Pet care experience

Hey there; I’m Allie! My family and I live in Shadowlawn, but we love exploring VA Beach together! I have 2 boys: a 7 year old, distinguished gentleman of a golden retriever (Owen) and a 4 year old goob of a Bernese Mountain Dog (Fitz Roy). You may have caught us searching for sourdough at the Farmer's Market, running the trails at First Landing, or taking a sunset swim at the North End! I started on Rover about 5 years ago then took some time off to focus on my own boys. I'm offering my services again because I realized that I can never have too many dogs in my life! I will treat your pet like my own, giving them the love and attention I would give my own boys. I have am more than happy to assist with puppy/behavioral training and have significant experience working with XL dogs. Fun Facts: I like to make dog treats at home and will cater to any allergies - considering my boys have plenty! Most Important Thing to Know About Me: I will absolutely ask to pet your dog in public and will probably remember their name before I remember yours

Allison is great! She took such great care of Misha. We will definitely leave Misha with her again. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

Allie is an amazing person and definitely a dog lover. She has watched my Australian Shepherd/Husky pup a few times and my dog LOVES her and her Golden Retriever Owen too. I know I never have to worry about Kaia when she’s with Allie. I’ve also gotten pictures/videos of the pups so that has always put a smile on my face. :)

Allison is a very caring, loving, and responsible and her qualities are not only directed towards dogs. She treat every dog ad even her friends as part of her family and takes care of them as such. Allison has the exact qualities to make any dog owner hiring her feel secure with her looking over their loved ones.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand it can be stressful having someone new watch your dogs, so I would love the opportunity to get to meet your and your furry loved ones ahead of time, when the opportunity presents itself. This will let me understand their schedule, quirks, likes and dislikes. If I have the opportunity to watch your pet, I'll go the extra mile to give you updates/photos of our adventures and let you know that they're having a good time! Boarding/Daycare: Although my boys are very friendly and well socialized, I am presently not offering boarding or doggie daycare in my home, but am open to house sitting if you find yourself in a bind. Can't hurt to ask!

Information Allison J. would like to know about your pet

What is your dog's energy level? I want to make sure your Aussie is getting run or your Golden is getting rubs! No matter the energy level, I want to ensure your pup is getting the appropriate exercise for their health. Does your dog have aggressive tendencies or social anxieties? I have experience working with both, but would like to know ahead of time so I can minimize situations that trigger those behaviors and understand how you work with your pups through them. Does your dog require special attention or medication? I'm more than happy to help with at home treatments, just give me a run down of medicines and/or exercises! Is your dog on any special diet or have any allergies? I love to end the visit with a treat, if you're okay with that! If so, what's your pup's favorite treat?

A typical day

We are early risers, especially during the summer, so we can get those early walk/runs in! My remote work permits me a very flexible schedule throughout the day, however, I would prefer as much notice as possible. That being said, if you ever find yourself in a bind, please reach out and I will do my best to accommodate!
