Pet care experience

I smile at dogs I see on the street

I’ve taken care of dogs for my whole life. From having puppies, rescues, and volunteering at shelters I have a well rounded experience with all types of dogs. I believe every dog deserves love no matter how big or small, loud or quiet, anxious or playful. I have experienced many different types of dogs and been able to cater to their needs from being able to administer medicine, provide longer walks, potty train or crate train, I’m used to it all. I have worked with reactive dogs who are needed to be kept away from other dogs, and understand the importance of setting boundaries with other dog owners/ walkers. I have successfully worked with senior dogs who require specific feeding schedules, vitamins, and more frequent potty breaks. I have taken care of and owned dogs who are anxious and require different types of attention than a typical dog would. Additionally, I have volunteered at my local shelter where I’ve been around all dogs puppies to seniors and help feed, walk, and clean them in a way that makes them comfortable. I love all breeds weather it’s a pitbull to a golden retriever and everything in between. I am an avid dog lover and advocate and looking to spend a little bit more time with them when you may not be able to be there.

We’ve never used rover or left our Rottweiler alone, so we were very nervous at first, but Allison could not have been any better! She updated us every day and took amazing care of Bowser. We highly recommend her and will be rebooking her in the future :)

I was very comfortable leaving Barbie with Allison. She was very attentive and gave me updates on how Barbie was doing.

Allison is so friendly and welcoming. She eased my anxieties about my dog misbehaving or causing her trouble so I could concentrate on caring for my kids while still making my dog a priority.

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy long walks and having a companion with me during them! I understand the importance of allowing them to sniff and explore the environment they’re in. However, I also understand some dogs may need some boundaries during walks and I’m comfortable setting those as well. I’m able to put your dog in their crate if needed and provide them with food and treats as stated by the owner. Also happy to provide pictures of your good boy or girl so you know they’re in good care :)
