Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Behavior-Focused
Dogs have always been my happy place. I’m the kind of person who notices the little things — tail wags, ear shifts, when they need space, or when they’re ready to play. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, shy dogs, and big personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog for who they are. I have a background in animal behavior, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training, supporting anxious pups, and keeping play safe and structured — but more than anything, I just love spending time with them. Whether your dog wants long walks, enrichment games, cuddles on the couch, or someone patient and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely to keep routines consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, medication, crate time, or exercise needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a clean, low-stress environment for their pet. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before going outside, and I closely supervise walks and playtime. I also monitor behavior and body language to make sure your dog feels comfortable and safe. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a structured, calm environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and attention. I separate pets if needed for safety, keep hazardous items out of reach, and ensure they always have fresh water and a comfortable resting space. With my background in animal behavior and hands-on experience, I’m attentive to subtle changes in mood, stress levels, and health. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
This was Allison's second time staying with Jax. Couldn't be happier. She's great.
Allison is Fantastic!! She took great care of Clark and got us photos every day!! Thank you!!!
Allison is a pleasure to work with, great communicator and really great with Jax. I was pleased to learn about her additional background and education with animals. That knowledge gave me the extra comfort, knowing Jax was in good hands. She also did a great job keeping the house in order. Looking forward to having Allison hang out with Jax again sometime in the near term.
Allison was sweet, friendly and respectful. She took great care of my cats and I would highly recommend her and I will be rebooking her again soon.
Thank you. I'm sure he was very appreciative.
I have nothing to say but good words for Allison. She is extremely sweet and caring, and always goes above and beyond for my animals. If you are looking for someone with great attentiveness and responsibility she is your person.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I have full availability on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fida, I’m available in the evenings for visits, walks, or overnight care. As an Animal Behavior student, spending time with dogs is already a big part of my life, so I’m intentional about keeping my schedule organized and reliable. When I commit to caring for your pet, I make sure they have my full attention, consistency, and lots of positive interaction. Caring for dogs isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I truly love doing.

- Before caring for your pet, it’s really important for me to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide the best care possible. I like to know: • Feeding schedule and portion sizes • Medication instructions (if applicable) • Energy level and exercise needs • Temperament around other dogs/people • Any triggers, fears, or anxieties (storms, loud noises, separation, etc.) • Training cues they know and expectations for behavior • Any history of reactivity, resource guarding, or escape tendencies • Emergency contact information and veterinarian details I also appreciate knowing what makes your pet happiest — their favorite toys, treats, walking routes, or comfort items. Keeping things consistent helps reduce stress and makes the experience smoother for everyone. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can create a safe, structured, and positive environment tailored specifically to your pet.
