Pet care experience

All dogs are good dogs!

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.

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 is a fantastic, caring and communicative dog sitter with a wonderful home. Our dog became comfortable very quickly, and we look forward to many future stays!

My pup was well-looked after by Alma. Skipper felt safe and was happy to meet other pups in the house!

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!

Pets

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 :)

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.
