Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Al! 🐾 I’m a dog walker and trainer in training who loves getting dogs outside—whether it’s a long hike, group walk, or just burning off energy. I have experience handling multiple dogs and making sure everyone feels safe and has a great time. I love finding spots for dogs to swim, explore, or play fetch—if that’s their thing! In my other life, I’m a women’s sports photographer, so you can expect some pretty great photo updates 📸 My goal is always a happy, tired pup who had the best time!

Ally is fantastic. Smart, responsible, great with my dog. Also has experience with training. I was very comfortable having her live in my house for 5 days and take care of everything. Recommend her very highly!

Ally is the best! She knows my dog just as well as I do and cares for him better than I could ever hope to find in a pet sitter or dog walker. My dog loves her so much and is so excited to see her every time she comes. I don’t dread going to work or on vacation any more because I know my dog is safe and sound and happy as can be with Ally. She is very experienced with animals and knows exactly what they need and want. She loves them so much, and you can see it in the way she interacts with them. She is friendly and nice and so easy to work with too. She is always on time and prioritizes my dog’s health, safety, and happiness always. She is very communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. She is the best person to leave your pet with. I wouldn’t trust anyone else more than her.

Alison D. is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, and any pet would be lucky to have her as a sitter or walker! She has a natural way with animals, always making them feel comfortable, loved, and safe. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, Alison goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy and well cared for. She has cared for my pets multiple times, and I’ve always been amazed at the level of love and attention she gives them. She treats them like her own—making sure they get plenty of exercise, cuddles, and the best care possible. I’ve come home to happy, relaxed pets every time, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in her hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands and loves animals, Alison is the perfect choice! She is a truly amazing person and I can't recommend her enough!
