K9S ARE THE BEST, ARE THEY NOT?
Pet care experience
Simply put, I love dogs! In fact, I like dogs more than people as a general rule. You are with me there, aren't you? The unconditional love. Dogs don't ask more than you can give. The tail wag when you arrive home. Who could ask for more? Why I am asking for these rates with so few reviews? HERE is the answer. Yes I live in Vallejo but I lived in Moraga for 9 years until 9/2018. Go to zip code 94556 and check me out on Rover there bc I am still dropping off and picking up dogs there. You will see over 200 reviews of me there. But then come back to this zip code please as I am trying to build up my reviews where I live. I grew up with dogs. After I got married, I took care of my childrens' friends' family pets when they were on vacation. Soonafter people would see me walking dogs and I was off and running. I love being around puppies and dogs. I have been charging people for dog day care or overnight, I would say, for 7 years now. I can easily provide you with references upon request. I support rescue organizations. I pick up lost dogs on the street and find their owners.
Reviews
Alison took excellent care of Oden and constantly kept me updated with photos and videos of him playing and having a great time. When there was a totally random health issue during his stay she took him to the emergency vet and waited overnight to take him home. I would highly recommend leaving your pet with Alison. I know I will in the future.
Allison was very easy to work with and our pups had a great time at her house (aka doggie paradise!). We would definitely leave our pups with her again next time we visit Napa!
**WARNING** The house is like a playground for dogs. Good and Bad. No supervision = Injured Dog. Sick Dog. Many times my dog was sent home with fleas, flea bites, and Giardia 2 times. My doggie had no other contact with dogs besides in her care since he is a puppy. The danger you put your dog through is not the sitters responsibility, it’s your responsibility to pick better suited people to care for your dog. Very expensive vet bills meds due to Alison’s negligence. GAVE MY DOG MEDS WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. Attempting to hide/clear up yet another round of Giardia and diseases he contracted under her care. The house appeared to be dog-proof when I inspected it. Must have been staged. She lets the dogs eat, chew, and do whatever they want. Alison will demand you give her cash for items “your doggie” damaged such as hair dryers, sandals, couch covers, etc without proof your doggie did it. The solution should be supervise them better and monitor their activities from time to time. Felt like I prisoner of the Doggie Underworld. Some may like this sitter. I like her too, but as a person not as a sitter. Her actions should be considered animal cruelty and not doggie care.
Our frenchies Henry and Arlo had an incredible time with Alison! She was very thorough in her questions, which just meant that she cares so much for them. The boys had an awesome time with her and her backyard that they were worn out by the time we got home. Highly highly recommend!

Information Alison A. would like to know about your pet
I will not care for pit bulls or pit bull mixes, only because I have had bad luck with them, Also no german shepherds. Other than that, I am open to any breed. I have learned quite a bit about the breeds through my years of caring for them and can now distinguish between a labradoodle and a goldendoodle before I ask the owner what kind of dog that is!
A typical day
I would go on neighborhood walks. Of course i would tailor the walk to your dog. If it is elderly and the walk needs to be shortened, no problem. If the dog is a pug, for example, the walk would need to be shortened in hot weather or with poor air quality or perhaps there should not be a walk at all. I have the toys for fetch, tug-of-war, frisbee. I am careful not to let dogs schew and swallow the toys.
