Safety, trust & environment

I am a gentle person, and work best with animals that are not defiant or high-energy. I love to provide long brushing sessions, cuddles on the couch, playtime, and treats.

Information Alistair W. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of your dog’s temperament and exercise requirements ahead of time. I do not walk dogs that are super heavy pullers or have a tendency to slip out of their collars. I am not able to run due to knee problems!

A typical day

I love to provide enrichment in the forms of play, grooming, sniff walks, trips to the dog park, and love. If allowed in the pet’s diet, stopping for a pup cup may be in the schedule! On hot days, i’d be super happy to take a well behaved pup on a hike to a creek to splash in. Your baby will be fully dry and cleaned up after all of the fun. If requested, I am also available to bathe and groom your canine friends either at home (with proper supplies!) or at Patton Avenue’s pet wash for an additional cost.

Quality care for your best friend

Pet care experience

I have lived with animals my entire life, providing me with years of dedicated pet care experience. Our past family pets include dogs, cats, a rabbit, ferrets, rats, a bearded dragon, a snake, and various insects. I also ride horses, so have basic equine care experience such as mucking stalls, brushing, washing, and feeding. I have administered oral medication to all of our larger animal breeds. I currently own two senior animals, a bloodhound mix and a small kitty. I only work with potty-trained dogs if they are adults, but am completely sympathetic with cleaning up messes from puppies and seniors who can’t help it.

Alistair was great to have taking care of our pups. Alistair gave us plenty of peace of mind that our two dogs were being well taken care of and loved on. We received plenty of pictures, videos, and updates which only reassured more for us that Alistair was going above and beyond measures to make sure our dogs were being treated amazing while we were away. Alistair was also very responsive and communicative and treated our space with lots of respect! We would definitely book again (:

Alistair took excellent care of our pup! We’re so happy with the communication & care of our dog/house. He treated our pup as if she was his own! We will be booking again!

I am Alistair’s mom and enthusiastically recommend him for pet and house sitting. Alistair has grown up around many animals (dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, rabbits, reptiles) and loves them very much. He has always taken responsibility very seriously, is honest, and is trustworthy. You will not find a person that cares more about the wellbeing of your beloved pets than Alistair.
