Dr Phillips Alma Doolittle!

Pet care experience

They say some people come into your life for a reason, and I believe that! I recently met someone who loved dogs every bit as much as I do, and as we were talking she told me she works full time through Rover. I knew immediately that I had to sign up, because I have an absolutely eternal love for dogs! My spacious home is ideal for four-legged friends and I would love to be your dog’s home-away-from-home. I’m an empty nester who lives in a 5-bedroom home with my 9-year-old terrier/schnauzer mix, Bugsy, as well as 2 rescue cats, Hamlet and Remy. I live on a lake with a fenced backyard and a dog door so my animals can always access nature when they need to! I’m also kind of a crazy animal person. I’ve had animals for as long as I’ve been alive, and I believe deeply that it’s our responsibility as their human family to take care of them until their last breath. I’m patient, loving and know how to communicate with animals (and humans!). I have trained all my animals to the same level as a service animal, and I’ve even trained my young kitten to ride on my shoulder as I take Bugsy around the neighborhood for walks! I live in Bay Lakes, which is a subdivision the Dr Phillips area of Orlando. The neighborhood located right off Sand Lake Restaurant Row, in close proximity to SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Disney. My neighborhood has a terrific park located between 2 lakes, which is within walking distance from my home. For your peace of mind, your dog will never be alone. I’ve sectioned off several rooms in my house for the dogs to stay in and each room is equipped with a camera! That means even when I’m not home, I can check on your pup and make sure everything is ok. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take care of all animals in my home. I am a very kind and loving soul and animals feel it. I can create a bond with a dog very quickly because dogs figure out my good vibes right away!

I am so happy I found Alma on Rover. I was going out of town and needed to find someone to care for my Rudy. Alma was so thoughtful and responsive. She sent photos to put my mind at ease. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing Rudy was in excellent caring hands. I returned to a happy dog! Thank you Alma! I will definitely book with you again.

We had used Alma's service about 6 yrs ago. We had an upcoming trip and were beyond excited to see she was still on Rover. I reached out to her and once again she delivered. Our babies are our world and they don't get left with just anyone. We had added another addition to our family, Sire and wanted Alma to meet him. We arranged a meet and greet, booked the babies stay and left for our trip. Alma communicated with us every day via pictures, text and they cutest greeting videos. She has the most amazing doggy walk, an air conditioned suite set up for the babies, TV and outdoor fully fence in play area as well. I also had very specifics request for each one of the babies and she honored them fully. When we picked up our babies they were very happy, clean and visibly very well cared for in her care. We couldn't of asked for anything better:) If you truly want top of the line care for your babies, peace of mind while your away and happy babies upon your return. You want Alma and I recommend her services 100% (Thank you Alma:)

Barry had a lot of fun with Alma and the other dogs. She has a great set up, inside the “doggy room” and in her fully fenced yard. She kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay and was responsive to any questions we had.

Information Alma V. would like to know about your pet

I want to ensure your dog will get along with my two cats and one male schoodle! I am patient with behavioral issues but the more I know, the more I can help! Please note, I do not take Pit Bulls or Chow Chow dogs.

A typical day

A typical day with me involves waking up to lots of love and hugs, followed by a trip outside. Then we’d have a little dog treat, a full breakfast, and go for a proper walk. After some fetch, we would settle in for the morning, when your dog could play, relax or nap. In the afternoon, we would send some pet selfies to you, go for another walk, and maybe head to the park! In the evening, we’d have dinner, watch TV together and cuddle, then finish up with one last walk before bedtime!
