The Best Care for Your Best Friend!

Pet care experience

As someone who grew up around animals and is an aspiring veterinarian, dog-sitting and caring for animals is one of my favorite things to do. I consider myself an easy-going and laid-back person who is passionate about caring for animals . I'm currently working at Good Hands Animal Hospital as a kennel technician, caring for dogs and cats daily. I'm available on weekdays before 8 am and after 2 pm, and usually anytime on weekends. I'm willing to walk and/or care for animals no matter what the weather is and also take dogs to the dog park, on walking trails, and anywhere else that is requested by owners. I also enjoy taking care of cats and other small animals (if needed) and enjoy spending time with pets of all sizes.

Allison has taken care of two dogs - feeding and watering, exercising, vet visits, kennel upkeep - for the last 10 years. This past summer she fostered two 9-week old puppies for two weeks which included changing bedding, exercise, feeding and watering and basic care. Allison has also helped family members when they were on vacation by feeding, watering and exercising their dogs. Allison plans to become a veterinarian and hasn't met an animal yet that she doesn't like!

Allison has been taking care of pets practically her whole life. When she was born, we had two rescue cats and as she got older, her job was to help feed, water and groom them. After those two passed, we have since taken in three more. When she was nine, we rescued two puppies and her job was to feed and water them plus take care of their doghouses and enclosure by changing out their hay. Once she turned 16 and obtained her driver's license, she took care of my brother's two dogs while they were on vacation, which included administering medications. Last summer, we fostered two puppies from our local Humane Society for two weeks. The puppies were nine weeks old at the time, and she was in charge of all of their care. This school year as part of her senior year curriculum, Allison is enrolled in a Work Based Learning program with a local veterinarian, Good Hands Veterinary Hospital as a kennel tech. She has been able to assist in various procedures including surgeries. Last fall, one of our dogs received a spider bite that made his head swell. Not only did Allison assist the vet by draining the wound, she also spent many sleepless nights caring for the dog, administering medications, changing dressings and nursing him back to 100% health. Her love for all kinds of animals was evident at a very early age, and her plans are to become a veterinarian. She has never met an animal that she doesn't like, and works hard to gain the love and trust of those animals that might be shy and standoffish. Not only will Allison make sure any pet in her care is clean and well-fed, she will also make sure there is plenty of play time and lots of snuggles!
