I'm a social dog-loving Dallasite

Pet care experience

I grew up with standard poodles (my family and I even raised a litter of 7 puppies!) I love dogs but had to put my sweet Auggie (older adopted terrier mix) to rest earlier this year and am not ready to commit to the full time responsibility of being a dog Mom again. My work schedule is relative flexible so I’m often able to work from home or leave the office early to spend lots of quality time with your fur baby. Big or small, I’ll provide the same loving care as if s/he were my own. I live directly across from a park which lends itself to long walks and plenty of play time!

We truly cannot say enough good things about Allison! She is amazing with our two fur babies. She stays in contact. She sends videos and pictures. She is the absolute best. She has hosted our pups several times over the years.

Allison was so wonderful! She treated the whole process like a professional and made us feel special even though she only knew us for a weekend. I know my dog was loved under her care. We’d absolutely use Allison again!

Allison was so great with our dachshund Charlie! He is normally shy around new people, but he warmed up very quickly to Allison. She sent lots of pictures and gave Charlie lots of love while we were away. We would love for Allison to watch Charlie again!

Allison was great! She sent regular updates and photos and was super patient with my dog who can be anxious and quirky in new environments.

Information Allison R. would like to know about your pet

Most importantly, I'd like to know how social your dog is - do they get along with other dogs or do they prefer to hang out on their own? I can't stand it when a dog owner approaches with their dog and says "oh don't worry he's harmless" because they have no idea what the temperament of the dog I'm with is like.

A typical day

Depending on where your pup lives, we'd hang out at White Rock Lake or on the Katy Trail, good neighborhood walks are always fun too! Depending on the personality of your dog we'd hang out and people watch or work out lots of energy playing fetch with the ball.
