Meet your friendly pet sitter!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Aliza! (pronounced ah-lee-za). I have work experience as a veterinary assistant, but my caretaking for animals goes back to my childhood! I grew up around large dog breeds and helped my family pets with walking, housebreaking, crate training, feeding, basic first aid when necessary, oral medication, and overall love and attention. During my time in high school I volunteered with cats and dogs at my local humane society. I am also accustomed to working with horses as a western style rider during my free time. I have a diverse and experienced background with animals that will help me be a loving and proficient caretaker!
Reviews
Aliza is amazing! She is prompt, professional, and was very patient with my pup. She provided frequent updates and thorough notes. I felt comfortable with her caring for my pup, my pup was comfortable with her, and I would definitely use her services again, if needed.
Aliza is amazing! She was great with communicating, and definitely cared for our pups like they were her own. Highly recommend!
Aliza is extremely friendly and kind and accommodating. Very happy to have met her and have her care for my fur baby!
Aliza is absolutely wonderful and our pups love her! She is the definition of professional, thorough and trustworthy, and I would undoubtedly recommend her for all of your pet-care needs. She sends lots of cute pictures of the pups during her visits and keeps us informed of their well-being. She engages them in rounds of tug-of-war and also shows them so much love and attention. Our pups and us are so fortunate to have Aliza as a petsitter!

Safety, trust & environment
I can care for your pets in your home for daytime drop-ins/stays and walks (no overnight currently). I feel that a pet’s own home gives them a familiar environment to feel the most comfortable possible. If you have special requests or needs for your pet, please let me know! PS: I am always sure to be responsible when dog walking and picking up after they do their business, and I can keep a cat litter box tidy. Please be advised - for clients requiring key pick up/drop offs before and after drop in visits, I charge a $10 exchange fee to cover time and transportation expense. To avoid this, I may suggest creating a key copy I keep safe with client keys, obtaining a secure location for the key such as in a lockbox or with a neighbor, or picking up/dropping off from my location. Thank you for understanding!
Information Aliza G. would like to know about your pet
I think it's important to know the cat's or dog's general temperament and if there are any specific training methods I should be mindful of. I can respect your needs and try my best to implement them in my dog walking and care.
A typical day
I love walks around the neighborhood. I am open to suggestions, such as new walking routes in your neighborhood to keep your dog stimulated. If you would like playtime for your pet in your backyard (fenced-in yards only), please let me know. Loving gentle back scratches or belly rubs are adored by me if it is something your pet enjoys. I love playing with cats and dogs and engaging them with the toys you may have.
