Dog Trainer Extraordinaire 🐕 ❤
Pet care experience
I began my love of dogs and training in high school when I worked for the premier boarding facility in Seattle for 3 years. I spent 10+ years breeding and raising purebred American Pit Bull Terriers. We competed in conformation and weight pull and I had several Champion and Ace titled dogs. In that time I traveled the US showing and often transported dogs and puppies for friends and acquaintances on my trips. Then, I worked as a Boarding Kennel Manager for Canine Comfort Corner in Bothell, WA for 3 years. Here I lived on site and took care of cats, dogs (50+ over holidays) and chickens. I also had my dogs and cat with me. I also provided dog training during my time in boarding. I've trained hundreds of puppies and adult dogs including a celebrity puppy! I am great at leash, potty and obedience training. While working in boarding select clients also had us house sit and take care of their dogs in house. I was tasked with this and took care of dogs, cats, small animals, birds and fish. Since early 2022, I have been house sitting on Trusted House Sitters and have decided to also offer walking and check in via Rover. I offer in depth training at additional cost, contact me for pricing. I am an IAACB member, committed to LIMA training principles, AKC CGC Approved Evaluator and I work with WA Therapy Dogs conducting training for future Therapy Dogs. I am a well-rounded pet sitter and will treat your pets and home like my own, with care.
Reviews
Allie took great care of our dogs and sent us daily photos of them! We really appreciated her communication with us.
Allie was great — shared regular updates and took great care of our pups and our house!
Our pup Hallie clearly had a great time being watched over by Allie during our 5-day Thanksgiving trip! Hallie welcomed us back home enthusiastically as always, and then settled back into her normal routine. Allie sent us several photos of Hallie enjoying herself, which eased any anxiety we might have had leaving our pup for an extended time with a new sitter. We know Hallie can get up to a lot of mischief, but everything was fine when we got home. Happy dog. Happy us! I highly recommend Allie as a sitter!!!
So thankful for Allie and her daughter!! They took wonderful care of our dog and cat on an overnight sit. Even during the meet and greet I could tell how thoughtful and caring Allie was for our animals. Our dog can be a bit rambunctious and Allie was so patient with him. We would love to have Allie and Lillia back! Thank you so much!

I am very clean and ensure your home is looked after with the utmost care. My daughter and I attend sits together, so only pets that are kid friendly are a good match, however, she is responsible and loves to help exercise pets with me. I will arrive within 2 hours of your departure and leave within 2 hours of your arrival so pets are not left alone long. I can ensure plants and animals are taken care of to the highest standards. I can provide in home training during the visit for puppies who are still learning and ensure potty training continues without issue. I have done sits in the US and abroad with my daughter and before I had her. I can administer medication, and stick to a strict schedule or training regimen as needed. **Covid Vaxxed** **Non-smoking** **Alcohol-free**

Information Allie R. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your dog's personality (are they dog-friendly, resource guarders, great on the leash?), their motivations (food, treats, attention), and what their favorite activities and routine are like. I try to keep your dog's routine as close to normal as possible to ensure they aren't overwhelmed by change. For cats and other pets, are they outgoing or shy? Are there any toys or treats they especially love?
A typical day
We love to explore your local parks and neighborhood. If your dog likes to play ball, they are in for a treat because we love to throw balls and frisbees for dogs! We enjoy taking 1 to 3 walks daily depending on the activity level of your pet. We also enjoy playing with cats and other small animals. Guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, etc can be added to a booking for no extra charge.
