Lots of love and a playmate!
Pet care experience
I immediately looked for a dog to adopt when I moved to Raleigh in 2014. A few weeks later I brought home Benson, a 6 year old lab mix. He is super playful and will love to play with your dog! Before moving to a pet-friendly apartment I volunteered at the local shelter and was a dog sitter for friends whenever possible. I've always loved dogs and will love your dog as much as my own. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs my whole life. I got my first dog, a black lab, when I was 3. I sat for friends' dogs since college and volunteered with the Humane Society. I finally have my own dog but still love meeting and caring for other dogs. Meet my pets Benson, my dog, loves all people and pets. He gets very excited at first and may jump but he's very gentle. He's used to dogs of all sizes and loves to play and snuggle. My cat, Meowedith, is a ~10 year old rescue. She's very sweet but takes a little time to get comfortable with new people and dogs. She is fine with dogs if they give her her space when she wants it. About my yard I have a fenced in backyard My experience administering medication I have given pills to dogs before and am comfortable with that. If your dog requires a shot I would want to meet your dog first and learn how to do it before agreeing.
Reviews
Allie was a great sitter for our 2-year-old golden retriever, Bailey! She sent us photos and provided updates during the stay. We could tell that she treated Bailey like one of her own. Definitely recommend Allie for dog boarding services.
Allie was so great with Boomer! We had some delays traveling, and she was very flexible and willing to help. We had a great experience.
Allie took great care of our dog! She was very communicative and was flexible with drop-off and pickup, which I appreciated. We loved seeing the photos of our dog's stay!
Allie is awesome!! Allie sent me photos of Noodle, my pup, snuggling on the couch and photos of her in the dog park running and playing! Allie’s personal dog is so sweet and playful too! I had no doubt while my dog Noodles was with her that she was taken care of. Will definitely use Allie again!

Information Allie J. would like to know about your pet
Benson has a lot of energy and likes to play so I would want to make sure your dog is ok with that. I would like to know what commands your dog knows (i.e. 'off' vs 'down'). Please make sure your dog is house trained (with the understanding that accidents may happen in a new environment) and provide enough waste bags.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks For a quick bathroom break I have a fenced in yard. For a longer walk we'll explore the Greenway or the residential areas of downtown. On the weekends we'll head to the Oakwood dog park for some playtime (if your dog is ok with a dog park!) When the weather is nice we can also hike around one of the nearby lakes. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I have an extra dog bed and crate in the living room. Benson sleeps on my bed and your dog is welcome to also. Time I'll spend with your dog I can walk home at lunchtime during the work week for a quick walk and playtime. At night or on weekends I'll be home or your pup will come with me to explore downtown.
