Information Alivia M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any quirks about your animal. If they have to be leashed, like to eat trash, or if they’re special needs. I have not personally cared for a special needs animal, but I would love to learn!

A typical day

I love to go for long walks/ hikes. I also have a fenced in dog park only a short walk away! My dogs love doing puzzles, so I have multiple puzzles to have ur dog mentally tired.

Pet care experience

I specialize in high energy dog’s especially since I have a GSP/ Border Collie. I’ve had dogs all my life! I’ve spent so much time learning about dogs and different breeds. I have also worked at a boarding and daycare facility for almost two years. I’ve learned how to tell what your dog is thinking based on their body language. I do mostly boarding here on Rover! When I am working, I come home on my hour lunch break for a nice walk! A minimum of three walks a day is what I provide! My partner also helps with taking care of the animals! She’s a vet student at ISU with a bachelors degree in animal science plus going back to school to get her masters! Your animals are in great hands!
