I work from home, and already spend my days with our dog, Bruce! We head out for a few walks per day, and he is always outside with the kids after school. We'd love to welcome another pup into the mix!

Information Alison & Damien S. would like to know about your pet

We have many years of experience with dogs of all sizes. I grew up with Cairn terriers and my husband always had rescue dogs. Together, we have raised a Bernese Mountain dog and a Bernedoodle. We love them all!

A typical day

We start each day with a big walk -- either in the woods behind our house, or around the neighborhood streets which are very quiet. It's quiet here during the day while kids are at school - just me and Bruce. Lots of potty breaks and time in the yard. The best time of day is when the kids get off the bus and run straight into the backyard to run around with the dog!

Ali, Damien, kids and Bruce the dog were great! Very kind and caring family that took care of our pup Chase like he was part of their family. Chase had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

Alison connects with pets, both dogs and cats, in a wonderful, primal way. They truly sense her care for them. My dog and companion, Schroeder, always greeted her with pure joy. You will find no better pet friend and care giver.
