Providing cuddles, not cages

Pet care experience

I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Wisconsin (go Badgers). I have never had my own dog, but I’m hoping this coming year to be introducing a goldendoodle into my life. My friends who are lucky enough to have dogs have often asked me to help them dog-sit while they’re away on a trip out of town. Whenever I’m watching someone’s dog overnight, my main priorities are making sure that the dog is fed, hydrated, and given plenty of attention. Play time is an absolute must, especially for young pups! And of course, cuddles are guaranteed with any dog I care for!

Allison was INCREDIBLE! Super responsive, took excellent care of my dog, and exceeded all expectations.

Allison is so good with dogs and other animals, she is basically a disney princess. Dogs must be able to sense Allison's kind, gentle, and loving nature somehow, because they always seem to just flock to her (while rudely ignoring me and anyone else in the vicinity). Perhaps there is a particularly tasty-smelling pheromone for that? Anyway, Allison has proven her motherly caregiving talents for dogs to me on several occasions, but the one that sticks out most to me is how much of a positive presence she was for an adorable puppy belonging to a particularly awful former roommate of mine from college. This roommate would keep his puppy in a cage most of the day and converted our patio into a dog toilet because he was too lazy to take her out on actual walks. But Allison would save the day and make a point to come over as often as possible and give the pup the TLC she so desperately needed. She took that infinitely energetic floof on so many long walks/runs and adventures around the city and lakefront. If I could have stolen the puppy and re-homed her with Allison without facing legal/landlord-related repercussions, I would have in an instant! She will make such an excellent dog caregiver. Your dogs will thank you!

Allison is responsible, caring, and attentive. She did a great job sitting for my darlings and I know she provides high-quality and enjoyable care for all dogs. I highly recommend her services!

Safety, trust & environment

I take your pet’s health and safety very seriously when I agree to watch them for any amount of time. For example, I will keep an eye on their water dish and let them out frequently (or as needed per your instructions). Additionally, I will leash all dogs before we leave the house for a walk so there’s no chance of an escape.

Information Allison H. would like to know about your pet

Information that is helpful before I watch your dog: -frequency they go potty/poop per day -frequency/duration of walks per day -are they scared of anything? -any bad habits? -friendly with other dogs or strangers? -bedtime routine? -any medications or a special diet?

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on long walks around the neighborhood. It not only gives them a chance to be outside, but allows me to explore a (new) neighborhood.
