Information Alison S. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any specific habits or needs your dog may have—such as dietary preferences, feeding schedules, medication requirements, or behavioral quirks—so I can provide the best care possible. I'm comfortable administering both oral medications and injections if necessary. I have two dogs of my own, and their safety—as well as your pup’s—is my top priority. Therefore, I require a meet-and-greet prior to booking to ensure compatibility and comfort for all involved. When your dog comes to stay, please bring their favorite bed or blanket, toy, and treats, along with their food, bowls, and potty bags. This helps maintain their routine and provides comfort during their stay.

A typical day

Your pup will enjoy sunbathing on the deck, unlimited potty breaks, and ample playtime throughout the day. We also have a long evening walk followed by treat time and cuddles.

Alison and Brian took wonderful care of my pup! Their communication was quick and they sent multiple photos and updates daily. They met with us beforehand so that I could see their home and yard, and my dog could meet their two pups. They definitely took great care of her!

Leaving Blue with someone new was really hard for us, and trusting a stranger with your dog isn’t easy. From the very beginning, though, Alison and her husband made us feel completely comfortable and confident. They were so kind, attentive, and reassuring, and it was clear how much they genuinely cared about Blue. Blue absolutely loves going to their house and is always happy and excited when he’s there, which means the world to us. We also really appreciated the constant updates and photos. It helped ease our nerves knowing Blue was in great hands. We’re truly grateful to have found them. Highly recommend.
