About Alison Z.

Safety, trust & environment
Working at a boarding facility, I understand how scary it is to leave town and leave your furry companion with someone else. Thus, prior to sitting, I do like to do a meet and greet at your home, just so your pup and I can meet, and I can familiarize myself with the environment. At this time, you can give my any instructions needed to make you feel comfortable leaving your pup with me. When you are away, I am free in the mornings to mid-afternoon, and then any time after 5. I am willing to stay at the house overnight if needed.
Information Alison Z. would like to know about your pet
Prior to watching your dog, I do like to know their routine ahead of time, so I can try to adhere to that as best as possible. This includes feeding times, potty times, walks, and bedtime. I also like to know of any medical conditions, including allergies, and medications if required. Lastly, any restrictions your dog may have is also helpful to have ahead of time.
A typical day
I find structure/routine important for your dog, so overall, I will try to follow that to the best of my ability. Aside from that, a typical day will of course vary with the needs of each dog. For older or lazy dogs, I can provide a lot of pets and TLC and can take them for short strolls in the neighborhood. For more energetic dogs, I'll play with their favorite toys and take them on long walks. If your dog enjoys playing with other dogs, I am happy to bring my social husky to help poop them out. I am a runner and love hiking, so adventure is always in order.

Crazy Dog Mom
Pet care experience
My name is Alison, and I've always had a dog by my side. I am a proud dog mom to four dogs -- a husky, a min pin, a german shepard, and a golden retriever -- and I currently work at a doggy day care where dog parents trust me with their furry companions. For the past seven years, I have been working at doggy daycare and boarding facilities. Although I usually summarize my job by saying, "I play with dogs," it does encompass more. With each dog that comes in for either daycare or boarding, I have to familiarize myself with its temperament. This includes knowledge of the breed, past and current medical conditions, and body language. I also have to feed the dogs and administer medications as needed. At this job, I do treat each dog as my own. Here on Rover, I would like to expand my love for dogs and help those who are uncomfortable sending their pups to boarding facility. Thus, I can provide at-home-sitting and dog walking. I do work part time at the moment, so I am available mornings and evenings, but my schedule is very flexible. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs!
Reviews
Alison was amazing! She was open to a last minute booking and even came and visited with us before our trip began. She kept us updated and sent us photos. We will absolutely be asking her to help us care for Wilo while we’re gone again!
Alison was wonderful! She gave frequent updates, and sent pictures and video. My pup loved her! Thank you Alison!
Alison went above and beyond!! Thank you for taking care of Olive
Alison was great. We will definitely have her stay with the dogs again. She sent daily updates and has great communication. She understands that some dogs need a little extra love and care. Our dogs were happy when we got home and I know they got extra care.
