Information Allison N. would like to know about your pet

This is your family member so we will accommodate to the needs of your pets. I will also send out a pre-visit form to fill out that will help us learn more about your pet, what they like, don't like, and all the fun they can/can not do!

A typical day

Mornings are busy as we will get up, walk and get everyone out the door. We will then quiet down for a bit while the house goes into "chill mode" (a perfect time for a mid-morning nap). Come afternoon, we can play, go for walks and maybe visit the dog park near our house (if your parents say its ok). We can then go for a walk to pick up the kiddo from school and then you will have another friend in the house who also loves to play and cuddle. Following dinner time, and maybe a special treat, we settle down for the evening, go on one last walk and head to bed.

Lakeview Home Away from Home!

Pet care experience

Furry Friends Staycation: Relax & Play! Trust me I know how hard it is to leave your dog when traveling and thats why we are here to offer your dog a friendly home while your away! We love dogs and are excited to share our Lakeview apartment with your "other" family member. While your away we will treat your pup just like we treat our own dog--tons of walks, tons of cuddles, and tons of love. Plus we will send text/email updates while your away so you can enjoy your vacation without worry. Our only request is that because we live in a smaller 2 bedroom apartment that your dog be under 30 lbs so that your dog has plenty of room to play.

Allison has watched Poppy several times now and always does a great job! She gives many updates and Poppy always comes home so tired! You could always tell she is well taken care of and Allison is super responsive. We are so glad to have found her and will continue to book with her!

Allison was wonderful with Magnolia. Communication was great and we received many updates on how Magnolia was doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Magnolia stay with her again.
