I've taken care of dogs since age 5

Pet care experience

I absolutely adore animals and have been around dogs my entire life! When I was very little, my family began breeding our Brittany Spaniels [named Lady & Tramp, of course] and we created a lineage of the most incredible, caring, intelligent, family-oriented dogs. I gained an immense amount of knowledge and experience throughout that journey, as I was very hands-on with all of the puppies! Since I got involved with dogs at a very young age, I have a lot of experience dealing with different kinds of temperaments, ages, and breed types - I am able to take care of a newborn, a puppy that is extremely energetic, as well as older dogs who may be less social. I am used to Brittany Spaniels (and Beagles) especially, but have had encounters with numerous types of breeds and none of them scare me away! No matter how big, small, loud, or antisocial they may be - I adore them all! As a breeder, we take the extra mile to make sure our dogs go to good homes where they'll be well-taken care of, and that is exactly the type of mentality I hope to emulate as a dog sitter. I want to make your dog (or other pet) as comfortable as possible, and I will meet each and every need it has no matter what or when that is. It is my responsibility to tend to what the dog wants while I am taking care of it, and my only hope is that it is happy by the time I leave. (Or sad because it's gonna miss me - so then you’ll have to bring them back! ☺️😉) More than likely though, I will be the sad one and miss them the most!! Please contact me if you are interested in having me take care of your fur baby(ies)! I am always open to schedule a meet and greet prior to the booking if that will make you and your pet feel more comfortable! :)

I have a grumpy large dog and Allison was an absolute pro at handling him. She was great at handling adverse situations and being super prepared to do what it takes! Thank you so much Allison!

Allison was amazing. She made us feel comfortable that she would take care of our dog at every moment and we are very happy with the services that she provided.

Allison is great with my dog. She plays with him a little after the walk and my dog loves play time.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 1200 sq. ft apartment with a closed in patio overlooking a small pond. It is a fairly open layout, so there is room to play! A mix of hardwood and carpet. I am located on the 4th floor, but my building has easy elevator access in the case that your pet has trouble with climbing stairs. Client’s home: This 100% varies per client, pet, and home-environment. I just try to mold and adapt to whatever style you use to take care of your pet - whether it’s for walking, feeding, time schedule, etc. You let me know what YOUR pet best needs, and I will adapt! :)

Information Allison B. would like to know about your pet

Please help me in helping you and your dog! The more information you are able to provide the better. The more details I am able to acquire about your dog and their needs/schedule, the more confident and better prepared I will feel. Some dogs are very simple and straightforward, but some have more intricate needs/schedules. I would just ask that you relay to me any information you feel is necessary. Main questions: -Feeding schedule: How many times a day/at what times? -Walk/Bathroom schedule: How many times a day/at what times? -Is there leeway in the times they are fed/walked, or are they on a fairly strict time schedule? -Are they friendly with other dogs? -Do they have a tendency to get into anything? (Trash, shoes, etc.? -Are they allowed on furniture? (I am okay with it if you are! I do allow dogs to sleep on the bed with me if that is what they’re used to)

A typical day

Aside from playing, I love sitting outside on my closed-in patio with the dogs and listening to all the birds. There is ample amount of space within my complex to walk around. I am located towards the back where it feels a bit more private and quiet. There is a fenced-in dog park and also an additional pond area near my building that I love to walk the dogs by! Depending on the dogs energy-level, sometimes I will take my chair out by the water and read my book while they sit there and observe the sounds and water! It is very peaceful.
