Information Alison L. would like to know about your pet

Please do let me know if your doggy is not house trained (that's not a problem at all! I just want to know :), as well if there is any dietary requirements, how frequent to feed them or if they need certain medication etc.

A typical day

I would like to play fetch with your dog and pet and brush your animals along with frequent walks. I am happy to bath them too for an extra fee. I've bathed both cats and dogs.

Pet care experience

I've had pets since I was a little girl. During college, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant as a part-time job and have always pet sit. I have a lot of free time during this stage of my life and my work is extremely flexible. I would love to take care of your animals while you're away!

Alison is great!! She drops in during the week to play with my dogs and let them out for a potty break. They love to see her. She’s a great communicator, reliable and sends lots of photos of the puppies. Highly recommend.

Alison is phenomenal! A lot of pics updates and my ever so wary pups get comfortable with her after a couple of visits.

Alison is very patient learning and getting used to know my pups. She gives a lot of updates, cute pics, and questions for more care details. Will definitely book again ;)
