These paws were made for walking!
Pet care experience
I have always had an animal and grew up with cats and dogs. I love walking dogs, playing with animals, and being around pets. I have dog sat in the past for neighbors for a whole weekend, and I frequently take friends' dogs on walks. I love being around animals and spending time with them. I have experience giving dogs oral medicine; even dogs not enjoying medication.
Reviews
Can’t thank Allison enough. Went out of her way to set up meet & greet for first time nervous dog mom. Kiera was well taken care of and loved her. I appreciate all the communication and pictures. Wonderful experience for all of us!
Thank you Allison, appreciate your help taking care of Winston!
Allison was so great checking in on our pup with constant updates and pictures - looking forward to reaching out to her more moving forward about walking Winston!
I highly recommend Alice! She provides care and attention, above and beyond, and it shows. My dog loves her! When we come home after a weekend away our dog is happy and relaxed. Alice’s comfort around dogs and her calm and kindhearted manner make her a great caregiver for any pet.

Safety, trust & environment
When I have dog sat, I ensure the dog is taken on walks, plays, and sticks to their schedule. I make sure the client's living space is left clean and tidy and their pet is happy and calm when I go. For walking dogs, I leash the dog appropriately and make sure the client's home is locked and secure. When I return their dog, I guarantee their home is locked and secure, and their dog is happy when I leave.
Information Allison R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know of any necessary medical information. Particularly with anxious dogs, knowing this beforehand will inform how I approach the dog and read their body language.
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks and play with them inside and outside. I observe the dog for signals and cues for what they need and decide from there.
