I work from home as a product designer. My work gives me plenty of flexibility to walk, play with, and tend to your dogs needs as I am home almost all the time. I am available weekdays and many weekends.
About Alma D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a good size fully fenced in backyard - with a full view of the yard through a large slider door. My own dog, Birdy, is a five-year-old hound mix who enjoys the company of other dogs. In addition to Birdy, we have a toddler. Due to this we are fairly picky with what dogs we take on - for her safety and your dogs!
Home
Information Alma D. would like to know about your pet
What type of exercise does your dog prefer or are they more of a couch potato? Let me know a little about your dogs likes and dislikes. I am happy to accommodate - every dog is unique and has their things :) Lastly, I'd appreciate knowing what you do and don't allow so I can reinforce positive behaviors and not encourage any undesired habits.
A typical day
A typical day would depend on your dog but could include 1-3 walks, as well as playtime in our fenced-in backyard. Your dog can be let outside anytime for bathroom breaks or sunny naps. I also enjoy taking my dog on regular walks at local trails & beaches (to be discussed with the owner in advance, of course!) If your dog likes to go for runs I would love some company - my own dog prefers to stop every other step to sniff. Of course your dog can opt-out of any and all activities :)

Pet care experience
I have been taking care my friends, family, and co-workers dogs for years. I've owned dogs most of my life and have spent a lot of time learning about dog training and care to give my dog (and yours!) the best life I can provide.
Reviews
Great help and perfect with our dog!
Hudson had a great visit and Alma shared just the right amount of photos and updates so we knew he was having fun and being a good boy - looking forward to having him stay the next time we travel!
I cannot say enough great things about Alma and her family. They took such wonderful care of Bear and sent many photos and updates along the way. It was clear Bear was treated like a member of their family while he stayed with them. I will absolutely continue using Alma to watch Bear moving forward.
Alma was a wonderful sitter & kept me updated to make sure my pup was comfortable! Super appreciate the meet & greet ahead of time as well!!
