Safety, trust & environment

I live in a semi-suburban area of the Bronx in the first floor of a house with a small yard and a well-secured fenced. It is perfect for the dogs to play in, sniff about or even sunbathe. For safety’s sake, I monitor the dogs anytime they are in the yard. There is an external gate leading to the front door of my house, which I keep shut to prevent any dogs from running out unexpectedly. Finally, out an abundance of caution, I affix Apple airtags to the collars of all my guest dogs. In addition to two extra large crates, my home has The apartment is full of dog beds, including two “dens” in my closets. I also have multiple rooms and dog gates, which allows me to separate dogs if necessary. I ALWAYS feed dogs separately for safety. Pets are allowed on the couch but not on my bed. My shower is equipped for bathing dogs. I have two dog first aid kits (one in the house and a second in the car) and am familiar with dog first aid and CPR. I have extra pet seatbelts, harnesses if transportation is required, as well as extra collars and leashes for walks.

Information Allison C. would like to know about your pet

My pets are my family and I treat your pets as would want my pets treated. I want to ensure that you dog is happy and healthy when they stay with me, so I ask that ask my clients to answer the following questions: - how does your dog do with other dogs? (Please be as honest as possible, so I know how to adjust for the environment for your pet) - is your dog up to date on vaccines? - do you use a flea and tick preventative? - is your dog spayed or neutered? - is your dog potty trained? - is your dog leash trained? - is your dog crate trained? - does your dog mark or have accidents in the house? - is your dog food or toy aggressive? - does your dog have anxiety or fear of any sort? (e.g. separation, thunder, children, bikes, vacuum cleaners, etc) - does you dog like to engage in any specific types of play or activities? -who is your vet? - do you have an emergency contact as backup?

A typical day

We go for at least one daily walk; in the summer it is usually in the late afternoon or evening when the day is cooler. I am experienced walking multiple dogs at once, as well with dogs that are new to walking on leash. We also have multiple breaks during day to spend time in the yard. We also have loads of squeaky and chew toys, antlers, bully sticks and yaki cheese, as well as balls, and soft frisbees for fetch.

IMPORTANT NOTES: I screen all pets prior to care to ensure they are in good health and are up to date with their vaccines. Please note that Rover charges sitters a 20% fee to use the platform and my price reflects this. However, they charge owners an additional 11% fee that is calculated when you check out and is not included in my pricing.

Could not be happier with Allison! Completely exceeded expectations, was amazing and patient throughout entire process. Highly knowledgeable about dogs, followed all feeding and medication instructions to the letter. Was able to relax on my trip knowing my fur baby was in loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!
