Compassionate reliable dog sitter

Pet care experience

I am a compassionate dog sitter who loves all breeds. I have always had dogs and have always been comfortable around all breeds. I started dog sitting during the summers while I was in college and have continued to do so ever since. I have been dog sitting and dog walking for almost 5 years now, branching out from family friends to co workers and friends of friends. I have a lot of experience with short nose breeds having grown up with bulldogs and boxers and having walked and dog sat for them. I am well acquainted with the issues they can have with overheating as well as possible ear and skin problems.I am a dog lover who will take of your dog like it's my own while you are away, allowing you to enjoy travel worry free.

I adopted my two-year old rescue lab this year and, she likes to keep me on my toes (by jumping fences or pulling down the latch on the front door to escape for a jaunt around the neighborhood!) I felt 100% confident leaving her with Allison when I had to go away and you could tell she was well taken care of. Thank you, Allison!

Allison is an undeniable dog lover! She has watched our boxer and lab mix numerous times and they are always delighted when she walks through the door. She has also proven herself worthy to handle unpredictable dog antics, including a time where the dogs brought possums in the house ? We highly recommend Allison!

Information Allison M. would like to know about your pet

Before watching a dog I like to know of any allergies or food sensitivities a dog may have as well as any phobias or problem habits. I like to know what kind of medicine they take, if any, and how often they get new water and food, how often they need to go outside, and where they expect to sleep. It's also important to know how they interact with other dogs and people so I know if they can go for walks in populated places or if it's best to stay close to home. I also like to have an emergency contact number as well as the dog': vet number just in case. I have experience with dogs from 6 months to 12 years old and can accommodate the needs of puppies as well as senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with short noses breeds, especially bulldogs and boxers, and am very good at cleaning facial folds and putting in ear drops. I also can get tricky dogs to take their medicine.

A typical day

Depending on the dog (energy level, size, socialization,) I could take the dog in walks around the neighborhood, at the oceanfront or the state park. Your dog can also look forward to lots of games of tug of war and fetch while I'm there as well as quality snuggle time.
