I’ll run and play with your dog!

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Allison Porter! I am deaf and fluent in American Sign Language. I also have the ability to lip read and speak (most of words). I am a dog lover! I adopted my dog, Hunter from Rochester, NY. I moved back here in Minnesota with my dog. He is 6 years old. A sweet and loving dog! I currently live in a house with fenced backyard for my dog to play and run around. I always make sure that dogs get sufficient attentions by playing with them, taking them out for their daily walks, feeding them, and letting them out to play in the backyard / have potty breaks. I definitely will play with your dogs with their favorite toys! My dog had ear infections before, I provided the specific meds / wipes to clean his ears. Let me know if your dogs have medical needs, I’d love to help out too! I usually work in the mornings from 8:00am to 5:30pm everyday from Monday to Thursday, 8am to 3:30pm on Fridays. Most of the times I will be home for the full time. I’m also mostly free on weekends - full time. I love to cuddle with dogs and give them good pets. They are one of my favorite animals. I always loved giving dogs many good belly rubs. They all loved it. Text or email is easiest for me to communicate with you guys. I’d also send the pictures of your dogs playing or doing something!

Allison was great with Tille, she communicated well over the phone and our meet n greet went smoothly. Tille was happy in the yard and with a pal. Definitely recommend!

Once again Allison was great!! Allison is my go-to sitter for my cat who has high stress and anxiety when I go away. It takes my cat a very long time to build trust, and it's been great to see my cat build trust with Allison, and I can feel my cat is in good hands while I'm away! Allison leaves great notes about her visits and takes extra care with the pets who need it, Thanks again Allison!

As always, Allison is great! I've used her several times, and she's helped my high-stress cat feel more comfortable during my trips away with her patience and attention! Thanks Allison!

Information Allison P. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I’m open minded about any breeds! If they have medical needs / behavioral issues, let me know beforehand, I’ll love to help them with their behaviors! I also would love to know what your dogs love to do or what are your dogs’ favorite toys.

A typical day

I’ll take dogs to any fun trails / around the park if it’s nearby during our walks. I also take them to the dog parks (I will ask for the permission before taking them there). I usually take my dog to the dog park for him to run around and enjoy his freedom. I will throw tennis balls for dogs to play fetches. I will find many different toys for dogs to play with! I usually play tug-of-war with my dog. He loves it! I’ll do the same thing for your dogs.

I will get up early in the morning to let them go outside potty for the first thing and after that, I feed them their breakfast and treats. After that we all have free time by playing with toys or running / playing around in the backyard. I also take them out for a walk at anytime during the day time.
