Pet care experience

I’m a UVA Alum & pet owner/lover with lots of energy and experience caring for animals and children alike my whole life. I love the area and am flexible in my approach and can cater to you and your pets needs. I have experience with puppies to seniors, large to small and look forward to meeting you! I have provided personal assistant services, house, farm, estate sitting and am a UVA Grad so that is a plus with getting around. Having worked on a local and regional level I am familiar with all kinds of personality types and special needs - and am thorough and prompt in working with your schedule. Experience with a variety of farm animals and exotic pets and macropods as well. I can’t wait to speak with you further and look forward to meeting your favorite pets which are basically your children! I have flexibility to accommodate a variety of pet and home care needs whether your are traveling or wanting to set up something regular for your pet. Having owned a strong willed terrier who loves to roam I am very aware of safety needs. I prefer to use harness and retractable leash if you have it - also any carrier crate or bed.

Allison is great with Harry! He actually starts to get excited right before she arrives as if he knows what time it is. Thanks Allison for giving Harry his much needed daily workouts

Allison took great care of our two dogs! She sent daily pictures and we could tell our pups were in great hands. We will definitely book with Allison again soon!
