Working from home full-time Monday through Friday gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week. Because my desk is just a few steps away, I am able to seamlessly structure my day around your dog's needs—taking regular, dedicated breaks to provide refreshing neighborhood walks, interactive playtime, and frequent outdoor potty rests. Your pup will enjoy consistent companionship and routine care without me ever having to leave the house for an office commute.

Information Allison L. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the absolute best experience for your pup, I would love to know upfront about any specific quirks, behavioral challenges, or special needs they might have. Whether they are reactive on a leash, have separation anxiety, need a strict medication schedule, or just have unique bathroom habits, the more information you can provide me, the better! My background with fostering and caring for a senior, deaf dog means I am mostly comfortable handling specialized care—I just want to be fully prepared to support your dog's routine and keep them feeling safe, happy, and loved. I will not watch biters or dogs that are aggressive.

A typical day

Whether your pup is joining me for an energetic neighborhood walk, a quick drop-in visit, or a cozy day of boarding, their routine will be packed with tailored fun. Because I work from home, I love breaking up the day with brisk outdoor strolls, interactive brain games, and plenty of yard exploration. I know that every dog has a unique personality, so I tailor my activities to their specific energy level and comfort zone. For high-energy pups and fosters, that means fast-paced fetch sessions and sniffing out new trails to tire them out. For sweet seniors or pets with special needs, I focus on gentle, slow-paced walks, attentive cuddle breaks, and peaceful companionship. No matter what your dog loves most, I make sure their time with me is the absolute best part of their day!

Pet care experience

If you’re looking for someone dependable to drop in on your pup or take them out for some fresh air and exercise, I am here to help! Working from home gives me the unique ability to step away and dedicate my full attention to walking, check-in services, and boarding for your furry family members. Dogs have been the center of my family's world since we got our first puppy 25 years ago. After our beloved 14-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback passed away in January 2026, we realized just how much we missed the routine of caring for a dog. I love interacting with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Through fostering numerous puppies, I have mastered the art of leash training and high-energy play. Furthermore, because our own dog was deaf and lived to a ripe old age, we are uniquely equipped to provide gentle, specialized care for elderly or disabled dogs during drop-ins, walks, and some boarding. I promise to bring peace of mind with plenty of updates and love!

Our dog has stayed with Allison many times. He adores her and her family! Highly recommend for a worry-free and loving experience. She is always my first choice for our dog sitting needs.
