Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifetime Caretaker
My pets have ranged from lively German shepherds to disabled chihuahuas, wandering hounds, lively Shetland sheepdogs. and even feral cats and their litter of kittens who claimed my home as theirs until they were ready, healthy, and cleared to go to loving homes. I have 30 years experience with puppies through seniors - health needs through special needs. Training for puppies on leash walks through walking seniors in a stroller. I excel at bonding and building trust with pets and look to have a unique connection with each.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Allison M. is the BEST !!! She is a consummate professional and always reliable. She treated my dog and multiple cats with love and care. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to care for your animals.
Allison was our pet-sitter for our four cats while we were abroad on our honeymoon. She did an amazing job keeping all the routines of each animal intact, keeping up with grooming (3 of the 4 are medium/long haired cats) and providing lots of extra time for play and individual attention. She even slept on the sofa a couple nights so she could snuggle with our Ramsey who was really missing his people, and it cemented a lasting bond between them. In short Allison was responsible, communicative, professional, caring, and affectionate with our pets and I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to have her pet sit for us again.
Allison is a beautiful soul inside and out. Her love of animals is something really special. I trust her wholeheartedly with my cat and dog and know they are loved and safe when I’m gone. She’s also the first person to help a stray in need. She really appreciates the beauty in all animals.

Safety, trust & environment
Caring for your dog: I will only walk on leash - no unleashed care unless within a fully fenced backyard. If you are training your dog, I will be able to continue with training. I am able to administer medication if needed. If your dog has any allergies or requires special food, please be sure to let me know. Happy to perform brushing or baths if needed. Pets, hugs, playtime, or lounging and relaxing - whatever their preference and makes them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. As for caring for your cats, I request a full schedule of their feeding times, and recommendations as to what they enjoy playing with. If they like to be brushed, please note. If they are skittish or love attention from people, please let me know so I can provide them with a level of care that will allow them to feel safe.

A typical day
I love to get to know your dogs: what makes them happy, so I can provide them with the right type of stimulation and care! I love to go on walks and make an adventure of it. The goal is to provide healthy and safe stimulation for their eyes, ears, and noses! I’m a cuddler by nature but if your dog isn’t - I’ll take my cues from them. Expect gentle chatting and playing. I love to connect with them.
