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.

I have a ~2300 square foot 2 level home. We have a covered sun deck so pets can freely roam in and out of the home. I have a yard but it is not fully fenced or enclosed. We have lots of toys to keep your dog entertained and stimulated. My dog Ollie has no problems sharing.
Home
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 dog's comfort, your dog's 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 frisbee or playing fetch with balls or sticks found around the neighbourhood. I will work with whatever your dogs needs are!

WFH friendly and reliable dog lover
Pet care experience
I have always been a dog 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 3 year old sweetheart named Ollie. Ollie is an Aussiedoodle and one of his life's missions is to play and be friends with absolutely every person and dog he comes across. He's full of energy and is very curious about the world around him. He is so special and incredibly 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 your dog is indifferent, he'll do his best to entice them to play before eventually minding 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 to 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 dog will be safe, happy and well taken care of as if they were my own. **Note regarding pick up and drop off fee** Rover only allows me to set one rate for round trip pick up and drop off. If you would like me to pick up or drop off your pet(s) I will manually adjust the rate based on the distance: - 0-5 km $20 - 5-15 km $30 - 15-25 km $40 - 25-50 km $50 - 50+ km $55+
Reviews
Allison took exceptional good care of Yoko, she had constant communication with us and sent us ton of pictures of how our dog was doing while in her care, needless to say, Yoko loved staying with Allison and Ollie! She was treated with tons of love, given walks, made friends with Ollie (easy to do with such an amazing and happy dog) and she was even allowed to claim a special place on Allison's couch as her own! When we picked her up she looked tired, happy and well taken care of. Thanks again Allison and Ollie for looking after Yoko, we would definitely have Allison in mind for next time we need to leave Yoko for a couple of days!
We had a wonderful experience with Allison! This was our first time leaving our 5 month old puppy Rory, with a sitter, so we were naturally a little nervous. Allison immediately put us at ease with her communication, and genuine love for dogs. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Rory had an amazing time, and it was clear he absolutely loved spending time with Allison and her dog, Ollie. It was so heartwarming to hear that Ollie enjoyed Rory’s company too! Rory came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great day. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Allison again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Rory.
We had a wonderful experience with Allison! She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Allison was also incredibly accommodating with our schedule. We got stuck in unexpected traffic and ended up arriving much later than our planned pickup time. She was so kind and understanding, staying up late so we could pick up our dog without any issues. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate Allison’s kindness, flexibility, and excellent communication. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
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.
