Individualized care for your pets

Pet care experience

I live in a single-family home in Bloomington. There are no other pets in the home. I am a non-smoker and love animals. Since the pandemic, my husband works from home full time . We are very experienced in caring for all types of breeds of dogs and ages. I am comfortable administering medications, insulin, and other special needs. I do not have a fenced backyard, but I always accompany the pets when outdoors. I enjoy physical exercise and will walk the dog(s) I care for at least 2x a day, if permissible. I am the main caretaker. My neighbors have dogs and young children, but their home is fenced in. I have a large backyard where pets can play fetch if they enjoy the game. Lots of space to run and play. There is a child in our home. We are only willing to accept pets that are open to or friendly with children. My aunt sometimes helps with pet care. She speaks limited English but I help translate. She has a fenced in yard. We work in tandum and job share in essence depending on the need of your pet(s).

Allison was a wonderful cat sitter. She was punctual every day, kept everything clean and organized and our cats comfortable and well fed. Hire with confidence.

Thank you Allison for taking care of our boys while we were away. It was great to know they were well taken care of and getting daily exercise. We loved the daily updates and pictures! Thank you so much!

Allison is AMAZING!! She was the perfect person to take care of kitties. Every day she sent photos with updates ok how they were doing. She also made sure that our little diabetic kitty received his insulin shot twice a day with no issue. We came home from our trip to very happy kitties ! We knew with Allison that they would be in the best hands!

Safety, trust & environment

Pets thrive on routines. I try and re-create and keep a routine that they are most accustomed to. Feeding times and walks to match what you would do for your own pet. I have family that live near by and have access to a fenced-in yard. Your pet will be treated like family and are welcome to visit my family for more human companionship if he/she is accustomed to it. This can mean going on errands, walks, runs etc. activity as tolerated.

Information Allison A. would like to know about your pet

Things I would like to learn more about before caring for an animal may be: -What is the feeding schedule like? -Any aversion to certain things? (i.e. other dogs, small children etc.) -Allergies? -Any likes/dislikes? -How far can your dog run/walk for? or time duration? -Any medications? -Does your dog run away? escape artist? -Can your dog navigate stairs? going up or down? -How often does your dog need a bio-break? I do request a different rate for dogs that do not get along with other dogs and it's a holiday $55/day. This is because I will have to turn down other potential dogs and current clients to ensure the safety of your dog. If it's not a holiday, this does not apply.

A typical day

Places we like to go on walks are: -Around the neighborhood -Bloomington's dog park -Centennial Lake in Edina -Lake Calhoun/Harriet/of the Isles -The local marsh/park nearby We will be spending a lot of quality time together. I enjoy staying active.

My husband and I are home full time during the week and on weekends we run errands. We care for the dogs with routines they are most accustomed to. There is a nature trail not too far away that I like going on and it takes about 20 minutes for one loop.
