Reviews
Allison was amazing for our two pups! Super responsive and gave us several daily updates/pictures while dog sitting in our home. Would highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Allison was a wonderful sitter for Truman, our yellow Labrador! Her training in the vet field is an added plus. She was a great communicator and I knew Truman was in great hands! Thank you, Allison, for taking care of our Tru!
Allison took such good care of Captain. We received updates and pictures everyday and she was extremely responsive when we reached out. We would 100% have her stay with him again!
Allison took incredible care of our two pups and our home! We had our normal dog care fall through and she responded super promptly to start sitting the next day. She came by our house that evening to meet the dogs and learn about their routine; she asked great questions, and it was clear she cares deeply about giving dogs the best care possible. She was so caring with our extremely nervous toy poodle, whom she gave medicine to every morning, and our new terrier, who has some crate aggression. She gave our pups plenty of exercise and love over the 3 days we were away and sent us updates for peace of mind. Highly recommend booking with Allison!

I have 2 dogs in my home. Maple is a 10-year-old boxer hound mix and Dr. Bruce Banner aka Banner is a one year old puppy and they are the light of our lives.
Information Allison C. would like to know about your pet
Important information includes any temperamental needs such as dog aggression, food/toy aggression, leash reactivity, stranger aversion, etc. Tolerance levels for different environments and with different social groups (kids, parks, home, etc). Its important to know of any environmental or food allergies and any medications the pet may need. Its important to know of any underlying health concerns or previous hospitalization.
A typical day
A typical day is catered to the individual pet. Those with high energy and exercise needs are welcome to go on hikes, walks, dog parks, playdates, and back yard fetch. Other dogs may want more time snuggling and hearing about my day. Others may want space and need a patient approach. I love to provide enrichment with some refreshing training, toys, and walks around the neighborhood.
