Highlights
Pet care experience
Single dog home boarding
Hello! We are a 2-person, child-free household and currently do not have any pets. We love dogs! We also understand the difficulty of finding boarding for reactive, elderly, sick, and diet-specific dogs. So we are here to meet that need! We would love to watch your extra-special needy pup and give them a vacation during your vacation! Professional and volunteer experience: - 3 years animal rescue and surrender employee experience at the Animal Humane Society. - Volunteer with AHS pet behavior and training courses. -Team Lead for Pinups for Pitbulls advocacy organization. Non-professional experience: - Raised with multiple large dogs in home. - 8 year dog owners navigating life with velcro-dog health issues and reactive dog training. - Regular dog sitter for friends and family. Sitting for multiple dogs at a time, dogs with special diets, health needs, and anxiety or reactivity. special note: We are not professional animal trainers and can not handle dogs who are actively aggressive towards men or other people (reactivity that can be solved by appropriate introduction is fine).
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alison has watched my lab, Ralph, multiple times, and I couldn’t ask for better care. He absolutely loves staying at her house! She has a great outdoor space where he can explore and burn off energy, and he’s free to relax inside as well. Alison truly treats him like her own, which gives me so much peace of mind. Every time I pick him up, he’s happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.
Alison and her husband Phil have been fantastic dog sitters for my boxer pitbull Zion. He seriously pulls me to their front door as soon as we get out of the car and walks right in like he owns the place. He knows where his favorite toys are and makes himself right at home, I know Zion is well cared for at their home because of how excited he is to go there and how happy he is when I pick him up. As a Richfield resident myself, Alison and Phil are the perfect distance from my home and have been very flexible with pickup and drop off times and they always send photo and text updates. They even took him to get a pup cup once. I highly recommend these sitters if you’re looking for responsible and kind pet sitters!

Schedule
Our work from home schedules are flexible with enough notice. When your pet is with us, we will be sure our schedules allow for the safest supervision of your dog. We are child free! Although we may need to leave the home for life things like groceries or meetings, we will do what we can to reduce your dog's alone time as much as possible, especially if they have separation anxiety. After all, they should be on vacation when you're on vacation!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our beloved now-passed Pit/Cattle Dog mix taught us a lot about patience and love. But finding boarding for him was always very difficult - he was overstimulated at doggie daycares, had a special diet, and needed a quiet home. That is what we are here for - we're here for the pups who need a house and need to be the only animal in the home. We are here for your senior dogs, your sick dogs, and your reactive/ scaredy-dogs. Our house is small, open, dog-proofed, and we have a fully privacy-fenced back yard that we will always supervise your dog in. We can walk your dog minimum once a day, and we love to give car rides if the dog likes them too (doggy seatbelt included!). We have different types of gates to adjust to each dog's individual needs (or no gates!). If your dog is crate-trained, please bring their crate with them, and their favorite blanket or toy. We are very comfortable with administering meds! Cancer meds, subdermal shots, cheese balls, or even the classic "rub the throat" trick. We will take all the photos and send all of them to you. We will update you at least once a day with updates or funny stories about your pup's adventures. We have a toy bucket for every pup to help themselves to! PupCups are included if owner-approved! Finally, we will shower your pup with love!
A typical day
Your pup will be on vacation! While we love to laze around, we will take your pup on walks around the block or at one of the many parks nearby. If your dog loves car rides, we will be sure to take them for a pup cup! We will play games in side and rough house outside in the back yard!
