Availability
I primarily work as a tour guide in Pike Place Market! It's a fun, flexible job that allows me a lot of home time. The most I'm ever gone during the day is 3 hours, so your dog would have to be ok to be in my place alone for that long (perhaps with a frozen Kong or the like?). When I host, I don't go out at night. I live in a apartment and am in the habit of frequent walks. When watching elderly dogs that need a lot of pee opportunities, I take around 5-7 short walks a day. Higher energy dogs get looooong walks with plenty of opportunities to sniff everything.

Safety, trust & environment
Were I to need to drive your pet anywhere, the backseat of my car has one of those hammock things so they don't fall off the seat + doggy seatbelts. I also know the quickest route to my closest 24/7 animal hospital. Fine with crates and/or their own bed if that's what your pet needs to be happy. If they aren't particular about their bed, I have one. I'll only host 2 dogs if they are from the same family/can do leash walks well together; the norm for me is one at a time. There are dog parks near me, but I won't go without owners' thumbs up and me knowing the dog well.
Home
Information Allison F. would like to know about your pet
I'll take all the information I can get from you, whether it be quirks or special needs. I know that dogs feel safest and happiest in routines and I want to accommodate each as best I can. Please note that since I do live in an apartment, all outside time is leashed walks. I'm happy to do a bit of training with dogs that aren't great walkers (yet).
A typical day
Most days I'm doing freelance work/art in my home. When I'm hosting a dog this is interspersed with walks about every 2-3 hours and enrichment games in between. Lazy dogs fit in perfectly, but I also have some high-energy ball/toy-obsessed dogs in my rotation; everyone gets what they need! If you're in the midst of any training activities that you'd like me to reinforce, if you give me a rundown, I'm happy to do so.

You Dog's New BFF in Belltown!
Pet care experience
I'm the default pet sitter for my friend group and genuinely love hosting a new friend, figuring out what makes them comfy, and sending their parents a lot of pictures! My own sweet pup passed away earlier this year—I'm not quite ready for a new pet, but love hanging out with them. He had a lot of unique needs towards the end of his life, so I'm fine to administer meds, take very slow walks, carry when necessary, etc.
Reviews
Allison was an amazing sitter for our sweet Milli. She was easy to coordinate pickup/drop off with, and was very communicative throughout Milli’s stay with her. We knew that Milli was in good hands, and we picked up a very happy dog afterwards. Highly recommend!
Allison was very kind and sweet to my pup. She constantly kept me updated with pictures and my dog looked nice and content when I picked her up. 10/10 would recommend!
Allison was so great with my dog. I could tell my dog had a good time with her. I received a lot of photos so I felt good about leaving Zeta with her and will definitely book again :)
Great communication, treated our big energetic Lab with care and humor. We knew he was in good hands the whole time. ❤️
