 🐾 As both a devoted dog parent and a healing professional, I approach pet sitting and dog walking with deep attentiveness, patience, and genuine love. Whether it’s a long walk for an energetic pup, gentle Reiki comfort for an older companion, or making sure your furry family member feels safe and nurtured while you’re away — I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments (puppies, seniors, rescues, and special-needs pets) and know how important it is to keep routines consistent while giving extra affection. You can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance that your pet is in safe, capable hands. For Boarding - I have a whole dedicated Pet Studio (the size of a studio apartment) for the pets to enjoy toys, infrared light, and comfy beds. The photo of the red room will be their cozy home. 🏠 What Sets Me Apart: • Trauma-informed, intuitive care for animals with anxiety or special needs • Holistic background (Doctorate in Integrative Medicine & Reiki training) to create calm, healing environments •Reliable, professional, and flexible scheduling • Respect for your home, routines, and your pet’s unique quirks Your furry loved ones are family, and I treat them as such. 💛 I can’t wait to meet your pup, share some joy on our walks, and give you peace of mind while you’re away!

Luna did a great job with my elderly golden retriever. Keeping her happy and relaxed! Definitely going to have her watch my pup again!

House Sitting • Jan 09, 2026

Luna is absolutely amazing. She cared for our 3 month old Aussie puppy for 3 days and nights and she came back a better dog! Luna cares so much about the animals in her life and really understands their behaviors and needs. Our puppy had all kinds of undirected energy that was coming out with lots of puppy biting a frustrated barking, and since the stay with Luna and her pack she has really developed more focus and awareness of her behaviors, as have we. We are looking forward to her next stay. Thanks so much!

Doggy Day Care • Jan 02, 2026

We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!

Luna is a total pro! My dog loved her and she gave me regular updates. She kept my place in great order and was a dream houseguest. You can trust Luna to take good care of your fur baby. I’ll definitely book her again.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets come into my home, they become part of my family. 💛 My space is warm, calm, and filled with natural light, plants, and gentle energy — designed to feel safe and soothing for both humans and animals. Your dog will be welcomed into a structured but loving routine that balances play, exercise, and rest: • Daily walks & outdoor time to explore, stretch, and release energy (tailored to your pet’s age and comfort). • Playtime enrichment with toys, training games, and gentle redirection to keep their minds sharp. • Healing comfort through calm touch, Reiki, and intuitive care — especially for pets with anxiety, senior needs, or sensitive temperaments. • Holistic wellness environment: I use natural cleaning products, filtered water, and a pet-friendly, chemical-free home. • Companionship & snuggles (if your pet is the cuddly type!) so they never feel alone. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality. Some thrive on constant play, others need quiet reassurance — I tune into that rhythm. Pets in my care are never just “watched”; they’re nurtured, respected, and loved like they’re my own. What sets me apart: ✨ Trauma-informed approach for pets who may be shy, reactive, or have past challenges. ✨ Reiki & integrative healing background to bring calm to high-energy or anxious animals. ✨ Years of experience balancing structure and freedom — your pet will have consistency while also enjoying joy-filled moments. ✨ A compassionate, professional sitter you can trust to provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. Your dog’s stay with me will feel like a retreat: safe, joyful, and full of love. 🌻🐕🐾

PLEASE let me know if your dog has special needs, dog-aggressive behaviors, high anxiety, poor boundaries, etc - I love them and I am able to care for them but I would like a plan and need to know of all needs before visit. This is to maintain the upmost safety of your pup/pups and myself. Thank you!
