Hello! I am a huge animal lover.

Pet care experience

I have cared for my family’s dog (medium size, strong puller) for the last ten years. I took him on long walks, fed him, and groomed him. He has severe anxiety, so I gained experience working with anxious dogs. I also have experience pet sitting three dogs and one cat for a neighbor for a week and dog sitting another dog for over a month. I can bathe dogs, clean litter boxes, play fetch/tug of war, etc.

Allison was a great caretaker for our 2 year old highly energy Golden Retriever Daisy. Seeing Daisy has never had to be without us we weren't sure exactly how she would react seeing we would be gone for several hours. Daisy took to Allison right away, and Allison was very comfortable in correcting Daisy to stop jumping on her. The rest of the evening went okay with Daisy parked at by the door waiting for us. Alison did send us updates and tried to play with Daisy but Daisy was just to sad to play so I'm sure she got plenty of belly rubs instead. Allison cleaned up after herself and made sure Daisy was well taken care of. We are definately feeling good about contacting her again for any future plans that we may have. She was on time, well prepared and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love your dog like you do. Thank you Allison for taking such good care of Daisy, hopefully next time she won't be jumping quite as much on you and actually play rather than sit by the door waiting for us. Daisy says she loves you, even though you are not Mommy and Daddy.

Allison took such wonderful care of my two senior dogs, who both need different medications, routines and care. Allison also rushed back when I had a travel mishap and couldn’t return on time, which I was very grateful for. She was great with both of them and I came back to two very happy and contented pups. I would highly recommend her!

Allison has taken great care of my dog Rufus, who has extreme anxiety. She is always very thoughtful and caring when taking him for walks and pet sitting. Rufus really enjoys spending time with her.

When caring for a pet, I always try to build trust first by using their love language— whether that be treats, petting, games, quality time, etc. I am firm without being harsh and able to handle more boisterous pets.

Information Allison H. would like to know about your pet

Beyond a dog’s daily routine, I would like to know any unique features about your dog. That includes any fears they may have, what their love language is, what are the actions they use to express emotion (happiness, anxiety, etc).

A typical day

I love walking around the neighborhood as well as taking dogs to hiking trails so they can enjoy nature. I’d love to take dogs to dog parks as well to play fetch or run around.
