Highlights
Pet care experience
Healthcare worker & Animal lover 🩵
I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have years of experience caring for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, play with, supervise, and stay with pets, and I love that the people in my life continue to trust me with their animals again and again. Most recently, I lived for two years with a very energetic Golden Retriever and her cat brother, so I’m very comfortable switching between completely different personalities and energy levels! Whether your dog wants to play nonstop, go for a long walk, chase a ball around the house, or curl up next to me for attention, I’m more than happy to meet them where they are. I’m patient, affectionate, attentive, and not afraid of a high-energy or playful dog. I genuinely enjoy getting down on the floor and playing with them, throwing their favorite toy 100 times, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. I know every animal has their own personality, and getting to know what makes each pet feel happy and comfortable is one of my favorite parts of caring for them!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I take a lot of pride in being clean, organized, and respectful. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat your space with the same care I would my own. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention — and to come home to everything exactly as you left it!
Ratings and reviews
I can’t think of anyone better to trust your dog with than my sister Allison! She has loved dogs since a young age! Allison is super caring, attentive, and a trustworthy person for the job! She will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of and has all their needs met! She will be happily play with them, go the extra mile and provide any extra cuddles your pup needs! Your dog will be in good hands with Allison, guarantee!!!
Ally watched my Bernese Mountain Dog as a puppy multiple times! My dog LOVES auntie Ally. Her favorite toy is the little piggy she purchased for her as a puppy. She is such a loving doggy sitter and sends lots of updates.
Allison is an excellent pet caregiver. She genuinely loves pets, especially dogs and was incredibly sweet with my mini labradoodle. She gave her lots of love and played with her beyond what was expected. I struggle with the idea of leaving my dog with just anyone, but I take great comfort knowing Allison is the one watching her. I have also seen her with a friends larger dog and she did a great job taking care of her as well. I highly recommend Allison as a caregiver for all pets!
Ally is truly amazing with dogs! She is so compassionate, patient, and loving, and I always feel completely at ease knowing Hudson is with her. She takes the time to understand his personality and handles him with so much patience and care. Hudson absolutely adores her, and it’s so clear how much she genuinely loves and understands dogs. I couldn’t recommend Ally enough to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pup!
Ally was great taking care of my 150lb Newfie for both walks and overnights! I am usually hesitant with new caregivers but Ally was a natural. She was one of our regular caregivers before she moved out of town!

Schedule
Hiii!! I’m Allison, a lifelong animal lover with a caring, compassionate personality and a genuine love for spending time with pets of all kinds. I currently work part-time in healthcare while studying for my nursing boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and quality time with your furry family members! Working in healthcare has made me extremely dependable, attentive, patient, and comfortable following detailed instructions. I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust caring for someone you love, and I bring that same level of responsibility and compassion to caring for animals. I’m very active and love being outside, so I’m always happy to take an energetic dog on a long walk, play fetch, explore the neighborhood, or spend extra time getting their energy out. At the same time, I’m just as happy cuddling up on the couch with a senior dog, keeping a shy pet company, or having a relaxing movie night with them. I truly love animals of all sizes, breeds, ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to match whatever routine makes your pet happiest!

- I would love to know as much as possible about your pet before caring for them! Please feel free to tell me about their normal routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, walking habits, treats, toys, quirks, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. If your pet has any special requirements, sensitivities, medications, behavioral needs, or specific household rules, I’m more than happy to follow your instructions carefully. My healthcare background has taught me the importance of paying attention to details and following routines consistently. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in my care. I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and compassion and make their safety and happiness my priority.
