Experienced dog sitter will care for your pup!

Pet care experience

I am an all around animal lover living on my own in a DC row house. As a recent graduate student still on the job hunt, I am available often during the week and on weekends to take care of your pup! I live in the basement apartment of a townhouse on a quiet residential street. I don't have any dogs of my own, but during the day I sometimes care for my landlord's dog, Cooper, an adorable Australian Shepard/Golden Retriever mix who lives above me. If your dog is looking for companionship, he or she will love to play with Cooper in the day, or if your dog prefers alone time, they can enjoy my apartment as their own. There are a few great dog parks nearby and plenty of quiet neighborhood to walk around. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or are interested in having your dog stay with me!

Allison was great and would drop Colby off with her any time. She sent pictures and texted back to me how he was doing during the night.

Ali was fantastic with my little girl Saki (the chihuahua wonder!). I was SO nervous to be leaving the country and not personally know the individual I was leaving her with but Ali made everything so much easier! She sent lots of pictures and updates and I appreciated that more than she will ever know! I will definitely use Ali in the future!

Our dog had a great stay with Allison! We were very happy to know Bella was well-care for while we were out of town. Alli was flexible, easygoing and responded quickly. Thanks so much!

Alison was great! She kept me updated throughout the stay of how Rolly was doing and sent me pictures, which I loved. Rolly looked very happy and enjoying his time with her. I would definitely book again! Thank you!!

Information Alison S. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs of all breeds! I am a big fan of medium to large dogs, since I grew up with larger dogs and especially now that my parents have an absolutely amazing Australian labradoodle. I would like to know about any food preferences, allergies, behavior around other dogs and kids, and exercise routines. (Do he/she like to go with you on runs?) Having worked recently with my parent's new puppy on training, I am happy to keep up any training you are working on with your dog so they are better than ever with behavior and tricks when you pick them up!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in a quiet neighborhood area, called Eckington, with very little thru traffic. I usually walk my landlord's dog, Cooper, around the neighborhood, which is all townhouses. The Shaw dog park is about half a mile from my house, which is fun to walk to and play in. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog is welcome to sleep anywhere in the apartment, including on the couch or my bed with me, or they can stay in their kennel if that is what they are comfortable with. Time I'll spend with your dog I am a recent graduate student still on the job hunt. My schedule is still fairly flexible, and I am home during the day on some weekdays and most weekends, so I am happy to spend all that time showering your pup with love!

Why I love dog sitting When I was a baby my parents got our family's first dog, a beautiful Dalmatian named Zach, and I have grown up loving dogs ever since!
