Pet care experience
I love animals of all types, so much that I have pursued a career in zoology, ecology and evolutionary biology. I have been watching dogs on and off for 14 years and fell in love with them, so finally adopted one of my own five years ago, my Pomeranian Rufous. I lost him to kidney cancer recently, and am eager to fill that hole in my heart by caring for your dog. I have a cat who tolerates my dog habit very well. I work mainly from home, although I do go in to the University of Portland for in person work on Wednesdays. I prioritize dog-friendly social activities so my clients can join in! I like to hike, run, go to the beach, or just go for looooong walks around Portland. Nearby dog parks- Irving, Grant, Laurelhurst, and I always love going to Mt. Tabor.
Reviews
Allison stayed with our senior dog Kiki over a long holiday weekend that ended up being very icy. She not only cared for Kiki and sent cute photos but also made sure our house was kept warm and safe during the bad weather
Allison took wonderful care of our dog, Coco, and our house while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her for future dog sitting. Thank you!
Sophie and Beren were well cared for under Allison’s watch! She communicated with me and my friends about exchanging keys and making sure there was no accidental lag in the pups’ care. I felt very comfortable heading to the other side of the world knowing my pups would get lots of snuggles and love!
Buddy had a great time at Allison's house. When we returned after our initial meet & greet, he eagerly bounded upstairs to enjoy his vacation with her. We were very happy to receive photos while we were gone...especially Buddy happily snoring on her bed. Thanks Allison!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat my clients' dogs as I treated my own. They can hang out with me in any room of my home or out in the yard, though they will have to be leashed since my yard is not fenced. We will go for walks or to the dog park, whatever works best for my clients!
Information Allison F. would like to know about your pet
For daycare, I would like to know how well your dog gets along with cats and other dogs, since I have a cat at home, and encounter a lot of dogs while out walking. For walks and drop ins, I would like to meet your dogs with you before the first time.
A typical day
I like to walk around the Sullivan’s Gulch, Irvington, and Grant Park area. We could go to a fenced dog park if your dog likes to play with other dogs! Otherwise plenty of time for cuddles and play at home.
Services
Allison can watch in your home
Availability
My work from home schedule allows plenty of flexibility! I can usually accommodate your dog’s routine. I wake up at 8, so the early birds may need to get used to that.
