Safety, trust & environment

It's best to keep your pets typical schedule regarding meals, outdoor breaks, walks, and play time. I will provide what's needed at the usual times throughout the day, ensuring what makes them the most comfortable is done all while having fun at the same time. 100% of clients will receive photos for any of my services. I'm also proud to say that my clients boast that I leave their home in such good shape that it's almost as if I were never there.

Information Allison R. would like to know about your pet

Please provide information if there are any behavioral issues, dislike of other pets or children, specific preferences with care, food or environmental allergies and/or medication needs.

A typical day

I love playing with pets in the backyard, going on walks and exploring new routes, activating the zoomies, and playing fetch or keep away with their favorite toys.

Professional + Exceptional Pet Care

Pet care experience

I've owned and cared for many animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, small rodents and birds over the years. The last couple years have been my first time not owning a pet since saying goodbye to my 14 year-old Dachshund in 2022. I hold old school values in my heart including being personable and friendly, reliable and timely and communicating openly and transparently. I value building long term and meaningful connections and growing my business with great people and their wonderful pets. I truly look forward to the fulfillment I will receive from spending time, playing with and caring for your pets! I'm also the go-to person for close friends and family when assistance is needed with grooming, overnight stays, and support/advice when health issues arise or behaviors change.

Allison took great care of our fur babies and shared numerous pictures and videos. Lily and Daisy (Newfoundlands) were quite happy with her attention and love. We will definitely use Allison again.

Allison was so excellent with our (somewhat elderly) Labrador, Finn. It's the first time we've tried a pet/housesitter and it was so much better for him.

My dog, Olli, who is weary of new people, warmed up quickly to Allison. Marsden, my 13 year old Westie loved Allison too. My dogs and house were well taken care of. while I was away. Allison even continued my usual afternoon walk with my neighbor and her dog!
