Pet care experience

Puppies, Seniors & Special Needs

I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and activity levels, with a special passion for senior and special-needs pets. My own dog, Jack, was born with scoliosis, and I was his primary caregiver throughout his life. Caring for him taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog's individual needs. Thanks to lots of love and dedicated care, Jack lived to be 17½ years old. I also have my dog, Bear, who occasionally joins me for house sitting and dog sitting when it is a good fit and approved by the owner. Bear is a calm, friendly, and well-socialized dog who enjoys relaxing and keeping other dogs company. She is respectful of other dogs' space and is happy to simply hang out while I focus on providing excellent care for your pet. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs a little extra support, I'll make sure they receive the personalized care, attention, and affection they deserve.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment and routine. When caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care that I would my own. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels comfortable and consistent for them. Whether your dog needs a relaxing companion, extra exercise, medication reminders, or a little more patience and attention, I am happy to accommodate their individual needs. Your peace of mind is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos while you're away. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and receiving the care they deserve.

Alisha did an outstanding job watching our pups over the weekend. We have a unique situation with one our Huskies being blind and she handled the special requirements like a pro! Will definitely book her again!

We absolutely loved having Alisha care for Emma in our home. Emma definitely warmed up pretty quickly to her during the meet and greet, which is not something we see a lot for an anxious baby like Emma. Alisha responded promptly, kept us updated throughout her stay, and gave Emma so much love. She also did great with giving the medications and because she works from home, Emma had a lot of chances to really hang out with Alisha. She also helped with handing the shift over to our next Rover sitter, so we greatly appreciate that. Will definitely keep coming back to Alisha!

Alisha is AMAZING. I’ve had her as my dogs sitter for almost a year now! I haven’t looked any other sitter since her. My dogs adore her and pull me to her door every time!

Schedule

I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walks, house sitting, and overnight stays throughout the week and on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each pet's routine, whether they need a midday potty break, a long walk, overnight companionship, or extra love while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best, their own home.

Before caring for your pet, I would love to learn about their personality, routines, and any special needs or behaviors I should be prepared for. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I have experience with small dogs with special needs, senior dogs, and larger dogs with lots of energy. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a little more exercise, medication reminders, or just someone who understands their unique personality, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs.
