Great with dogs and cats!

Pet care experience

If you are looking for someone to watch your pet and send you LOTS of pictures and updates, I am your girl! I have been told I send too many pictures, but there’s no such thing when they look so dang cute!! I love animals, so much so that I earned my Animal Assisted Social Work degree along with my MSW. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats, and I currently have a cat who is very skittish/nervous, so I have plenty of experience with coaxing cats out from under the bed and making them comfortable. I also love dogs of all sizes, but the bigger the better! I also have recently learned how to walk around the ring with show dogs, so if you are in need of that service please message me!

Allie was perfect for our active young collie and cuddly older cat. She sent photo updates, which was a constant source of comfort due to their medication and exercise needs. Thank you, Allie!

She was awesome! Sent so many pictures and videos of our kitties and kept us updated on everything. Spent time with them and even got our shy kitty to come out! Was also able to deal with my crazy sassy kitty. Highly recommend!

Lots of updates and asked questions when needed. Great communication. Allie did a great job caring for our pets while we were away for a long weekend!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently only have a cat at home, mainly because I can't afford a dog yet. The biggest things I do to make my cat (and visitor dogs) comfortable is physical affection, food and water is always filled, random treats, keep her environment clean, talking in a baby/soothing voice, and playing with her to get some energy out.

Information Allie W. would like to know about your pet

If the dog does not get along with other dogs or humans it would be helpful to know that in advanced! Also, any medical diagnoses that might need my attention should be disclosed beforehand.

A typical day

I can play whatever your dog wants to play: fetch, tug of war, chase the laser pointer, who can bark the loudest, howling at the moon, etc.
