🐾 A Home Away from Home | Loving, Reliable Dog Care 🏡🐶 About Me: As dog owners ourselves, I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to care for your pup while you’re away. Our family dog, Charlie, is a huge part of our lives, and whenever I travel, my biggest challenge is finding someone who will care for him like I do. That’s why I started offering dog-sitting—because I understand how much peace of mind matters. I love going to the dog park and exploring local trails, especially at Veterans Park. If you frequent the park, we’ve probably crossed paths! Your pup will enjoy plenty of outdoor time, playtime, and snuggles in a safe, loving, home environment—just like they would with you. Services We Offer: ✔ Overnight Boarding 🌙 – Your dog stays with us, just like family. ✔ Drop-In Visits 🏡 – Potty breaks, feeding, and playtime while you’re out. ✔ Dog Walking 🚶♂️ – Walks, fresh air, and park adventures. ✔ Medication Administration 💊 – If your pup needs extra care. ✔ Play & Socialization 🎾 – Structured activities to keep them happy and active. Why Choose Us? ✅ I have Been There – I know what it’s like to find the right pet care, and we treat your pup as our own. ✅ Safe & Loving Home – No kennels, just a cozy home environment. ✅ Park & Trail Adventures – Walks and playtime at Veterans Park and beyond. ✅ Daily Updates – Expect photos and videos so you can relax while you’re away. ✅ Flexible & Personalized – Every dog is different, and I adapt to their needs. When your pup stays with me, he/she is family—just like Charlie is. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet!

Ratings and reviews
Allison was great with Toby. Toby must have been very busy playing because he was good and tired when he got home. We appreciate her care with his medications. We will be using her again.
Allison and Dio were absolutely amazing!!! They took care of my sweet little Casper for over a week and a half during the Thanksgiving holidays while we were out of town. Casper enjoyed his day with Allison and her family! He had so many cuddles and treats, it was hard for him to come back to us. Thank you for taking good care of our little monster over the holidays.
Allison & Dio are absolutely amazing sitters. You can tell they radiate genuine care and kindness. I trust my dog there more than any other sitter!
Excellent people who are dog lovers that took great care of my girl. Sent pictures and videos and I had great piece of mind on my trip. Will book with Allison again!
Allison and her husband were absolutely wonderful to my dog, and I would be lucky to have them watch Frodo again!
I can’t say enough great things about Allison! She has a natural connection with animals, and pets instantly relax around her. She’s helped out with both dogs and cats in our circle, and every time, she’s gone above and beyond. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. If you want someone who’s reliable, loving, and has a huge heart for animals—Allison is your person. AP and Tina

A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities for exercise! I love going to the dog parks around Lexington, like Jacobson or Masterson Station, where pups can run, socialize, and explore. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood or on local trails if they prefer a calmer outing. Whether it’s playing fetch in the yard, going for a car ride, or just relaxing with some belly rubs, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and at home while you're away.

- It’s important for me to know about your pet’s routine, temperament, any medical conditions or allergies, and how they typically do around other animals or new people. I also like to know their favorite toys, treats, and any behaviors you’re working on so I can help keep things consistent and stress-free for them while you’re away.
