Allison J.'s Neighborhood

All the pets, all the walks!!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am an animal lover from way back, I grew up with many animals from rabbits to geese to horses- so if you have any of those too that will work for me. I love connecting with dogs of all breeds and walking them throughout the neighborhood, or going for a hike, or taking them to a park. I am available for walks, check-ins, and boarding in my own home, where I have a yard and am close to multiple walking trails. Expectations and boundaries are important, as are use of cues and reward systems. Everyone's system looks a little different, and I am happy to provide continuity to promote good behavior for your pet. Let's meet and chat to find if it would be a good fit!

Allison was great! My doggies had a really good week, and I came home to a happy and healthy (and clean!) home. It’s clear that she is a dog-lover and cuddles :) Thanks again, Allison! Mo

Alison took great care of my dog and my house. She sent pictures during my trip so I knew that my girl was well. Alison offered updates on her eating, digestion and sleeping. I was so thankful for the thoughtful care. I would highly recommend

Alison was great with Lucy. She sent pictures and communicated through out the visit. My dog was happy and calm when I returned.
