Pet care experience
My name is Ali and I have always loved all animals my entire life. I have had dog(s) as pets pretty much all my life except for when I was away at college. I have a trained and certified therapy dog who visits hospitals and schools as well as an adopted labradoodle, schipperke, rescue frenchie, and a foster goldendoodle. All my pets are very well socialized, neutered/spayed and get along very well with other dogs. I love to be outside with my dogs and I would love to spend time walking or making home visits with your pets for exercise, play , feeding and any other needs. I am also happy to work on any specific training exercises you may want your pup to practice while we walk or have home visits. I have spent a lot of time training my dogs and I am observant of dog behaviors and cues. My goal is to make sure your pet enjoys his/her exercise and is comfortable and having fun interaction, affection as well as working out some energy with some fun excercise and time together. I have learned so very much in the past three years training my golden doodle for therapy work. I am very comfortable with all breeds, ages and energy levels. Your pet and I will have a great time together and he/she will be well taken care of by me.
Reviews
Alison did an amazing job with Maui and made sure all her needs were meet! We got tons of pictures and could tell she got lots of loving. Alison really does care about making sure your pets are taken care of when you cant. We will be booking her again.
We have been using Alison for over 3 years now and could not be happier! She is amazing with our 2 goldendoodles and I never worry when she is walking or watching them. Alison is great because she is very involved and attentive to our dogs needs. Whether it is training through the puppy phase or if we are just working on the basics with our older dog. My dogs are always so excited for any time they head to camp Alison for an extended stay or she is coming to to walk them while we work. She has years of experience with her own dogs and I know she can handle just about anything my 2 can toss her way. She is responsive, reliable, and friendly. I would highly recommend her and glad we found such a great person to help out with our 2 fur-kids

Information Alison J. would like to know about your pet
First, I want to meet the pet and owner and listen to the needs of the owner and pet. After that I have some general inquiries to make sure the walks and playtime are fun, relaxing comfortable for your pet. Does the dog have any special needs for health or attention at playtime? Does the dog walk on a leash well? What kind of collar/harness /leash do you use when walking your dog? Is your dog social with other dogs? Do you allow your dog on your furniture/bed or not? Dogs are allowed on furniture at my house, but I will provide soft bed for dog in den and office if you prefer you dog not be in the habit of jumping on furniture. Is your dog crate trained for sleeping and when you are away from home? My goal is for your dog to have a relaxed stay/walk/ experience and get lots of loving attention from me while you are away.
A typical day
Neighborhood, Nearby Parks, Hiking Moss Rock. I want to work with the owner for their preference for walks and playtime. I have a fenced in backyard to play fetch, frisbee and other games. I also live in a great neighborhood and can walk you pooch for any distance up to 4 miles ( depending on your dog's normal routine).
