Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted and loving pet care.
I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I have two rescues (1 cat/1 dog) and they are incredibly spoiled. I’ve worked years in animal shelters, boarding kennels, and have 5 years experience in veterinary clinics. I’ve taken care of many friends’ and family’s pets before, and am very familiar with all breeds, chronic medication, and animal behaviour, as well as knowing how to respond to potential emergency situations. I am great at reading body language and assessing their needs to maintain comfort and happiness. I am a mature, kind, and responsible individual who has been trusted time and time again with other peoples’ furbabies. I love to share my affection with other animals and make them feel comfortable! I am truly happy to be surrounded by furbabies at any time.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, my two are given free rein over the house, although they mostly just sleep during the day (very lazy). They are fed 3 times per day, at specific times, and Murphy gets a walk a day at minimum. In a client’s home, I would adjust to their needs and routine as per their owner’s requests and whatever the animal needs to maintain their usual level of comfort.
Ratings and reviews
Allison was great & very easy going! Came home to a super happy dog
Allison was amazing with my senior dog, Rusty. She took great care of him and sent updates and photos.
Allison was absolutely incredible with our dog, Moose. It’s obvious how deeply she cares for the animals she looks after, and Moose completely adored her. Every time he comes home from staying with Allison, he honestly seems sad to leave — almost depressed for a day or two because he misses her, along with her wonderful dog and cat that he bonded with so well. She provides such a loving, calm, and supportive environment, and she truly goes above and beyond. Moose enjoyed amazing walks, fun outings, and lots of engaging activities while he was with her. It was so clear from the updates and from how happy and relaxed he was afterward that he wasn’t just being “watched” — he was genuinely having a fantastic time and being treated like part of the family. Knowing Moose was so loved, active, and well cared for gave us complete peace of mind. Allison has a very special gift with animals, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Ally is an extremely kind, gentle, and responsible individual! She cared for my dog while I was out of town for several days, and sent me regular updates and photos throughout that time. Your pet is in the best of hands with her! <3
Ally has watched my dog several times in the past while I've been away & I always feel certain that she's in good hands. Not only that, I know that she is fed properly, exercised and in a place where she feels safe with her bestie, Murph!
