Reviews
Allie did an awesome job taking care of our pack! She took our instructions seriously and followed them to the letter, even going above and beyond our expectations. She was always in contact with updates about how our dogs are were doing, and no detail went unnoticed. She even left a written summary of their activities each day. It was great peace of mind knowing they were in the care of someone so capable and caring. She is highly recommended!
Allie is fabulous! She visited our dogs on days when both my partner and I were working long shifts. Our one dog is an adult poodle mix (20 lbs.), and our other dog was, at the time, a growing Newfoundland pup! Newfoundland pups are equal parts sweet goofball and dinosaur. Training them takes a lot of patience and consistency, and because of their size, puppy behavior like jumping or yanking the leash suddenly can be more difficult to manage. Allie, however, made us feel confident and comfortable that our dogs were in good care. She did an initial meet and greet, and in addition to walking and feeding our dogs, took pictures and videos to show our puppy's training progress! She also gave us great training tips, left us written instructions for new exercises, and even created a very sweet puppy report card. She is also a communicative, professional, and genuinely kind individual. I highly recommend her services!
Allie did a wonderful walking and training our 120 lbs. and 20 lbs. dogs! She provided lunch breaks and training sessions for several months. She was comfortable and able to handle our big Newfoundland. She always checked in with any questions and provided videos of what training techniques she was working on with our growing Newfoundland. She also sent daily pictures and texts and provided us with a sweet "report card" about our dog's training progress. She was also communicative and flexible with our changing work schedules. I 100% trusted her with both dogs and never worried when I knew she was coming over. Definitely recommend her!
Allie is great! She watches my dachshund, Dolce. Allie gives my dog lots of walks, playtime, and even taught her to roll over! I get lots of updates and pictures while I’m gone. I’ve trusted Allie with Dolce for lunch walks and whole weekends. She treats my dog as her own!
