Giant to small-I love them all!

Pet care experience

I've been a dog owner and lover my entire life. I treat dogs as I would treat my child: I give love, attention, food, activity and teach them. Throughout my life, I've had a white German Shepherd, a Rottweiler and my most recent baby was a 150lb fluffy English Mastiff. Sadly, I had to put my baby to sleep this past January. She was 10 years old and lived a wonderful life but at 10, she could no longer walk without being in pain. I made the hardest decision of my life and let her go because I loved her too much, to let her suffer. Seeing this opportunity, showed me I could give that same love to other people's dog children. I truly believe having dogs back in my life, will fill the void in my heart that has been there, since I had to put my "Lady" to sleep. Dogs bring a sense of peace, love and joy to my heart and mind.

I would highly recommend Alison as a dog sitter. She has an enormous love for animals, especially dogs. Your pet will be in good hands.

Information Alison D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: 1) temperament 2) level of training 3) are they current with all vaccinations 3) do they get along with other dogs/cats 4) how well do they walk on a leash and are they aggressive towards other dogs while on walks 5) is the dog good with children 6) I have no breed preferences-- I love them all!

A typical day

I live next to a fenced in field and also close to the beach. More energetic dogs can walk to the beach and back. Lower energy dogs can either have fun playing ball/frisbee at the park or we can drive to the beach and take a lovely walk there. There is also a dog park within a few miles from my house. I'm also a sucker for a dog that likes to snuggle. I'll let them sit on my lap and cuddle all day, if they want.
