Pet care experience
I love making tails wag!
Hello! My name is Allison and I am a certified dog-lover! I have over 15 years of experience taking care of my own, family members', and friends' dogs, as well one year of dog walking with over 100 dogs via the Wag app. I grew up taking care of an adorable toy poodle that I appropriately named Peppy. Ever since I can remember I've helped dog-sit and walk family's and friends' dogs of all kind, some of which include my aunt's adorable yet mischievous Bichon Frise and two clever Jack Russel Terriers, my good friend's sweet and enormous husky, and my grandma's energetic little mutt. In New York I had the privilege of caring for my roommate's full-size Golden Retriever, a gorgeous and gentle giant named Jack, who I regularly took out for walks, bathed, fed, and administered arthritis medication when my roommate was frequently out of town. I joined Rover and Wag after my own dog passed because I can never get enough of dogs and was already helping friends and neighbors dog walk and sit part time. Every minute I've worked with my clients' pups has been such a joy since I've joined. I've gained an average five star rating from over 100 reviews on Wag. I do my absolute best to ensure both the owner and pup are comfortable and happy at all times during our time together, and have taken the time to educate myself, practice, and perfect various techniques to ensure a happy and safe pup no matter the size, breed, or temperament. I took a few year hiatus from Rover due to frequent moves and other life circumstances, but I'm excited to say that I've settled in Huntington Beach and am taking bookings again! It's a privilege to gain the trust and share the love of your loyal, furry friends. I can't wait to meet and spend time with them!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Allison was incredibly professional, communicative, and helpful we had a last minute change in our schedule. Duke also loved hanging out with Meeka! Would recommend!
Allison was great with the kitties and easy to work with, trustworthy and dependable. Highly recommend!
I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Allison took prompt and attentive care of Vivi every day. She sent plenty of pictures and confirmed all of Vivi's care instructions. When they AC wasn't turning on, Allison replaced the batteries in the control unit to ensure my apartment didn't get too hot. Will definitely be booking again!
Allison was incredible! She was the most professional and prepared boarder I have used through Rover! I would recommend her to anyone!
Allison is wonderful, well organized, and great with Nibbler! Would absolutely book her again.
Thank you so much! You were incredibly sweet and caring with our fur baby we’ll definitely be reaching out to you again!

Schedule
Having been a pup mom myself, I understand that pups need special love and care when they are in a new environment without Mom and Dad. Because I work from home, I am happy to say I have the ability to keep your pup company all day. From time to time, I may need to go out for 1-2 hours for errands or appointments but can arrange my schedule to avoid these or even bring them along with me if your pup struggles with separation anxiety.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in the lovely neighborhood of Bixby Knolls. There is a semi-gated, private grassy area within my apartment complex that I take the pups out for potty. For longer walks, I love taking a stroll through the beautiful homes with generous sidewalks and grass in surrounding in the area. I typically take at least 2 twenty minutes walks per day with Meeka, but am more than happy to have an excuse to take longer and more frequent walks if your energetic pup needs more outdoor time. Because my remote work 8a-4p schedule is flexible, I'm able to play, cuddle, and take frequent potty breaks throughout the workday to ensure your pup gets plenty of love.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs, like humans, thrive on routine. This is why I always prioritize mirroring your pup's home routine during their stay in my home. During our meet and greet, I ensure to get details of your pup's schedule, including wake up time, feeding, potty breaks, walking, and bedtime and follow this schedule as closely as possible. Outside of these scheduled events, I enjoy working on the couch while snuggling with your pup on my luxurious fleece blanket and taking breaks to play fetch, tug-of-war, or chase in the living room or my fenced yard. For active pups who love the outdoors, I am always up for a drive to the many dog-friendly hiking trails in the LA and Orange county area. Please let me know if you would like me to take your pup on any of these longer hikes.
