Alison is always so kind and inviting for our pup. He has the best time with her. This was the longest we've been away from our pup and she made sure to keep us updated with notes and pictures along the way. We feel comfort in knowing that Hugo is well taken care of. Thank you!

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.

Information Alison C. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the best possible care for your furry companion, an intake questionnaire will be required for all bookings. We take pride in providing top-quality, at-home care and strive to treat them as if they were our own during their "paw-cation." We look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved pet and provide them with a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

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.

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.
