About
Dear potential clients, I would like to mention that I am a dedicated full-time care provider who offers high-quality, convenient, and personalized care around the clock. My rates reflect the value of my services.

For in-person meet and greets, we require small deposits to confirm the appointment. However, I am available for complimentary video chats or phone calls for interviews. Thank you for considering me.

My name is Aliyah Azizah, and I am an experienced caregiver and lifelong animal lover. Before my professional animal care career, I worked as a vet tech assistant and head kennel attendant at a private practice animal hospital. Throughout my life, I've volunteered at animal shelters, cared for friends and neighbors' pets, and worked professionally for ten years, including five years of animal care experience.

I grew up surrounded by nature and was fortunate to be around many family and friends who had a variety of furry friends. I was entrusted to look after Remy, a chocolate teacup poodle, from puppyhood, and I subsequently rescued Habiba, a black cat from the neighborhood. I continued to foster, raise, and re-home kittens for myself, family, friends, and shelters.

Here are a few things you should know about my services:

- I'm comfortable supervising well-behaved, trained dogs weighing 100+ pounds. I won't handle any mean or scary animals.
- I cannot handle your pet if you're unable to do so yourself, though I'm happy to help correct poor behavior habits as part of a team effort.
- I only work with friendly animals.
- I have never turned a client away and am always eager to work and help you.
- If your pet isn't housebroken, additional fees will be applied for boarding at my home, and I recommend house sitting instead.

I have experience caring for birds, fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, chinchillas, guinea pigs, cats, kittens, and dogs of all ages. Working at the animal hospital allowed me to learn a lot about animal behavior, hygiene, medication administration, senior animal care, and recognizing signs of illness, among other things.

When you leave your companion with me, you can rest assured that they'll receive plenty of attention, walks/runs, bathroom breaks, treats, and love. I have reliable transportation and can even run errands for food, bones, or toys if necessary. I keep nail trimmers, extra leashes and harnesses, and seatbelts for dogs in my car.

The photos in my gallery feature Rover and private clients, all taken by me or with me present. I usually take these photos during walks, extended stays, drop-in visits, feedings, or outings, whenever the lighting is good.

Lastly, I am currently on a break from college and focusing on self-education, caregiving, and freelance work in marketing and community outreach programs. I do not have any pets of my own, so I have more time and energy to devote to your companions. Animal care is more than a hobby for me—it's a full-time profession. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, and I look forward to meeting your family!

I highly recommend Aliyah as she's fantastic! She took excellent care of my two dogs, even the one with severe separation anxiety. Aliyah sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away, ensuring their well-being. Finding her was a stroke of luck!

For the past three years, Aliyah has been the only person I trust to care for my emotionally sensitive rescue dog, Aegon. Aegon suffers from severe anxiety and attachment issues, particularly when left alone by those who are always with him. However, Aliyah was able to coax him outside, and was extremely attentive to his needs throughout the day and night, even sleeping on the couch with him during my absence. I was delighted to see that Aegon had made a new friend he could rely on. Not only did she follow my instructions perfectly, but my apartment was also left in better condition than when I left it. For the first time, I was able to enjoy time away without worrying about Aegon, knowing that he was in capable hands. I feel extremely fortunate to have found such a compassionate and knowledgeable caregiver for my dog.

Over the weekend, I entrusted Aliyah with taking care of my Rottweiler, Zeus, who just turned one year old. He has a lot of energy and we struggled to find a dog walker who could handle him in the past. However, Aliyah's expertise in handling dogs made all the difference. Not only was she able to keep Zeus under control, but she also formed a great bond with him. This was evident in the happy pictures she sent us regularly. Aliyah kept us informed of all that was happening and we were finally able to leave the house without any worries. I am definitely going to use her services again whenever we're away and I will continue to rely on her as our only dog walker.

I am extremely grateful for Aliyah! Despite being booked on short notice during a holiday season, she managed to watch over my beloved pets. Given that my two dogs are quite hyperactive, her ability to handle them so adeptly was truly impressive! Additionally, Aliyah meticulously adhered to all of my instructions and even provided me with daily photo updates of my furry friends. I would without a doubt hire her services again in the future. Thank you so much, Aliyah! 😊
