Friendly neighborhood rufferee

Pet care experience

Hello. You can call me Allie. I have been caring for dogs and other pets for 18+ years and have experience with all sorts of breeds, sizes, life stages, and temperaments. I have previously owned dogs with special needs in their later years so I am familiar with medications/scheduling and various aid for different special needs, if necessary. I have two beagle mixes of my own (one with her own special needs) as well as several birds. I have in the past helped others with their small/caged pets so I can help with caged pets too if needed. If this is the case, please add and submit them as cats. Pets in my care will receive the exact amount of love and energy you tell me they need or want. All animals are different so I will follow any special directions provided and give updates on how things are going. Currently I am only able to help with drop in visits and walking. Some things to note~ Drop in visits- no territorial pups please! Safety for everyone involved is my top priority. Walks- I do not walk in very bad weather: over 90 degrees or under 30 degrees, or in heavy rain/thunderstorms. I have a pretty brisk pace and can cover around 1.3 miles in 30 minutes including potty breaks. Leisurely sniff walks are great too. They say mental stimulation is just as important as physical. Daytime/light hours only for walks. Feel free to reach out with any other questions and please do not worry about your pets in my care. I can assure you, when I am dealing with any animal, I treat it as my own and will alert you if I notice anything out of the ordinary.

Allie was enthusiastic in her role as Toby’s dog walker. She’s a sweet girl & Toby adored her!

My puppy loves Allie! Allie is so incredibly patient with her and it’s so sweet to see. Can’t wait to hire her again soon!

We hired Allie to walk our 7 month old puppy and she was amazing! She got all our girl’s energy out and was so patient with the puppy energy. Allie will be our first choice in the future, for sure!

Alexandra took great care of my pup! She sent lots of pictures and videos so I could tell my girl was in good hands and having a great time. Thank you so much!!
