No diamonds. Dogs -our best friends

Pet care experience

Hello my fellow dog lovers and owners! My name is Alison and I am a 30 year old woman living in Brooklyn, NY with my 5 wacky roommates and our 2 precious pups. I have a college degree from CUNY City Tech in hospitality management which I hope to one day use towards starting my own pet-friendly hotel business for the animal loving travelers around the world. I grew up with my first furry best friend, Canuck (no, he was not Canadian), a Llasa Apso/ Jack Russell mix. He sadly passed away at 15 years old when I was in 3rd grade. Fast forward 8 years, and we adopt Benjamin, a 3 month old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier puppy from Missouri. My brother is highly allergic to dog fur, so luckily Ben is a hypoallergenic breed, which made him a perfect addition to our family. Ben lives on Long Island with my parents and brother, and he will be 14 years old in August. In our Brooklyn apartment, we have a mother/daughter duo named Bella and Summer. Bella is a 5 year old “shorkie” (Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix) with the personality of a cuddly cat, and her puppy Summer is a year and a half old “shorkie” (mostly Shih Tzu) who absolutely loves to play fetch and do tricks. They love to run freely at our nearby park and wrestle each other on the grass. I love to come home every day to them and get viciously attacked with snuggles and kisses.

Alison loves Animals. Her first was a Long Haired Guinea Pig named Maggie. Ali bathed her and she sat on her lap when Ali did her homework. Maggie got a friend, Shaggy. Then Cinammon, all rescues. She didn't leave them in their cages; they had free run time outside eating clover in the yard and a large area in the kitchen to run around while Ali did her homework at the table. Ali pet sat before she was out of Elementary School. She has pet sat for former landlords because she was attached to their dogs. She understands that Furbabies need more than just food, water and the occasional walk. She spends time playing or just cuddling up with them. She also understands that leaving an animal alone for long periods of time is not fair to that pet so being single she will not get a pet so it doesn't surprise me that she is applying to become a pet sitter. Additionally, Alison has an excellent work ethic and is very trust worthy. She is also discreet and will respect her employers space.

About Alison S.

Skills

25 years of experience
Can provide daily exercise

Information Alison S. would like to know about your pet

Allergies, any specific routines by their owner when it comes to feeding, former injuries or current injuries I should be aware of, medication, any past of aggression.

A typical day

Dog-friendly parks, boardwalks, backstreets, piers. I will always pack toys and games to play with the dogs to keep them entertained and happy, which makes me happy in return. I'd do some light running with the dogs to get them some exercise but not exhaust them. If it is bad weather, we can relax inside and watch some movies and have playtime and treats.
