Pet care experience

They're in good hands

I'm almost always here, and can provide whatever care is agreed upon. I can certainly work with training while they're here, if requested. I can be hands-offish or a helicopter, as you like. I don't take more than one dog at a time, unless a previous or private (non-Rover) client is asking, and I know the pets will get along. I have the ability to separate them completely, though. I will take up to 3 dogs if they're from the same family. Please just send me a request with your details; it never hurts to ask...

Allison is so easy going and always give updates. Our Basil is a big girl and a big baby we never hesitate to rebook Allison. If you are unsure trust me your hesitation is for nothing. Thanks again for everything Allison.

Alison was so awesome with our dog Ella. She sent pics through out the day. I would definitely recommend her we already booked our next visit with her. You can tell she loves her fur animals.

She was accommodating, communicative, and generally just very approachable! She returned the food and water bowl washed, and provided a clean and safe environment for Patches to enjoy. Patches took to her easily and I will be rebooking with her in the future!

As usual, I felt comfortable leaving my almost 17 year-old dog with Alison. I hear he even sat with her on the couch for a good length of time. She must be doing something right!

It’s so comforting knowing I can leave my very senior buddy with Alison. It’s great having a go to person I can trust with his care. Thanks as always, Alison.

I treat your pets like my pets, and that's saying something. I've got a private, safe (large) back yard to play in, and space in my home.

A typical day

We can throw the ball or run around or hang out and do nothing, whatever you like…. A walk-through the neighborhood would be fun too.
