Lover of all, great and small!
Pet care experience
I have been caring for animals pretty much my whole life! I grew up having multiple cats around, and started dog sitting on and off when I was in middle school. Fast forward to my adult life and I’ve been dog walking professionally for almost a year now- I’ve walked everything from a tiny terrier mix to a Border Collie/Cur pair! I live a pretty active lifestyle so I love long walks and can even run with your dog or take them on a hike. I am decently strong so I can typically deal with strong leash pullers. As far as my own pets go, I once had pet rats, and I have also cared for madagascar hissing cockroaches and honey bees, so I have a soft spot in my heart for the “creepy crawlies” as well as traditional pets. A little about me, I graduated from Ithaca College in August 2020 with my BA in Environmental Studies. I moved to Chicago last June after Covid thwarted my post-grad plans, but I returned to Ithaca in February; now I live and work in the Adirondacks! Some of my hobbies include hiking, camping, roller skating, and foraging, and I'm always down to try something new! As of 4/27, I am fully vaccinated for Covid. I am of course still willing to wear a mask in your home- your comfort and safety is what matters!
Reviews
Alli took wonderful care of our sensitive and temperamental pup for an evening while we were visiting LP. She was patient and loving with him and was a great communicator. Bowie loves his new friend and we are so grateful!
Alli watched my dog while I was I was at an out-of-town wedding. Very professional, punctual, and her quick responses made it all worry-free. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup!
She’s the best!
Alli is the best!

Safety, trust & environment
Each animal is different from the next, I don't want to provide a blanket statement regarding their care. What makes one animal comfortable could make the next uncomfortable! I will take the information you provide me with on your pet's likes and dislikes and use that to make sure they have the best time with me!
Information Alli B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about all the little idiosyncrasies of your dog! Do they love trying to chase birds? Will they freeze up if I try to cross a bridge with them? Anything like that- I would love to be able to keep both your dog and myself comfortable for our time together!
A typical day
One of my favorite parts about the Adirondacks is all of the beautiful places to walk! I am an avid hiker and would love to bring your pup on a hike, or just a casual stroll around the block if you've got an older dog that's not up to something challenging.

My schedule is fairly flexible, I work part time at a gear shop in Lake Placid! I am not currently available on Sundays or Mondays- I spend those days working at a climbing gym that I help to run in Willsboro.
