We do walks several times a day and have a huge dog park (fenced but the walkways are open like at a baseball field) less than 2 minutes away from our apartment. We have an extra bedroom that can be utilized if anyone needs some alone time and we have a huge crate available, if needed (or feel free to bring your own!).

Information Allison A. would like to know about your pet

I always want pets to feel as comfortable and happy as possible, so it helps to know any quirks, routines, or preferences they have. Do they get nervous during storms? Love a certain toy? Dislike the vacuum? Whether it's special commands, favorite treats, or things that make them anxious, I’m all ears because knowing these details helps me care for them like you would.

A typical day

Every pet is different, and I love getting to know their unique personalities so I can tailor our time together to what they enjoy most, whether that's fetch in the dog park, a leisurely stroll, puzzle toys, or just lots of cuddles and conversation. I always get completely distracted by pets (in the best way possible) and can’t help but shower them with attention. I will always make sure they feel loved, entertained, and safe while their humans are away!

Loving care for your best friend

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life so caring for pets is second nature to me! As an adult, I had my own dog for nine wonderful years. She was truly my soul dog, and caring for her through a terminal illness deepened my understanding of both the joy and responsibility of pet ownership. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable administering oral medications and subcutaneous fluids, and I’m especially sensitive to the needs of senior or medically fragile pets. I bring not just experience, but compassion, patience, and the kind of attention to detail that comes from truly loving animals. I currently have a goofy 1yo mutt named Ollie, who has never met a stranger and is always looking for a playmate!

Allison dropped by to walk our dogs and feed them last minute when our flights got delayed and we are so appreciative! We always know they’re well taken care of when she’s with them ❤️

Allison always does an amazing job with our pups. This was probably a longer trip than we’ve taken away from them so I was naturally a nervous wreck leading up to it, but as soon as Allison was with them I knew they were in great hands. Thank you Allison for caring for our girls!

Allison was very communicative throughout the entire process and made sure Harley felt safe as a very timid dog. I appreciate her a lot!
