Pet care experience

I grew up the daughter of the town's well known and beloved "crazy animal lady". I've been in close contact, caring for, and passionate about all kinds of animals since I was old enough to close a kennel. In my very long history of household pets and temp fostering I've had the privilege of caring for cats and dog, snakes, small crocodiles, racoons, squirrels, owls and other small birds, iguanas, and fish. I've loved them all for their special personalities and will always put their wellbeing first when I get to spend time with any creature. I'm a true animal lover at heart, a caregiver by nature, and a problem solver by trade =D

Allison expertly managed our dog's’ complex feeding schedule and medication routine with meticulous care. She communicated very well, providing updates and reassurance about our dogs’ well-being. Her attentive and personalized approach made us feel confident that our dog was in safe and caring hands.

Rover needs to remove the cap on tips. Alison deserves so much more! Being able to travel worry free is priceless to me! Thank you so big sweet girl we are so grateful to have found you! XOXO

I boarded my 8 month old Australian Shepherd with Alison for 2 weeks. She took great care of my boy. Communication was clear & easy and she sent pictures and videos every day without miss. She was very patient with my high energy dog and met his exercise needs. Her dog Cleo and cat Boots are very friendly and great companions. I need not think twice to leave my dog again under Alison’s care and would definitely recommend her to others.

Information Alison H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how to best care for your babies! My goal is for them to maintain consistency in their routine and care. What are their favorite treats? How many per day? Are you training them to do something? How do you approach it? What special needs or behaviors should I look out for? What are they allowed and not allowed to do? Are they good walkers? How do you correct them and what for? Should I do the same? Any and all details will help me provide the best care! No instruction is too much ; )

A typical day

During walks we'll get to say hi to all the neighbors that might happen to be out and about - lower greenville is a hot spot for pet parents. I have a park a block away where we can get some exercise and explore all the new smells! We'll play lots of games and dance around if things get dull!

Availability

My day job is done from home, I have a flexible schedule, and I'm a night owl, so I'm able to accommodate all types of schedules and regimens. My family and 'tribe' don't live in Dallas, so I spend virtually all holidays and long weekends doing my own thing (a.k.a. staying home and chilling). I have a very social Pug princess: Cleo who loves making friends with all species and gets 2 walks a day - mornings and evenings; and an indoor friendly feline: Boots (a.k.a. Fatzo) who's a sweetheart that doesn't mind other animals. Our home and environment is accommodating for guests of all species!
