Pet care experience

***Only HOUSESITTING, DOG WALKING or DROP-IN available! Mandatory in-person or virtual Meet & Greet before a booking is made.*** Pet Care Experience: 15+ year experience with rescue dogs, senior dogs, special needs dogs, and puppies. I have fostered over a dozen dogs since the pandemic ranging from 8 wks old to those in palliative care. Rest assure your pup is in good hands! Special Skills: Administering meds, following though with any existent training, puppy training, planning creative enrichment activities, and working through separation anxiety More About Me: Dedicating time by volunteering via fostering and advocating for rescues. Rescue isn't always pretty, but it sure is damn rewarding. Sometimes, the dogs that you save, in turn end up saving you in so many more ways than one

Alison did great watching our shy Dachsbund, Oliver. She sent daily updates, and showed she really cared. She was patient with him. Our house was left perfect. Would highly recommend.

Alison was awesome! We needed someone to watch our 15 week old puppy, Pinot, while we were away for the day and she did a wonderful job. You can tell she has experience with dogs because she took the time to understand our preferences for Pinot and helped make sure his schedule throughout the day was consistent. She was communicative, on time, and left our house super clean! Would recommend her; we will be using her again

Alison was terrific! She came through at the last minute, and took great care of our pup. Communication was perfect, and she even left some separation-anxiety puppy music on for our guy.
