Pet care experience
Hey there! My name is Ally & I have been dog-sitting for many years. I am currently in my first year of my Veterinary Technologist program and have worked in the veterinary industry for over 3 years. I am also certified in pet first aid. I grew up with German Shepherds and have had 5 in my life time (family dogs). I currently do not have any pets of my own in my household. I do accept multiple pets from the same household, however; I will not allow multiple pets from different households. Your fur-babies are my priority and they will have the house to themselves for the stay. A little bit about my home: I have a small fenced yard for potty breaks and many walking trails around for longer walks and exercise. The doggos are allowed to sleep with me if that is their usual routine, however; if they are kenneled, please ensure you provide a kennel as I no longer have one in my possession. I do have a large Kirkland dog bed so no need to bring a bed unless they prefer a specific one. Things to bring: dog food, treats, toys, leash, collar, bowls (if specific - I do have some at the house), any supplements or medications, and anything else that will make it feel homey while they are on their doggy vacation. Please also provide detailed instructions if they do have allergies or food intolerances at all. I do not accept: un-spayed females, puppies under the age of 1yrs old, cats or other animals (only dogs). If you have any questions about any of this, please send me a message.

Reviews
Allison was fantastic with our golden retriever! We felt very much at ease knowing he was in her care!
As a first time user, Allison was exceptional with my pup. She sent daily photos and updates as to how my pup was adjusting. I would definitely recommend Allison to anyone needing their pups boarded.
Allison was so great with Caper! He seemed to fit right into her routine and looked so happy. She was quick to respond and gave excellent updates and photos. Would highly recommend.
We had Ally stay at our house with our pups for the weekend and she is just so great!!! She sent us lots of updates and the dogs clearly loved her because we got lots of pics of them snuggling with her in bed! Thank you Ally for taking such good care of our babies ☺️ We were able to enjoy our wedding knowing they were in great hands!

Home
Information Allison P. would like to know about your pet
Anytime I pet-sit for a client I am fully transparent with what the experience will be like. I cannot always accommodate 3 walks a day as I am a full time student with multiple other commitments. I do expect owners to be transparent with me as well - letting me know their fur-babies schedule and their regular habits. This will help to ensure the best stay for both you (the owner), myself and the pet.
A typical day
My pet-sitting days normally entail a walk, fetch, tug, snuggle time and more. This is all dependent on the energy level of the dog and what their every day schedule is normally like. Please note, any time a dog is in my care and is not in the house or a fenced backyard, it will be on a leash. I do not let any dog off-leash for any reason while in my care. Please indicate if this will be an issue in your booking request.

My day: I work at a clinic nearby and normally come home on my lunch. On a regular day, they would only be left alone for 4-5 hours at a time while I am at work.
