Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Allie. I truly am an animal lover! Since I was a kid, I've had many different pets growing up who I loved and cared for. I was always that kid who begged my parents to get a pet and their response time and time again was as long as I'd be the one to take care of it. Now, here I am years later still having as much passion, if not more about caring for animals. 4 years ago I rescued a puppy from a kill shelter down south (my first dog aside from my family's) and have learned so much throughout the process of watching her grow. She is a mutt but looks like a mini black lab. She has come so far since I got her both in her training and in her trust. I am a very patient person who always puts the animal's needs first. I know what it's like/the responsibility and dedication it takes having a dog. I also got a black lab puppy at 8 weeks old with my fiancé so I’m versed in puppies, all the way to adult dogs - big and small. My pet care experience is from my own pets (including bathing, grooming, nail trims, training sessions, etc) and also caring for family and friend's dogs over the years. Examples of care include: supervising pets and taking care of them in their owners' absence, grooming, providing food and water, taking dogs out for walk, taking dogs to vet appointments, administering medication, providing companionship, and following owner instructions. I pride myself on being empathetic, having the ability to work with animals, successful basic dog training tactics, positive communication, and being responsible and professional.
Reviews
Allison was excellent—my puppy was happy when I got home, & I appreciated her thorough report and consideration when it came to Winnie’s needs.
Allison kept Gracie happy, playing with her, seeing that she was fed and exercised, and keeping my house neat and occupied while we traveled. No problems. Happy dog.
My pup can be a nervous guy and I was so happy that Allison was able to put him at ease. She got him to eat which isn't always the easiest task and the pictures she sent showed him playing happily. He is an older dog with lots of needs but Allison worked around it perfectly and it was a great success between those two.
Allison was amazing! She showed up on time, was very professional, and treated our dog like her own. Not only did she just come to check in on our dog, she also reached out to get to know his likes and interests to ensure her time with our pup was a quality one. She was very detailed with her report and provided us with lots of photos during her visit. We loved having Allison watch our dog and would trust her with him again in a heartbeat. 10/10 recommended.

The care I provide to client’s pets is dependent on individual needs. I cater to each dog, as they are all different and do my best to make sure they are happy and well taken care of.
Information Allison D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. There’s no such thing as oversharing when it comes to your fur baby to ensure we are a good fit.
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. I love to play games with them, go smell all the smells around the yard, park or neighborhood, and even go on trail walks or runs if that’s something your dog enjoys.
