Eyes of animals talk to our souls.

Pet care experience

Many people have relied on me to watch their pets for an evening or a week knowing I send them daily pictures, love them like my own, follow directions on their family members needs, and have an eye for detail. I have watched entire farms with horses, dogs, llamas. donkeys, cats, birds, and fish. I have also watched up to 7 dogs at once and am used to walking multiple dogs at one time. Animals make me happy, to learn their individual personalities and love their souls that make them unique.

I really don’t know where to begin…. Allie is amazing!!!!! We had to find a new dog sitter and after reading about her and seeing pictures of with her own pets, I felt like she was exactly the type of sitter for our babies! We did two meet and greets and she fit right in. The dogs loved her immediately as she did them. She promised to keep them in the same routine they are used to, and do whatever we needed to make us comfortable and not worry about leaving our babies while we were gone. She sent lots of pictures and videos, and it was clear they had taken to her like they’d known her forever. The little ones were in “their nightly spot” sitting right on top of her, and my BIG 110 lb baby slept curled up right beside her! In the past, the dogs usually wouldn’t eat the first day or so after we leave, but they obviously felt comfortable enough that they didn’t skip any meals! She put our dogs first the entire time we were gone. She did not make any other plans after work, so that she could come straight back to them, and she didn’t leave them again till the next morning. She put her life on hold to take care of them the way we do and to give them lots of attention. She played a lot and cuddled a lot and we couldn’t have been happier. On top of that, she has knowledge about animal healthcare and administered medicine to one of them. AND our house looked just like it did before leaving. That says a lot, RESPECT!!!!! Loyalty, Respect, Kind Hearted….. and genuinely loving our dogs (and all animals in general) sums Allie up! And we are so grateful and thankful to have met her!

Allie has been overseeing the care of dogs and horses for over 12 years and is one of the most responsible, dependable animal caregivers that I have been privileged to know! She intuitively understands their behaviors and learns their personalities to always keep them safe. Having shadowed a few times with a practicing vet, her depth of knowledge is ever expanding, providing her the ability to oversee the pets under her care with a broadened awareness. Carefully following schedules and directions, arriving on time, completing all that is asked of her, providing ample affection and attention, and efficiently managing emergencies if needed are some important criteria for pet care where Allie excels. Having a sunny disposition and being easy to communicate with in addition to her variety of competent skills make Allie my first choice when care for my pets is needed.

You will not regret leaving your pets in Allie’s care. She is the most loving and responsible caregiver! Her whole world revolves around animal care both big and small! She’s simply the BEST!

Allie is my go-to babysitter for my sensitive 7 year-old mixed breed dog, Louise. Lou can be very picky about people and can sometimes be reactive to other dogs, but whenever she is with Allie, I never worry about her. Allie is kind, caring, and attentive to animals big and small. She truly treats Louise as well as she does her own dogs whenever she is pet sitting for me.

Safety, trust & environment

I love walking/jogging dogs on leashes whether in a neighborhood, ranch, in town, or on a trail. I also know how to appropriately use a shock collar. I very much enjoy throwing ball in the yard or playing tug of war with a toy. Whatever is provided and instructed for the specific dog I am able and eager to follow direction for their best interest.

Information Allison S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know ahead of time any physical restrictions, specific behavior of that dog, where they like to sleep, if they don't like a specific noise or person, how they interact with other dogs, any medication administration, any quirks that could effect our time together. I would want to know how the owner interacts on a normal daily basis with the dog to keep the routine as similar as possible.

A typical day

I love being able to exercise a dog mentally and physically. So playing games with toys like a hide and seek, teaching them new tricks or simply just taking them out on a walk where they can smell new scents and see new things.

I work a part time job a few days a week at a vet clinic. I would love to be with your pet on days I have off or before and after my work hours. I have Saturdays and Sundays off so you can enjoy the weekend and not worry about your precious pupper.
