Pet care experience

Boarding at my house- my friendly lab will befriend your pup & my teen daughters will pour love and affection on them. Please note- Unfortunately We cannot keep highly energetic dogs. The high energy level stresses Bean. We will go for at least one long walk (before the Texas heat hits) and play in a shady back yard in the afternoons. We have several antlers, bones, ropes and frisbees to play with. A little background: Our family has loved many pets, but have mainly been a pug family and our current dog- Bean the Lab and Snowy Not a Pug from the Austin Pug rescue. She thinks she is 2nd in charge. Most all our pugs were sweet senior pugs that needed some medical care. Bean had dog training lessons with at Train My dog in Austin.

Highly recommend Alison as a pup-sitter. Easy communication and she takes great care of Toby. Already planning to rebook with her again!

Wow! Alison made this experience so easy from the start. The communication was always prompt with constant picture and message updates. I trust her completely with my whopping 5lb little boy. I will definitely be using her again!!!

Alison was awesome! She took him on walks, played with him incessantly and sent lots of pictures. Super easy to communicate with and flexible. Our dog Max came home so happy! Would 100% recommend :)

Information Alison B. would like to know about your pet

Any aggressive or dominate/territorial behavior with toys? (Fyi-We feed all dogs separately and put food bowls up between meals) Does you pet get along with other dogs both small and large? Favorite toy or thing to play with?

A typical day

Walks in the neighborhood, treats, love/snuggles. We can play tug or fetch. There’s lots of snuggles and walks in the afternoon. I am conscientious of the Texas hot pavement.
