Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Allison and my dogs name is Ellie. She is a 7yr old rescue that loves other dogs and chasing squirrels. Currently Ellie has an ACL tear we are treating with rest and can only go for short leash walks. I was a vet tech for 3 years and I’m very confident with all animals. Currently, I’m working as a professional photographer and look forward to sending you photos of your pup! I have experience in administering medications for older pets. I’m very clean and bring my own eco friendly bags for dog walks. If your dog likes treats we will get along just fine! I believe in the reward system for dogs or correcting their attention for positive reinforcement NEVER negative reinforcement. I hope you and your family are staying safe in this time of crisis. If requested, I can arrive with a face mask, gloves as well as my own leash to keep you as safe as possible. Thank you for your consideration.
Reviews
We came to Newport on vacation and completely forgot to book a sitter for the dog during the mansion tours and dinner for an evening. I downloaded the app and found Allison within 30min and booked her for the following day! She was very responsive and took our dog on a long walk and sent a bunch of photo updates which we loved! Would definitely recommend!
Allison is a top-notch sitter! She watched our dog Lucy (Gordon Setter) and our cat Oliver (Ragdoll) while we went to California to be part of our daughter’s wedding. She not only provided excellent care for Lucy and Oliver, she also provided us constant feedback regarding their status via texts that included photos and videos! We will definitely utilize her services again and highly recommend her for others needing pet sitting services.
Allison has been involved with 4-H since she was a child. She has been trained as a Vet Tech. Allison is very competent and professional and has owned and trained her own dog for 6 years.
Allison is one of those people that has a connection with animals, especially when it comes with dogs. She has a sense and understanding of what the animal is feeling. I have seen dogs that Allison is meeting for the first time immediately respond with happiness and comfort upon her arrival. I have had the pleasure of watching Allison train and care for her dog (Ellie). She has a terrific balance of love and discipline when training her dog. What is even more impressive is the feel she has with both her own and others dogs when in crowded environments. She communicates well with other dog owners if she gets a sense that either her or other dogs are uncomfortable, while also giving them an opportunity to socialize. It would also give a dog owner peace of mind knowing that Allison had experience working as a vet tech. I would trust her to act appropriately should a dog encounter an aggressive bee or squirrel. I know she would care for other dogs like they were her own, and cannot recommend Allison enough!

Information Allison B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know; - how they react to other dogs (on leash, food, toys) -any allergies? -house broken? -chewing history?
A typical day
We will go on long walks, and they will have fun playing with my dog Ellie. I’m a huge fan of cookie balls and other kind games for the dogs to keep them occupied and thinking. We might try to learn some new tricks!
