I work a full time job M-F from home most of the time. There are days we’re required to be in the office but that doesn’t happen very often. I can make time during the day for walks when I work from home. I can also stop for cuddles and to play in the yard when we both need a break.

Safety, trust & environment

If caring for your pet in my home, they’d be welcome on top of all my furniture. Every corner has a pet bed available and ready to use. I also have quite a few pet caves your pet might love. I do have stairs leading up to my couch and my bed. I have a ramp available if needed too to get down the 1 step into my yard. If proving care in your home, I would be a pet care professional and only interact with pet care items. I would lock up after myself and follow any directions I’d been given.

Information Alison C. would like to know about your pet

I welcome a long description or instructions of what your pets needs are. Please let me know how I can match your level of care for your pets.

A typical day

I’d like to learn the pet’s routine first. Once I understand a typical day, I could branch out with my own activities like snuffle mats, puzzles, training games, walks, etc. I love taking pics too and would love to share those with owners missing their animals.

Pet care experience

My pup recently passed away but I had him for 11 years. He was a high maintenance fellow so I’m up for your high maintenance dogs too. I’m big on animals not being bored. Puzzles, games, walks, etc. Even senior pups can benefit from some snuffle mat work. Most of all I just want them to feel safe and looked after while you’re away.

I seriously can’t recommend Alison enough! Leaving Winnie with anyone is always a little nerve-wracking for our family, but Alison is the one person we trust completely. She doesn’t just watch Winnie—she loves her like she’s part of the family. Honestly, the feeling is mutual! Every time Winnie sees Alison, she completely lights up and usually tries to launch herself into her arms. Alison is amazing at keeping us updated with the cutest photos and videos, and she always makes sure Winnie gets plenty of long walks, playtime, and love. Every time we come home, Winnie is happy, tired, and so well cared for—and we get the biggest gift of all: huge peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Alison is the absolute best! 💛🐾

Alison has watched my male Doberman and my female Chihuahua mix and been a wonderful caregiver for them. She is very observant, and diligent, when walking a dog. She is also very kind and gentle when interacting with pets. I trust Alison with my pets, and my home.
