Caring and Responsible Dog Lover
Update, April 2026: I am winding down my dog sitting services as I am hoping to start fostering to adopt a dog. Please feel free to inquire still as fostering is always up in the air. Especially if I’ve provided care for your pets in the past! Thanks for your understanding and patronage!! **About me** Hi there! I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. Once you meet me, you will not have to worry about leaving your loved one while you're on vacation or a business trip! I am personable, caring, professional, and most importantly dependable. I'm vaccinated as well. **About my home/services** I offer sitting, dog walking, and check ins. I grew up with a rottweiler so I'm extremely comfortable around big dogs. I've also house sat/dog sat for a variety of breeds including chihuahuas, boxers, German shepherds. I cater to my client, so whatever you're comfortable with walking, check ins, and sitting I can do. I try to cater my best for leaving dogs alone at home for not a long time based on your preference; however I am juggling some part time jobs right now and that capability varies. I am normally not out of the house for longer than 7 hours. I’m in between full time jobs right now So my schedule is flexible. **About my neighborhood** I live in the Swissvale neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Frick park is near by to take long walks in. I can also travel to dog parks/area if that is preferred. **What to expect** When I'm sitting, checking in, or dog walking I'll do everything to make sure your dog is safe and happy. We will probably play a bit no matter what service I'm attending to. **Special rules or requests** I do not have any breed or size limitations. If you live far from me, I ask you give me as much notice as possible. I'm not confident at giving animal shots but if the dog is calm or good at taking shots, I will be able to perform this task.

Ratings and reviews
Allison took great care of our two German Shepards!! She was extremely accommodating and communicative and I can tell they had a very comfortable stay!
Allison is new to us and recently stayed with our dog for a couple of days. Allison is patient, kind and communicative. She has a wonderful understanding of dogs and dog behavior. Without hesitation we plan to ask Allison to housesit again!
Allison took such good care of our pups while we were away for the weekend. Communication was awesome while one of our senior boys took a little while to settle in. Very appreciative!
Allison took great care of our very timid anxious dog. Would rebook!
We were lucky to find Allison for our last-minute request! One of our rescue dogs is still becoming more socialized - so he definitely needs to sense a "vibe" to be able to connect with someone - and after I got a good feeling at our meet-and-greet, we booked. He took to Allison pretty quickly and by the end of the weekend, they were snuggling. We would definitely use Allison again, if she'll have us. :) Thanks, Allison!
Allison was wonderful with our pups! Definitely will book with her again. Super friendly and responsive and treated our home so kindly.

I’m in between jobs right now so my schedule is currently very flexible. I hope to find a remote job and still have a flexible schedule.

A typical day
Every dog is different, so if they get their energy out by walking or playing, we’ll do that. Or if they’re just relaxed, we will spend some time on the couch together.
