Pet care experience

Treats and tail wags 🐕🐾

I’ve grown up with dogs (German Shepherd, Pug, rescues, Jack Russell’s), a cat, and horses. I currently have a 5 year old Lab and 14 year old horse. I’ve been house and farm sitting since my teens. Ranger enjoys hikes, swimming, lounging around, and visits to the barn. I have experience with the life span, from puppies to seniors, various sizes and breeds. I can take your pup out for a walk and/or enjoy time in my fenced in back yard. I’ll communicate (written and pictures) for check ins. I treat every pet like family. We look forward to meeting you!

I had a great experience with Allison! She is very reliable, punctual, and clearly cared about my dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs always came home happy. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

Allison was AMAZING!!! There is no other words for the care that was given to our Lil family member, Mirabel, that stayed with her. As this was the first time using "Rover" I was kinda hesitant but after meeting with her all my questions were answered and I felt content to leave Mirabel with her. Just the greatest!!!

Allison D was a great care giver for our Cricket. She played with, cuddled and entertained her and told us Cricket was well behaved and welcome to return if we needed care provided again in the future.

Allison was absolutely the best! Allison took care of the kittens and my pup. My Aysa needs a lot of attention and does not like to be left alone and Allison was SO UNDERSTANDING AND PATIENT! I would absolutely give her 5 stars and would use her again and would encourage anyone to reach out to Allison to use as a pet boarder!

Schedule

I work full time and, live close by. I’m able to go home to let pups out for a potty break at lunch and walks around the neighborhood after work, and/or play in the back yard. On weekends, I try to go out for a longer/walk hike.
