Pet care experience

🐾 Play • Stay • Ride 🚐

With over 15 years of professional animal care experience, I take pride in providing both pets and their owners with peace of mind. My background includes daycare, boarding, grooming, training, and nationwide animal transport, giving me a well-rounded understanding of how to keep animals safe, comfortable, and stress-free in any situation. I’m USDA registered, fully insured, and certified in Pet CPR & First Aid. I also maintain 24/7 access to a trusted veterinarian, so every pet in my care is protected no matter where the road takes us. When you trust me with your pets, you can expect reliable, compassionate care from someone who treats every animal as if they were their own—backed by experience, training, and a true love for what I do.

Alison maintained good communications and updates throughout the boarding. She took care of their needs as instructed, overall the entire experience went smoothly. My boys seemed to be in great energy when I picked them up and I would highly recommend Alison to look after their fur babies. Thank you!

If you are looking for someone to love your furbaby stop right here! Allison made my babygirl feel right at home. She was very attentive and sent me tons of pics to calm my nerves being away from my baby. I had to extend my stay and Allison saved me and kept her an additional day with no problem. I don’t know what I would have done without Allison! She is truly remarkable.! I was nervous traveling to a different city and leaving her with a complete stranger but Allison is family now and my furbaby loves her to pieces! Please book with her! Also her home smelled delicious and was very clean! You wouldn’t even know pets were in the home!

She took great care of our two dogs who can be a handful. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. We were out of town and nervous about issues popping up while we were gone but she assured us both ahead of time and during the trip that they were totally fine! I even miscounted food for them and she was able to save the day, and dropped them off so we had one less thing to do when we got back. She clearly loves and knows animals and we can’t wait to work with her and have a shepherd party again!

I have so many great things to say! She’s extremely dedicated to what she does and honestly she teaches me new stuff about my own dog each time she watches him! Ally gives me peace of mind every time I leave my dog with her and my dog always comes home happy as can be. I recommend anybody who needs somebody to watch their pet!!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s woven into my entire routine. My mornings usually start early with feeding, walking, and checking in on the dogs and cats in my care. I make sure everyone gets exercise, enrichment, and the attention they need to start the day off right. Throughout the day, I balance hands-on care with managing schedules, transportation needs, and communication with pet parents. Whether it’s supervising playtime, cleaning up, or ensuring animals are safe and comfortable, each task connects back to keeping pets healthy and stress-free. Because I’m USDA registered, Pet CPR & First Aid certified, and have access to a veterinarian 24/7 through Vetster, safety checks are second nature to me. I regularly assess crates, collars, harnesses, and the environment to make sure everything meets the highest standards. Evenings usually wrap up with closing routines—final feedings, potty time, and settling animals in for the night. I also take time to provide updates to families, sharing pictures or quick notes so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. In short, my daily routine is centered on animals’ well-being. Every hour, whether it’s playtime, training time, or quiet rest, is structured around giving pets the best possible experience while they’re with me.

Whether they’re here for play, relaxation, or companionship, you can rest easy knowing they’re in caring hands. 🐾✨

Pets

A typical day

When your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a mix of fun, comfort, and safety every step of the way. Here’s what their day can look like: Playtime in the Yard 🐾 Supervised outdoor play in a secure 6-foot fenced yard with plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore. Toys & Games 🎾 A variety of safe toys to keep them entertained, stimulated, and happy. Doggie Friends (if they want!) 🐶🐾 Social pups can make friends and play with other well-matched dogs. For those that prefer solo time, they’ll get plenty of one-on-one attention instead. Snacks & Treats 🍖 Healthy, pet-friendly snacks to make their stay extra enjoyable (always keeping in mind any dietary needs). Nap & Relaxation Time 💤 A cozy, stress-free space for rest so they can recharge between activities. Safety First ❤️ Every pet is monitored closely, with their comfort and well-being as my top priority. I provide a safe, loving environment where they’ll feel at home.
