Allison had a tough job, as one of my dogs is very difficult. She made friends with him right away and took good care of him. I didn't worry for a minuet while I was away. She also gave me great advice for a condition that my pup has. I messed up on some info big time and she was very gracious about it.

I have a very difficult dog, and she got him to warm right up to her.

Allison was great with my dog. She sent pictures. She already had a pup she was watching and she still made space for Noodle. She even standards arranged a meet and greet with the dogs to make sure they would be ok. I was running late at pick up and she still worked with me. If Allison is willing Noodle will be coming back.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like family. I follow their usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also provide lots of attention, love, supervision and updates so both pets and owners feel safe and at ease.

A typical day

I always prioritize maintaining a pets normal routine, providing plenty of attention, and making sure they get both physical activity and affection. I love utilizing brain stimulating toys for pets to challenge themselves mentally. I live right next to the Tobacco Museum here in Durham, which is an ideal place for pets to run and play.
