Pet care experience
My name is Allison I'm a dog lover; I wish I could have one of my own but at the moment I'll have to make do with doting on your pet ;-) I've been dog sitting/walking for over 10 years and I have raised three puppies with Guide Dogs for the Blind. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and abilities. I can help with obedience training and belly rubs. I have a dog friendly car. When I’m not working you can find me biking on Mt. Tam, backpacking in the High Sierras, or reading in a hammock. Thanks for letting me hang out with your pup!
Reviews
We had such a wonderful experience with Allison. She took great care of our dog, who has special behavioral needs, and our house as well. She was a great communicator and sent lots of updates and pictures. She was very flexible and was willing to work around our travel schedule. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
Allison was wonderful - she was great with communication and took good care of our 3 dogs. I'd definitely recommend her and have her back again!
Allison was so sweet and caring for my Bubba while I was out of town. She kept me up to date on how everything was going back at home and left my place spotless. I highly recommend Allison!
From the moment I reached out to her, it was clear that Allison would be a great-fit sitter for our pets and our home. This was the first stay we booked using Rover, and we've already booked Allison for another stay in a couple of weeks. During out intro visit, both my husband and I felt confident that Allison would attend to all the various details that would need attention—including an early-morning visit to feed and walk our dog since we had an early-morning departure. In addition to following our instructions, Allison was a good communicator and attended to some last-minute details that I threw her way. We're really pleased with the experience!
About Allison D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I try to maintain as close a schedule as they’re used to, minimize the change in routine. I am mindful about latching gates and locking doors. I’ll keep your dog on leash unless we’re in your fully fenced yard or at an approved dog park.
Information Allison D. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about your pet’s favorite things, and if they have any sensitivities. How they react to strangers - human, canine, feline. Let me know their endearing qualities or problems to work on.
A typical day
We can walk around the neighborhood, hiking trails, the beach! Whatever your pup is comfortable with, I love an excuse to explore the headlands (and listen to audiobooks) with a furry friend.

Availability
I work 9-4:30 M-F in Mill Valley. I can do long morning or evening weekday walks but I probably can’t do a midday walk/bathroom break. As a result, weekend bookings are best - unless you live near the library, in which case I could probably pop in for a quick lunchtime check in.
