Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is my top priority! Every dog is different, so if there’s anything I should know before our walk, whether they’re reactive, easily startled, like to pick up mystery snacks off the sidewalk, or have any allergies, I’d love to know. That way, I can plan ahead and make sure they have the safest and most enjoyable walk possible.

Information Alison R. would like to know about your pet

Thank you for trusting me with your pet! To provide the best care possible, I’d love to learn more about their personality, preferences, habits, and needs. If you could share any important details about their routine, diet, or food allergies, I’d really appreciate it. I’d also enjoy hearing about any quirky behaviors, favorite toys, or little habits that make them unique. When you’re away, I want you to feel as connected as you’d like. Would you prefer photo updates, quick check-ins, or detailed summaries? Just let me know what makes you feel most comfortable, and I’ll be happy to keep you in the loop.

A typical day

I live in and primarily walk around the Mission Bay area. If your pet has a favorite walking route or enjoys visiting one of the local dog parks, just let me know! I’m happy to customize each walk to what they enjoy most. I’m also happy to spend quality time with your pet at home! Whether that means playing with their favorite toys, giving them plenty of attention and affection, or simply keeping them company.

Al’s Pals – Your Pet’s New Friend

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Alison, the person behind Al’s Pals! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with four dogs (plus plenty of other furry friends), so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. While I haven’t always had a pet of my own because of frequent travel, I’ve loved caring for pets for family and friends and have spent years volunteering at local animal shelters. I know every pet is different, and I love getting to know their unique personalities. That’s why I specialize in one on one walks, so your pet has my full attention from start to finish. Whether they love to stop and sniff every tree, enjoy a brisk pace, or prefer a slow and relaxed stroll, every walk is tailored to them because it’s their walk, not mine. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing, or simply keeping each other company, my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. You’ll always receive plenty of updates and photos, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family member and become someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand!
