Responsible and Adoring Dog Walker

Pet care experience

I recently moved to Brooklyn and have already been to off-leash hours at Prospect Park...without a dog. I am not exaggerating when I say that I might show up there soon with business cards, because I have already asked to pet nearly every dog I've passed as I walk around the neighborhood. If we've already met and you had somewhere to be... I apologize for that. My family has had a dog, Maxie, for ten years, and I basically treat her like a sister/angel. Sadly, she lives with my parents in the suburbs and my apartment is not pet-friendly, so I try to spend as much time as possible with other animal angels by way of pet care. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I love to walk, run, play, and cuddle with dogs. Occasionally, when the mood strikes, I'll put on some classical music and let the dog or cat in my care fall asleep to Tchaikovsky. I am eager to help you in any way I can, so please don't hesitate to contact me with any requests. I understand how worrisome it can be to leave your pet behind for any amount of time, so I am happy to send frequent photos, videos, and notes in an effort to soothe any anxieties while you are away. Your dog will be loved as though they are my own.

Walker's stay with Alison was one of the best dog boarding experiences we've ever had. Alison is responsive, responsible, and cared for our dog like he was her own. We had complete confidence leaving Walker with her on our six day trip across the country. Alison lives in a very clean/tidy group house right off of a beautiful community park. She kept us updated daily with pictures of him having the best time with Alison and her housemates. Alison kept walker on a consistent routine and took him to the park every day (sometimes multiple times a day). Alison is a wonderful person and we'd recommend her to anyone. She'll be the first person we contact from now on.

Alison took great care of our dog Logan! She is very friendly, responsible, and easy to communicate with.

Alison has watched our 8 year old golden retriever Bo on several occasions. Bo loves Alison! Alison is sweet, kind and very caring with Bo. She goes beyond what we ask of her when she takes care of Bo for us; playing with him for extended periods of time after his walk or giving extra belly rubs which he loves! She is also has stayed overnight in our home. She is independent and very conscientious. We feel very comfortable leaving Bo in her care for extended periods of time. We highly recommend Alison as a dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a trusted animal and house-sitter. I once met a neighbor and her dog in the park, and then a few days later, I was living in her home, taking care of her dog, for three weeks. I am a clean, careful, and considerate person, so your pet and home will both be in good hands. I am happy to provide references beyond the few comments posted on my profile.

Information Alison G. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any particular needs, habits, anxieties, or allergies, I would like to know! I believe that animals are not ours to control, but that we do owe them the best possible quality of life.

A typical day

I will try to keep your dog's routine consistent with what is familiar to them. If your dog likes to go for a walk around a certain neighborhood or park, I will try to do the same. If you think they might be up for an adventure, we can explore somewhere new.

I am starting a full-time job soon, and for now it is in-person, but that might change. It is possible that I will be able to work from home for some time beginning in September, which would allow for me to care for your pet in your home. Otherwise, unless your pet is an independent cat who just needs attention in the mornings and evenings, I am only available for full-time pet care on the weekends.
