Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
This is the second time Allison has watched our dog at her house, and just like last time she made the process super simple and our dog had a great time! Will continue to book Allison in the future!
Allison was amazing and took great care of our pup. I really liked the way she carefully introduced my dog to her own dogs. She was great with communication and willing to make accommodations to make my life easier. Strongly recommend!
Allison was extremely patient with me and Odyssey. I had to be moving around for 3 days and all the while when she cared for my dog i got constant updates on her well being. I was very fortunate she was available in the timeframe i had requested and also my puppy seems to have really enjoyed the adventure with her and her wonderful dogs.
Allison took impeccable care of our older dog who has significant special (extra) care needs. We are so grateful to have found a dog sitter who looks after our pet as if it were her own, and whose home is so amenable to doggy guests. I wish I could give Allison 10 stars here; she is exceptional!

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, usually in the late afternoon or evening when the day is cooler. I am experienced walking multiple dogs at once, as well as walking dogs that are new to walking on leash. We also have multiple breaks duding 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.

Availability
I run a small business from my home, which means I am able to give all my dog guests ample attention and time. It also allows me more flexibility to serve my customers’ schedules and any emergencies that come up.
