Availability

I work exclusively at home with a very flexible work schedule. Frequent potty breaks are absolutely no issue. My boy, Ollie, gets 4 walks a day, with 2 of them being a minimum of 30 minutes. I can take your dog for walks alongside mine or alone if that’s the preference! I would be happy to take your dog to a nearby dog park as well. If car rides are enjoyable, I would also be happy to take your dog on a ride if that's what they enjoy. We can work together to figure out what it is that makes you and your dog comfortable and happy.

Information Allison D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pets allergies, medication needs, known triggers for reactivity, how they get along with other pets and people generally. For boarding, what is your dogs schedule and how can we ensure it is not too disrupted and how I can keep your dog happy. Please let me know any kind of information that would be helpful to know to keep your dog comfortable. For boarding and an ongoing arrangement, I will insist on a meet and greet to assess whether we are a good fit, especially since I have my boy, Ollie. You and your dogs comfort, your dogs safety and happiness are the top priorities. I am available and very responsive if you have any questions for me. Thank you!

A typical day

We have interactive treat toys, regular interactive toys to keep your dog engaged. I would love to take your dog to the dog park to see if any dog friends are around for some off leash play. I love throwing around a frisbee or playing fetch with balls or sticks found around the neighbourhood. I will work with whatever your dogs needs are!

Friendly and reliable dog lover

Pet care experience

I have always been an animal lover! I have over 10 years of dog sitting experience for friends and family for short and overnight stays. I have cared for dogs of all ages from puppies to golden oldies. I have experience in giving medication or attending to special care needs. I am a mama to a 2 (almost 3!) year old sweetheart named Ollie. Ollie is an Aussie doodle and one of his lifes missions is to play and be friends with absolutely every person and dog he comes across. He's got a lot of energy and is curious about the world around him. He is so special and very accommodating of other dogs. He'll tailor his energy levels, patience, and playfulness up and down based on who he's playing with. He's super gentle with babies (fur and humans!), patient with the elderly, and if another dog is indifferent, he'll do his best to entice them into playing but eventually minds his own business. I also have 2 teenagers at home who are also dog lovers and would love to have an extra fur baby from time to time come visit and stay. Our family would love to welcome another fur baby into our home permanently but it just isn't the right or responsible time to do so. To keep the feelings of impulsively bringing home another dog at bay, I decided that in the meantime I could just hang out with other people's dogs. I promise your baby will be safe, happy and well taken care of as if they were my own.

Cypress loved his time with Allison and her dog Ollie! I heard from her every day about Cypress’ status which eased my mind while I was out of town.

Allison was fantastic with my dog Kaleo, and I could tell he had so much fun on his walks with her dog Ollie! I especially loved all of the cute photos from their outings together. Thank you 😊
