Availability
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.

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.

Information Allison B. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
A typical day with me is structured, active, and fun — while still making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. For dogs, the day usually starts with a potty break and some light movement to get their energy out. After breakfast (if scheduled in the morning), we’ll do enrichment activities like puzzle toys, sniff games, or short training refreshers to keep their minds engaged. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise! Throughout the day, I include walks (based on your dog’s energy level), supervised playtime, and plenty of positive attention. If your dog enjoys it, we can practice basic commands, leash skills, or fun tricks. For more relaxed pups, I’m happy to provide calm companionship, brushing, or just quiet time together. I also monitor body language and energy levels to adjust activities — high-energy dogs get structured play, while anxious or senior dogs get a slower, more soothing pace. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, stimulated, and loved — and for you to receive updates showing just how much fun we’re having! 🐾

Pet care experience
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.

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.
