I am available most days.
Pet care experience
I have experience walking, playing with, feeding and caring for dogs. Just let me know your expectations and concerns up front and I will be happy to work with you. Additionally, I would like to know the temperment, energy levels, and the ability of your dog to respond to directions from others in cases when I need to call them- this is for the safety of the dog(s) and myself. If you would prefer that your dog gets longer drop ins or walks I can accommodate. Depending on the energy level and aggressiveness I may decline to work with your pet, because I have not had a lot of experience working with aggressive or extremely high energy dogs.
Reviews
We were so pleased. Allison came to our home 2-3 times a day for a week to care for Baxter, and when we got home, he was so happy! That was a first! Usually, he is mopey when we return, but not when Allison took care of him. We could tell that he got lots of attention. She spent extra time walking him, giving him affection, and making sure all his needs were met. She was very professional in how she responded to a problem Baxter developed, and contacted us appropriately to best help him. She exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her for any of your dog needs - daily walkings or care while you're away. She is trustworthy, honest, and friendly ~ likable to both dogs and people.
We have known Allie for 21 years. When we moved in across the street she was an adorable 4 year old, and we’ve watched her grow into a kind, friendly responsible woman. We watched Allie take loving care of her own dog for years, so we felt comfortable having her walk and help care for our dog, Sadie. Allie is reliable and responsible and we had no concerns about trusting her the with keys to our home and the care of our dog. She would always go above and beyond, offering to take in our mail or do whatever was needed. We always felt completely comfortable having Allie come to our house, care for Sadie and take her for long walks throughout our neighborhood. Allie would often stay for a bit and play with Sadie to give her some extra TLC... simply because she loves dogs and always wanted to make sure Sadie was happy. Allie has a warm, calm nature about her that makes our dog always so happy to see her. We have special concerns, as our dog was attacked by another dog,making her nervous and cautious. Allie has great instincts and always knows how to make Sadie feel comfortable and secure. We don’t let just anyone walk our dog, as we need to know that the walker will be proactive and responsive to keep Sadie safe and make her ... and her owners ...feel that she is safe. Allie always did that. Allie is loved and trusted by our dog... and us! If you’re looking for a responsible, trustworthy person to care for your pet, we would highly recommend Allie!

Safety, trust & environment
I can exercise with your dog by playing with them at home or walking them. I also can visit with them at home and make sure they have the care they need.
Information Allison C. would like to know about your pet
I need to know their temperament, energy levels, special requirements, ability to listen to commands, and size before I meet with you. That way I can make sure both your dog and I are safe to work together.
A typical day
I like to play fetch, have the dogs chase me, pet them, and walk around the neighborhood and explore. I also like to take dogs on nature walks on local trails.
