My daily schedule is basically built around my two dogs, and caring for them isn’t something I would consider as “fitting-in”, they are my routine. My friend tells me that I have an “unnecessary amount of empathy” for my dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
I don’t care for my dog, or any pet, like normal people do. I treat animals as my kids and love to see them happy, healthy, and in a good home ( mine has the tv on when I go to work). If I’m caring for another’s pet, Sammy usually goes to his grandmas so your pet can have my full attention. If I am caring for a pet in a clients home, I’m flexible and will accommodate the pets usual schedule, plus anything extra such as taking them to the park, to Lowe’s or Home Depot to walk around, or a pet store. I have a mid sized SUV and I use a hammock in my back seat to prevent injuries in the event of any accidents.
Information Alison B. would like to know about your pet
There are so many things that are important to know ahead of time, some most pet owners don’t even think about. Such as, is your pet is temperamental towards kids, loud noises, anything with wheels, etc. or are there any triggers for aggressive behavior. Is your pet food aggressive? Does your pet not like to be petted or touched in certain areas? Is your pet aggressive with other pets/dogs, only likes females, or if they’re friendly with all other dogs? , I’d like to know how comfortable they are in new homes, if they can go up and down stairs with no issues, or if they have any allergies. There are so many things to consider, but I’m sure you get the idea.
A typical day
I like to take them everywhere with me, to the pet store, out shopping, to bars, other dog friendly stores, as well as Lowe’s, and Home Depot just to get some enrichment and exercise indoors if the weather is not favorable. There are several farm stores as well that I take my dog too, as well as frequent walks throughout the day, at least every two hours or so. There’s also two massive dog parks near my house within walking distance that are for small and large dogs, and they’re rarely crowded. If I were a dog and I was at home, alone or not, I would hate the dead silence. But that’s just me. I usually turn the TV on to whatever randomly shows up if I’m gone for a while or just step out for a few.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Alison, but most people call me Alie. I’ve grown up around pets my whole life—everything from hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits to cats, geckos, and of course dogs of all sizes. I’ve raised dogs from puppies all the way through their senior years, and I’ve also adopted shelter dogs. My early experience comes from helping at the animal hospital where my mom worked, and that taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and compassion in caring for animals. I’m 40, have a degree in Elementary Education, and work full time. Outside of work, I spend most of my free time with my own dog, Sammy. We go hiking, kayaking, walking in the woods, and even out on the river together—he’s truly part of the family. That same love and dedication is what I bring to caring for your pets. ⸻ My Care Style • I treat pets like family, making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and activity. • I follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. • Walks, playtime, and enrichment are always part of the day. • I can take pets on fun outings like park walks, trips to Lowe’s/Home Depot, or pet stores if requested. • Safety is a top priority—I drive a mid-sized SUV with a hammock in the back seat to protect pets during travel. ⸻ Availability • I work on Ft.Knox, I can walk and/or do check-ins on weekdays if you live on post (weekends also of course) • I live in Elizabethtown, I can assist in the surrounding areas before or after work hours, on my way to and from work • Weekends not limited and can accommodate anything including house sitting. ⸻ Helpful Info I’d Like to Know To provide the best care, I ask pet parents to share: • Any food or toy aggression triggers • If your pet dislikes being touched in certain areas • How they behave with kids, loud noises, or other pets • Whether they’re comfortable in new environments or around stairs • Any allergies, health issues, or special routines The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

Reviews
Ali is always awesome. My three cats love her and she takes great care of them.
Alison was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond—not only was she professional and attentive, but she even saved my plant after my cat had knocked it over. That kind of care and thoughtfulness really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with her help and highly recommend her!
We were nervous about leaving the girls with a non-family member. Once we met Allison and saw how she interacted with our critters, we knew she was the one for us. She did an amazing job. We loved the pictures and videos of her interacting with them. She picked veggies from our garden so they wouldn't go uneaten. She gave the front porch plants a much needed drink. Additionally, she handled an unexpected package with the care it required. She'll be our go-to sitter from now on.
She was so helpful with our girls and moving in! Will use Alison again.
