Let's go on a long walk in the park

Pet care experience

I have previously cared for my family's dog (6 yrs) and now have a pup of my own (1 yr)! I have experience with all the chaos that comes with puppies and high energy dogs, and have trained my own dog since he was 8 weeks. I also have experience with low energy dogs and those that like to take things slower, as well as reactive dogs. I am very active and have a well socialized dog that would love to join your dog on a walk or playdate (or not, that's fine too!).

Allison was great with Boone. Needed a couple of visits to attend an event and all went well. We will definitely use her services again.

Allison was great with Boone my chocolate lab. He is a big strong goofball and she handled him well. I got updates and a summary of visits. Boones got a new buddy and he will see her again!

I would highly recommend Alison as a pet sitter. She has owned both cats and dogs over the past 15 years. She is knowledgeable about the needs of both cats and dogs. She is caring and responsible, the exact combination you need for working with pets. You can be sure that your pets will be well cared for and well loved if you leave them with Alison.

Let me know if you're dog has any interesting behaviors so I can be mindful of them. Please let me know if your dog is not a fan of other dogs.

I enjoy finding new places to take the dogs. I like to keep them mentally stimulated by teaching new tricks and using positive enforcement to encourage good behavior.
