Availability
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
My pup was well-looked after by Alma. Skipper felt safe and was happy to meet other pups in the house!
Alma was a wonderful, caring sitter for our 11-year-old lab mix. He came home happy and exhausted from a fun three days. We are grateful to have found a safe and loving place for our boy to stay when we go away.
I couldn’t be happier with Winston’s care while I was away on vacation. Great communication and wonderfully attentive.
Totally accommodating and wonderful with our pup. Our three legged dog Cricket had a great day with their dog playing in the back yard and napping on the couch. Thanks again!
