About: Dedicated Pet Owner who Uses a Gentle Touch to Make Sure All Pets Feel Comforted and Loved. I love all types of pets and they all have my full attention. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as both a responsibility and a rewarding part of my life. On a daily basis, I set aside time for feeding, walking, and playing with my pet, which also gives me a chance to unwind and be present. It becomes part of my rhythm. I provide individualized care and attention to my clients' routines in their homes to make sure their pets are safe and comfortable. I follow any specific instructions provided by the client.. whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise needs, or favorite toys. I can do it all!
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by animals. My love for them has inspired me to become a veterinarian. This past summer I have graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a Zoology degree in hopes to get into a vet school. Throughout my time in school and before I have been working with a variety of animals such as seals, raccoons, skunks, dogs, cats, etc. My father currently owns a ranch and I help with the animal care there. My life is very animal-centered and all I care is to ensure their safety and well-being. I am currently free all weekdays and sometimes on the weekends. So I have all the time in the world to focus on your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. Each pet is different and upon first interactions I try to learn their energy levels, how often they need attention, and understanding their body language. From there, I create a schedule that makes the dog most comfortable and content.

“We went out of town for two weeks, and we’re worried about our cats, one of whom is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day. We saw Alli’s profile and she had great reviews, and lived close to us. We felt very confident once we met her in person, and having just arrived home from our trip, I can say that she exceeded our expectations. Alli sent us videos, pictures and updates every visit, and I could see how happy the cats were with her visits. They are normally shy around strangers, but they greeted her at the door when she came over and loved her petting and attention. She also watered our plants while she was here. I would highly recommend Alli, and will definitely request her again when we next go out of town.”
