Ratings and reviews
Alison is so sweet and has always been incredibly reliable . She offers pick up and drop off which is extremely helpful ,as I am l always really busy the day before travel and very tired the day after I get back. Our little Sophie can get anxious but always has a great time with Alison! ❤️
Alison is so sweet and always takes such good care of little Sophie. There were so many pics of Sophie running around in the yard with a big happy smile. It is so comforting knowing we can relax on vacation. 🩷
Alison is our trusted dog sitter. We have used her many times throughout the past 3 years. Leo loves her and I know he’s well cared for. She has become our first choice, even over friends, just due to her reliability, care for Leo, consistent updates and flexibility. Cannot recommend her enough!
Alison is the only dog sitter we use. Leo is always thrilled to see her, and I have zero worries when we travel. She’s reliable, sends great updates, and Leo feels completely at home with her. I had never used a dog sitter before, but after finding Alison, she’s our first choice over even friends and family. Could not recommend her more!
Alison is so sweet and Sophie loves being with her! We got so many happy pics of Sophie from Alison while we were away and was a great relief to know she was so well taken care of! 💗
Alison has a heart of gold and helped sit our dog when we really needed. She remained very flexible when we were dealing with multiple flight delays and didn’t complain once. If you think of our dog as your child like we do, I would highly recommend Alison

Schedule
I am a law school graduate who has fallen in love with the world of pet care through my experience with Rover during (the very dreadful) Bar Exam studies. Growing up, my family and I have had the pleasure of welcoming many pups into our home and have grown to care for them deeply. I had the privilege of caring for four rescue dogs (3 small breed Papillons mixes and one Golden Retriever/German Shepherd mix). Currently, I am raising a sassy 8 year old papillon mix who I rescued in 2017 from Rocket Dog Rescue in Oakland, CA. My pup and I love going on walks, playing games, cuddling, and me, giving & her eating lot of treats. She loves making new friends - humans & dogs while sharing her toys and treats. Although she is getting older, she still enjoys playing with other dogs when the mood strikes. Most of the day, she is lounging around and intrigued by all the activity around her. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, spending time with family, cooking and baking, and trying new restaurants.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I understand the importance of treating your pup like a member of the family. With your approval, I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I have experience administering medication, with the exception of intravenous medications. My own pup has undergone surgery (cataract removal in March 2020) and on daily medications, so I have some understanding of the special care that may be required for pets with medical needs. I have a multitude of encouraging ways to ensure that your pet takes their meds. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible for your beloved pet, and I hope to have the opportunity to do so. Thank you for considering me as a pet caregiver. I would be honored to care for your pup.
Pets
A typical day
As an early riser (around 5am), I will ensure that your furry companion starts their day with cuddles, a morning walk, potty break, followed by breakfast. Throughout the day, your pup will have plenty of opportunities for mental and physical stimulation, including lick mats, snuffle mats, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We will spend lots of time outdoors, weather permitting, and go for mid-day potty breaks to get some fresh air. In the evenings, we will go on another walk either before or after dinner. On the weekends, and weather permitting, we may visit Montrose Dog Beach or explore the city's parks and restaurants (with your permission, of course). Please note if it is too cold or too hot, we will be limiting the time we are outside for the safety of your pup and I. We will ensure your pup still gets the physical activity they would outside -- but safely indoors. I am dedicated to providing your pet with the best possible care and ensuring that they have a fun and fulfilling day.
