Experienced, Professional, Flexible

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Allison, I'm 33 years old, and I've loved and cared for dogs my whole life! Besides dog ownership throughout my childhood and early adulthood, I also have over ten years' experience dog-sitting both professionally for clients and as a well-loved favor for friends/family, and truly enjoy the time I spend with your dog. I'm trustworthy and can provide a substantial number of references upon request, and the flexibility of my schedule will allow me to help meet your needs as conveniently as possible. I've cared for dogs from early puppy days (4-6 months) all through senior dogs, ages 12+ years, across many breeds. I've also cared for dogs who require medication, special attention, and/or special dietary restrictions. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

Allison was great to our two pups. She put in the effort with our shy dog Maddie to make her feel safe and build their trust. We would book Allison again!

Our dog Abby spent a weekend at Allison’s. Allison loves dogs and took very good care of Abby. We felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We will use her services in the future.

Allison has been watching our dog Truman for years now. She often watches him while we are away on holiday...even for longer periods of time. Truman is always happy and seems well cared for when we get home. We also hear great things from fellow dog owners who see Allison with Truman while we're away. Allison has both watched Truman at our home and at her place. She's great in either situation.

Allison has taken care of my golden retriever puppy, Luna, on numerous occasions. The longest was when I went abroad for 2 weeks. Allison takes Luna into her home as if she were her own dog. She sends me lots of photos and video of Luna while I'm away and I feel totally assured that she is in good hands. She loves taking Luna to the beach and playing fetch, and showers Luna with affection while cuddling in bed at night. I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!

Information Allison B. would like to know about your pet

You can *never* give me too much information about your dogs! All dogs deserve to be happy and well cared-for, and I want to do the very best I can to make sure your dog feels comfortable with me! Please let me know if your dog has any unique behaviors or needs that require special attention. I also like to know if there are any specific things that make your dog anxious or afraid. I'm very experienced and comfortable with dogs who can be a little shy or stubborn, but it's always important to have a heads up! It's also important for me to know about the commands your dog obeys (or you want your dog to obey!), obedience training you're currently working on, or any other authority-related habits your dog responds to positively. Please inform & provide me with detailed information and appropriate supplies for meal time, treats, etc. I'm 100% committed to keeping your dog's routine as familiar as possible while you're away! Please be aware that any overnight stay that begins prior to 3:00pm on the first day or ends after 12:00pm on the final day will be subject to an additional flate rate Extended Stay Charge of $50.00. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Thank you!

A typical day

I live in a resort town, near lots of beaches and wooded areas to walk. Everyone around here is friendly, so there are often lots of other dogs to play with if your dog likes to make friends! I'm happy to engage in any activity regimen requested, and have experience with training and reward systems. I would feel very comfortable assisting with reinforcing commands for young dogs.
