Safety, trust & environment
I maintain all routines with pets while owners are gone to ensure everyone’s safety. Also, spend the time to learn each pet and what their pastime likes and dislikes are.
Information Allison J. would like to know about your pet
Particular habits or tendencies. Leash aggression, food allergies, food aggression? dog aggression? Particular about certain areas. How they do with fireworks/ thunderstorms? Medications? What neighborhood you're in.
A typical day
I usually like to indulge whatever your pets play level is. Always open to playing with whatever their toy of choice is and running around. We’ll enjoy as long of a walk as they would like and usually let them show me their regular route.

Previous Veterinary Technician
Pet care experience
I spent 8 years as a full time CVT at a downtown cat/dog animal hospital. Handling all responsibilities from kennel care to monitoring surgery and worked my way up to Tech Manager in my time there. I am currently a part time student and working part time, so I'm more available to spend the day with your furry babies. Most of my pet sitting has been for pets requiring medication(i.e. diabetics, heart disease) or special handling due to reactivity to others. Rate changes could apply based on pet needs. A happy pet is my main goal. We will enjoy what they like to do. Some activities in the past have included fetch, "running" through the house (when allowed), walks, and any snuggles they choose to dish my way! In addition, feedings will be followed as instructed, fresh water daily. Long stays or daily visits are welcome. I have sat households of many sizes, from a single pet to six. Dogs of all sizes. Additional pets; furry, feathered, or scaled. Scheduling in advance is suggested, holidays book early and quickly.
Reviews
Allison has been an amazing dogsitter for our dog, Max. This is the third time we’ve worked with her, and she continues to exceed expectations every time. She’s reliable & communicative, and most importantly Max is always happy and well taken care of when we return. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Highly recommend Allison!
Allison was amazing. Our dogs were very comfortable around her and Allison was excellent with communication. She kept us well informed. We could not have had a better sitter for our dogs. We highly recommend Allison.
Allison was great - it’s always good when you come home to a happy and relaxed dog, and she kept us updated throughout. Will definitely book with her again when we next go away!
Allison was great with our dog. She was super understanding and open to our dog’s timeline and comfort level. Definitely recommend!
