About Alison S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet like they are my own with love and attentiveness. I will respect your space, preferences, and rules when it comes to taking care of both your pets and your home if you require a house sitter. When a pet is being boarded in our home, they will have access to our large front and back yards. We can accommodate up to 3 dogs at one time with the ability to keep them separate based on their temperament, behavior, and your preferences. My partner and I work from home, so your pet will be supervised continuously to ensure their happiness and that all of their needs are met.
Information Alison S. would like to know about your pet
Before walking or caring for your pet, it's essential to know their medical history, including any allergies, health issues, or medications they might be on. Behavioral tendencies, such as how they react to other dogs, strangers, or specific triggers, are equally important. Additionally, understanding their dietary restrictions or preferences, exercise limits, and any specific training commands or routines they're accustomed to can make our time together more enjoyable and stress-free. Lastly, it's beneficial to know their favorite toys or activities, so I can ensure they have a fulfilling and fun experience.
A typical day
When I walk dogs, my priority is to ensure they have both an enjoyable and stimulating experience. While I'm still familiarizing myself with the best walking spots in the area, I always appreciate recommendations from pet owners. It's a great way to discover new places and make sure the dogs feel comfortable and excited in familiar or favored environments. When boarding at our home, we have a plethora of toys and your pet will have a significant amount of playtime.

Your Pet's New Best Friend
Pet care experience
I grew up with cats as well as having my own as an adult. I've also shared my home with several dogs for many years, so pets are pretty much my second family. I'm here to offer services including walking, house sitting, and transportation when you need it. I also offer boarding and day care at my home, where I have the benefit of working as a team with my partner. He is the homeowner, a huge animal lover, and has over 17 years of experience raising pets - including senior dog care. Your dog or cat will have the enjoyment of two caregivers, with both of us able to provide loving attention and supervision. We will ensure your furry buddy is happy and well-cared for. Whether it's a quick walk or a weekend stay, I've got your pet's back.
Reviews
Thank you Alison for the fantastic photos and detailed information about the information I’ve conveyed I care the most about. And going above and beyond and my baby boy (cat) leans into you even without prolonged exposure or time btw you two which means you give off good cat instincts :) thank you for doing what you do! I trust you in my house and w my boy :)
Alison is the best! My cat is a bit older and does not handle strangers well, along with all the other little quirks that can make senior kitties sometimes difficult. Alison is such a pro, my cat was coming to see her for food and head pets by day 2! Alison made my vacation relaxing because I knew my cat was in the absolute best hands.
First time working with Alison and definitely would again! She had great communication, was thorough with our cats needs and gave special attention to her. She went above and beyond-much appreciated!
Alison is super friendly, and provided good, timely communication about my kitties while I was away. I felt they were in good hands and would be happy to leave the in her care again!
