Safe, Adventurous, Fun & Squeaky
Pet care experience
My passion for animals put me in cages with tigers at the age of 19, but it was companion animals that sparked my eternal love affair that was just lucky, to include endangered species. I volunteered three days a week while obtaining my pre-veterinary Zoology degree. Because of experiences earned there; I changed careers from Veterinarian to Wildlife and Endangered Species Conservation. Actually, Professional Volunteer. I was grandfathered in as a veterinary technician and worked in a 24-hour Emergency Clinic and in many of the nonprofits as needed. If I did not have a job involving direct service with animals, I volunteered/interned somewhere that did including: the Carnivore Preservation Trust, Duke Primate Center, Denver Zoo, Greenwood Wildlife Rehab. Center, Rocky Mountain Wildlife Rehab. Center, Reid Park Zoo, Conservator's Center, fostered dogs, cats, hand-raised kittens from birth for Tucson Humane Society, Critter Shack Rescue and most recently for Big Bones Canine Rescue. The safety and welfare of your animal is my most important concern. You will know that I am always thinking about your pet's needs above all else when in my care. Second, is adventure and fun. If your pet/s and I are not laughing and running and both holding and chewing on something squeaky, then I’ve been cloned and replaced while with your precious companion/s, even if that includes bunnies and fish. I also provide full care for horses well. The most important thing you need to know about me, is that my passion for caring about, and caring for animals is palpable, therefore tangible.
Reviews
Allison is fantastic. She loves our animals like her own. She has excellent attention to detail and works hard to ensure everything is taken care of.
We recently moved to Steamboat Springs and our new place didn't allow dogs ?. We found Allison on Rover.com and she was an absolute life saver. She had Bella for about a month. She was amazing with Bella! Taking her out for long walks and even helped train her...she jumped up a lot! I would recommend Allison in a heartbeat to take care of any animal!
We love Allison as a person and her love for animals is second to none. You can trust her with your dog for sure. Great person
Allison is amazing with animals. She has extensive training and experience working with both wild and domestic animals. She is a dog lover and thrives on connecting with animals. Her caring spirit and patience make her a wonderful caregiver for pets. Any dog would be lucky to have her as a walker/sitter!

Information Allison P. would like to know about your pet
Of course I would love to know as much information as possible to best care for your dog!!! What is his/herfavorite kind of toy and games to play? What kind of treats motivate them? Where do they like to be scratched the most - behind the ears or above the tail? Are they shy or timid? Do they have any kind of restrictions I should know about? Do they like piggyback rides?
A typical day
When indoors, we will chew safe on safe and Allison approved toys, run circles in the dining room and play with our imaginations. Otherwise we will hike Mad Creek, Fish Creek Falls, Emerald Mountain, etc. or swim in Steamboat Lake...depending on the time of year.
