Dog Trainer in Training!
Pet care experience
I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and even a beautiful conure bird. My husband and I have been sitting since 2019. I was lucky enough to discover my passion while working at the Lynchburg Humane Society as an adoption counselor in 2018. There I learned how to handle animals of all shapes and sizes! In the years following, I have completed a basic obedience training course through Penn Foster Career College, as well as engaged in an internship program with Dog Days Pet Services inc. under certified behaviorist Ron Herbert. I’ve dedicated my career to helping other people rebuild their relationship with their best friends. Sitting has been a wonderful way for me to connect with others while gaining hands on experience with so many different pets. Also I mean, who can resist a job where you get to play with tons of animals all day? It’s a dream!
Reviews
Not exaggerating - Alliyah was an absolute angel! This was our pup Lucy's first time away from home for more than one night, and Alliyah did everything to make her feel comfortable and cared for. She sent us thorough updates and pictures throughout Lucy's stay, and was flexible with us when our travel plans changed at the end of our trip. When we reunited with Lucy, she got excited to see us again for about 2 minutes and then was her normal dog self - a great sign that she was doing just fine without us for a week! Plus she was tuckered out from all the playtime she got, and I can tell she already misses the new friends she made. Alliyah made us feel so at ease, which has alleviated a lot of stress about the summer travel we have planned now that we have such a wonderful family to watch Lucy for us when the time comes.
We had a wonderful experience with them; they were both professional and accommodating, even with our crazy schedule. Communication flowed seamlessly, and we particularly enjoyed receiving updates with adorable pictures of our furry babies. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will certainly book with them again in the future.
Alliyah did a great job with our girls! She’s sweet, professional and knowledgeable. She was on board with doing a meet and greet prior to booking which was a huge help. She’s got two sweet dogs of her own and knows just how to ensure new dogs are best able to acclimate to her home. Definitely recommend!
Alliyah was so kind and caring with my dog Thor. She reached out everyday to let me know how my boy was doing and to give me the most detailed updates. I felt so comfortable knowing how well he was being looked after. I highly recommend her services and will absolutely use her again in the future. Thanks so much Alliyah!!

I own two, four year old dogs at home. I rescued them both when they were about 4 weeks old. I bottle fed one of the puppies and aided the delivery of the other puppy. I have potty trained, socialized, and taught basic obedience to both dogs throughout the last four years. We also have overcome a handful of medical issues. I do have an infant son in the home as of March of 2022, at this time he will be my partner in crime for drop-in visits/walks throughout the daytime on weekdays!
Home
Information Alliyah W. would like to know about your pet
I would like to be aware of any medical issues as well as how the dog handles interactions between new people and other dogs. It is very important that dogs in my care work well with children. Any personality information such as favorite games/treats is also very appreciated!
A typical day
My daily activities mostly revolve around dogs! I personally take my dogs on walks 2 times a day if possible and frequently visit the Lynchburg dog park. Our favorite walk spots are Blackwater Creek trails and Percivals Island in downtown Lynchburg.

Availability
I spend the majority of my free time studying dog behavior and training as well as spending time with my two pups at home! I would love to gain more hands on experience while also helping others. If I leave the home, it is typically for no more than 4 hours a day.
