Your dogs home away from home

Pet care experience

I have had both dogs and cats since birth. As an adult I have trained puppies, done senior care, given medications, feed, bathe, walk, and most importantly, play! I have worked with dogs up to 130 lbs down to 20 lbs, from 7 weeks of age to their end of watch. I am off work for the summer, so I will be home all day everyday that your dog is in my care. I may run errands, but will never be gone for more than 2 hours, so frequent play time and potty breaks are available. I have a large fenced-in yard with two dogs to keep your dog entertained while away from home. I have a large dog crate and can crate dogs if needed or prefered. I will be off work the entire duration of your pets stay so we can focus on play time during vacation!

Alison took wonderful care of our Norman. He literally did not want to leave when we went to pick him up! Lol. She was extremely detailed in taking notes to provide the best care while we were away and he is one worn out golden today! Her two dogs were also so sweet and got along well with ours! Would recommend Alison 100%!

Alison was a one of the most trusted sitters in the area. After having a terrible experience with another Rover sitter who let my dog off leash and get hit by a car and killed. Alison was very patient reassuring.. her dogs gentle with my other dogs little traumatized brother.. daily photos and great communication.

Information Alison E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can watch for and take care of. For example, my dog won't go outside alone on a windy day. Knowing these little details in advance will make sure your dog has the best stay possible!

A typical day

During your dogs stay, they will get to enjoy playtime with myself my two golden retrievers. Play time includes running through the large fenced-in yard, chasing balls and frisbies, smelling the scents of local wildlife, and playing in a kiddy pool or with the hose for water-loving dogs. We take walks through the neighborhood one at a time to get some one-on-one attention. Treats can be used for stimuli if approved.
