Fenced in yard + a friendly pup!
Pet care experience
I am a very enthusiastic dog lover with several years of experience and a passion for pet care. I rescued my dog Zuma a few years ago; when I got him he was VERY shy, and since that time I've successfully brought him out of his shell—he cannot get enough play time in with other pups! He loves to make new friends and is a very social boy, which puts other anxious dogs I’ve sat at ease. I have a lot of experience making space and understanding anxious and shy dogs’ body language and needs. As a helicopter dog mom, I have read a significant amount regarding the best methods for caring and interacting with dogs, and have implemented them successfully with Zuma and dogs I've sat of varying sizes and temperaments. I am available and interested in not only pet-sitting, but giving your dog a memorable and enjoyable experience that makes their time away from their parents more fun! In my time sitting, I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs: puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with special needs, etc. Zuma and I would love to spend time with your dog, and I think your dog would love to spend time with us!
Reviews
Allison did a great job watching our Miki. She gave daily updates and sent photos. It was great knowing miki was with an experienced dog owner and someone who has watched anxious dogs. Would definitely leave our dog with Allison again!
Allison did a great job with my 12 week old puppy! Played with him and followed his crate schedule while I was out for the day. Will definitely reach back out to her to watch Finn again :-)
Allison did a great job with my little guy, Murph. She was responsive the entire weekend and I felt comforted knowing Murph was in good hands.
Very friendly and quick and to respond. Provides updates if you’re worried how your furry little friend is doing!

I have a fenced in yard and a pup, we live right by the Capital Trail so often walk down that path. We also live close to a quieter neighborhood for walks with anxious dogs.
Home
Information Allison B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what your commands for your dog are, what/when they eat, their favorite ways to play, what their stressors are, (for boarding) how they do with other dogs and any potential behavioral quirks your pup has.
A typical day
We usually start the day at my place with a quick walk and some time in the yard. I often do a few training sessions throughout the day with my boy because he is very treat motivated. We also play inside the house and outside as well with toys. On the weekends I would say we usually are outside at least 4-5 times per day and if the weathers nice for extended periods of time, as the dog desires.
