Pet care experience
- (She/they) - Covid vaxxed I am a very personal sitter - I have held an umbrella over a dog's head so she did not have to feel the rain, I stay at your home so your dog does not have to travel around, and I walk and/or take pups to the park. I have owned dogs all of my life and I plan to continue that trend. I know how it feels to worry about getting home on time to let them out, feed them, or simply keep them company. All I want out of this is a sense of security for you to know that your dog is happy, fed, and having fun and there is no need to worry or stress that your dog is without you. I do work Mon-Fri from 6-2:30, so I am available around that!
Reviews
Allison was watching our GSD puppy and I couldn’t be happier to find her. She did everything we talked about; long walks, playtime, parks. She was sending pictures and videos every day. Allison is very reliable person and truly loves pets. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends. She is a great dog sitter. Thank you very much, Allison.
Allison was so fantastic!! She was responsive and responsible. I loved the photos and videos I got too—it was easy to tell Bagel was getting a lot of love while I was gone. My apartment was well cared for too. It was so refreshing to know both my tiny boy and my home were in good hands. I highly recommend Allison & would definitely use her again!
Allison was wonderful. She took great care of Brody and sent several pictures and updates throughout the night. I will absolutely be using her for any future pet sitting needs!
Allison has been my weekly dog walker for a while now and I love her! And so does my dog! He gets so excited to see her each weekend and loves having Allison take him! Sometimes she even takes the time to walk him on a nearby trail and always takes pictures/videos of my baby ♥. I also appreciate that she lets me know way before hand if she is going out of town or not available. Thank you Allison!

I have yet to have pets stay in my home, but my cats have been around dogs before and have done fine. If that needed to happen, I would ensure the proper introductions were done beforehand to make sure everyone gets along. IMPORTANT: if booking boarding, it would be best if your pet is not a "prey" oriented animal (I have 2 cats, I wouldn't want the dogs I board to try and harm them). In terms of walking or house visits, I typically treat it as I would hope my own pets are cared for: frequent visits, filled with enrichment and love. And probably treats :)
Information Allison D. would like to know about your pet
I do not have breed preferences, however, if your dog is not good around other animals or people that would be helpful to know so I know when and where to take dogs walking. I once took a dog to a state park but she growled and barked at every child we walked by and I was worried that she would hurt someone.
A typical day
This depends on what your pup likes to do! I'll take them to the dog park, take them for walks around the neighborhood or at a park, or simply sit on the ground and play or cuddle. If your pet is having a good time, I am having a good time! The dogs pictured in my profile are all ones that I currently take care of, whether it is staying at that owner's house or simply letting the pups out throughout the day (including walks).
Services
Allison can watch in your home
Availability
I own two cats, so pet care is daily. I work early enough that I have plenty of free time afterwards to provide care to others, as well as my own! I'm typically around on the weekends, and always make sure that any pets I may be watching are taken care of before I do anything.
