Pet care experience

Downward Dawg ✌🏼

I started a pet sitting business as a child when my parents wouldn’t get me a dog. I had hamsters and fish growing up. I bought my first dog Jovi in college and found my second dog on the streets of Missouri. They each lived well into their teens (Jovi was 18 when she passed). Now I am pet-less and looking to share my animal love with your fur babies. I am a registered dietitian and yoga instructor, so I know alot about health and anatomy. I familiar with giving oral and injectable medications.

Alison is an amazing person and wonderful with animals! She took such amazing care of you my dog while we were moving. She took plenty of photos and really included Lylia into her life. My dog can be a bit anxious away from home but she felt right at home with Alison:)

We introduced our dog Kahlua to Alison one month prior to his three night stay. Kahlua explored the house and yard and approved. Upon dropping Kahlua off for his stay, we were greeted by another dog and which they got along fine. We were a little uneasy leaving him, but Alison sent pictures and short videos which put our mind at ease. Alison was very friendly and Kahlua got along with her well. Will definitely use her in the future.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 14, 2026

Alison was very helpful with a short notice check in with our pups. We were out for a while and it helped knowing that someone was coming by to check in. We received pics and a video and Alison texted before she left to make sure we didn't need anything else.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 07, 2026

Alison did a great job with drop-in visits for my two dogs. She gave prompt updates and worked with my one dog who was reluctant to have a new person take care of her.

I work down the street from my home so I am able to pop out over lunch if need be. I have a vehicle and can travel. My weekend availability varies, but I keep this profile up to date.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a charming 900 sq ft home that I have shared with many pets! I have a doggy door so they can access the fenced in yard easily. I am very active so I like taking long walks with pets if that is their preference. I live near several walking paths and parks.

A typical day

Whatever your pet’s desire! I’m happy to play fetch for hours, take long walks/runs together, chill on the couch, go on hiking or outdoor adventures, or just give scratches, cuddles, and pets.

My yard is fenced but some places smaller dogs can slip through. Please let me know if your dog is a master escape artist so I know to either leash walk them or accompany them at all times in the yard.
