Pet care experience

When I was 4 years old I convinced my mother to let me adopt a stray cat. Not much has changed since then! I've had just about as many animals as you can name throughout the years but dogs have always remained closest to my heart. I've been a foster for a few years, mainly asking for the dogs that are difficult to place. It's been the most rewarding experience I could have asked for. Although I'm just getting into the pet sitting realm, I've watched my family's animals for years while they've been away. Everything from reptiles to Dachshunds to Great Danes. I also volunteer for a rescue organization that transports animals from one part of the country to wherever their forever home is. In truth, I tend to like animals more than people. I would love the opportunity to care for yours.

Alison was great! She took wonderful care of our dog and sent us constant updates and pictures. Her dogs are so sweet and my dog loved playing with them. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.

Allison was great, easy to communicate with and took good care of our dog. She sent us lots of pictures to keep us from missing Iris too much while we were gone

My girl had such a wonderful time. Got a lot of updates and knew the whole stay how much she was enjoying her time. A overall wonderful experience.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced in yard, a small Rottweiler, and now a Great Dane puppy(!) that live with me full time. They love everyone and are looking forward to keeping your doggos company for the duration of their stay. I have the ability to keep them separate if your dog does not play well with others and I have no life so I will be home with them unless I have to run a quick errand. I have an extra large and a small crate as well as a slew of baby gates. I also have a spare bedroom that's connected to my office so if you're pupper needs some alone time he or she is welcome to hang out there. I only ever have guests with 4 legs. 😉

Information Alison M. would like to know about your pet

I am more than willing to work with any animal. I only ask that you disclose any behavioral issues that you have either witnessed yourself or heard about from a third party before your pet gets to me. I want to make sure that everyone is in the safest environment possible.

A typical day

My doggos will do a lot of the "work" for me. Lol! They love to play and I love seeing them make new friends. We may go to the park or out for a hike depending on the weather or we may just snuggle on the sofa.
