Who else reads pup a bedtime story?

Pet care experience

Walkies, story time, treats and tuck ins. Morning tummy rubs and sleepytime tummy rubs. Hi, I'm Alison from north Delaware. I'm a grown-up lady who loves pampering pups and kitties, whether they're young whippersnappers or sublime seniors. I'm a freelance writer, so I can work from your home (wifi required) or mine, and still spend lots of time with your best friend. I've had dogs for more than 30 years and since my Gracie passed at age 16, I'm taking a break from pet-ownership so have lots of love and patience to share with yours. I prefer to stay at your place, where your pet is most comfortable, but I'm flexible. If you're looking for a cat-sitter, it's best to stay at your place -- for the cat and for a few of my family members who have allergies.

Thank you Alison for taking such great care of our boy Norman! Alison house-sat Norman,....who is a large 95lbs American Bulldog and kept him company and on his normal routine, which made him (and us!) very happy!! Alison sent me updates everyday so we could see how happy Norman was, and it was a great comfort. Highly recommend, and will definately be contacting Alison again when the need arises. Thanks Alison!!

Alison was absolutely amazing with our geriatric pup! Ellie needs lots of special attention and care. Alison was attentive and took such good care of her. We appreciate her so much!

We left our baby Daisy here for 4 days and actually were rather disappointed with the service. The day we dropped Daisy off, Alison asked us if we wanted “tons of pictures and videos” which we said yea please we have never left her before and got maybe one a day. Other than the lack of communication, our girl came home healthy, happy and tired.

Alison was a joy to work with for me, as an owner, but especially with Bitty, our 11 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Sent us pictures and updates, everything was perfect when came home. But most importantly she bonded with Bitty. Some Chessies can be a little aloof and quirky. But she won Bitty over! We’ll definitely have her again.

Information Alison K. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your pet has any special needs, is housebroken or not, is prone to chewing or not, has a tendency toward aggression or not. If it's a strong, big powerful dog, I need to know if he/she will behave on-leash.

A typical day

We can walk in city neighborhoods or country trails. Go to dog parks or keep to ourselves. Whatever your dog is used to is what we'll do.
