About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family had a pit bull named Thiago and a small dog named Maya, both of whom taught me how to love and understand dogs with different personalities and needs. After getting married, my husband and I welcomed a Labrador named Apollo into our lives, and more recently, we added Cookie, our second puppy, after moving to the United States. Since it’s just the two of us here, Cookie has become more than a pet—she’s our emotional support and part of our family. My experience with dogs of various sizes and temperaments has helped me develop a deep sense of responsibility and compassion when it comes to pet care. I currently work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. At home, we have a daily routine with our puppy, Cookie—we take her out in the morning and around midday for potty breaks, and then again around 6:30 PM for a longer walk where she can play and have some fun. On weekends, we love taking her to the dog park so she can run around and socialize. I have open availability and can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, or just some good company. We live in a pet-friendly apartment complex near Citation Boulevard, a calm and safe area for daily walks. Our puppy, Cookie, is always walked on a leash to ensure her safety, and we’re very mindful of keeping her away from anything that could pose a risk. Her vaccinations are all up to date, and she’s regularly treated with Bravecto to protect against ticks and fleas. Your pet’s health and safety are very important to me, and I’m committed to providing a clean, secure, and loving environment at all times.

“Allie helped me out last minute on a holiday weekend and I am so grateful! She was polite and professional and easy to communicate with. I would definitely have her let Bear out again in the future.”

About: Hello! My name is Alainna - I adopted my sweet, Honey from an animal shelter 14 years ago. I walked in and asked for the dog who has been there the longest, sight unseen. Honey was perfect - I got her when I was 20 and as a mid 30 year old, having my best friend with me for over a decade was the most precious and memorable thing ever! Honey crossed the rainbow bridge in February 2024 and although I’m not ready for a full time best friend just yet, I feel a calling to love on many for a short time. I own an event planning company and work from home. We just got our yard fenced in and we are ready for visitors that hang outside with me and play while I work! I treat every animal like they are part of my family. If we are watching tv, they will be on the couch with us, outside in the back yard playing with our daughter, you better believe we will be playing catch with you fur baby. Starbucks trips - I will absolutely bring back a pup cup!
