Caring for your pet like my own

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life, mostly family golden retrievers. I personally understand the importance of reliability and what would be expected to me with your pet(s) in my care. I have personal and professional experience with walking, feeding, playing, and long term care. I have experience with dogs and cats alike. With two dogs at my parents’ home whom I miss dearly, it would be a genuine pleasure to help with your pets! **I am so excited to start taking clients on this app, as I have off the app for years prior. Please don't mistake my few on-app reviews for a lack of experience or passion. I am here for you and am eager to help!

Alison is always a great help with Jake. This time she helped assist me in walking and dropping off my dog at the boarders nearby since I had missed them before an early train.

Alison was great with my babies. She sent lots of pictures and both dogs came home happy and tired! I would definitely request Alison again! I know they got a lot of cuddles!

Allison is lovely, and my pup had a great time with her!! She was very conscientious of special requests and kept me updated with adorable photos the entire stay. She's communicative and easy to work with, and she clearly loves dogs and treats your dog like her own. I'll definitely be booking her again!

Allison was a great rover for Jake. She answered my question and accepted my booking in a decent amount of time. Communication was on point and she sent photos. A great rover to help with your dog.

Information Alison H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your preferences for how your dogs should be interacting with other people and dogs. It’s important that your dog is within their comfort zone and that you feel I understand your dog. I understand that many pets, especially rescues, can have sources of trauma and anxiety. Please also let me know these so I can avoid them to the best of my ability and best ensure your pets feel safe.

A typical day

I can’t wait to hear what is familiar and fun for your dogs!! My favorite place to go on walks is in parks away from the busyness, uproar, and overstimulation of the city. I love to go on little jogs to stretch dogs’ legs, or to just jostle with a favorite toy. I like to end the day with a thorough and relaxing brushing and combing.
