Friendly animal lover & caretaker

Pet care experience

I have had pets most of my life, starting with a standard poodle as a child. I have had my own dog, Oliver, a grumpy old Lhasa Apso for 15 years since he was a small pup and our 10 yo standard poodle, Chestnut, for the last year! In that time, I have taken care of dozens of pets, many different breeds & sizes, for pet sitting, feeding & walking needs. I have experience with special needs dogs & cats, including giving medication, special diets, & behavioral issues *though I am not a behavior specialist.* I love animals dearly & it brings me joy to be around them. I have a fairly active & healthy lifestyle & will be happy to give multiple walks per day, with lots of playtime. Also happy to relax at home, as desired for each individual family & pet. We have a one-story home with a fenced in yard perfect for playtime.

Amazing, Butters took well to Allison. Made sure he did his business. Truly felt at ease on vacation. Knowing he was in good hands. Even got to meet her own pup! :) Private: Thanks so much! I hope we can schedule more walks in the future! Let's talk dates ASAP!

Luna loved her stay with Allison! She was very flexible and cared for Luna like one of her own. Luna is excited for the next time she gets to stay with her new friend :)

Information Allison S. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know that they have experience with other dogs & cats so we could organize our stay peacefully.

A typical day

During homestays, we could take walks in the neighborhood, or the local park. Our dogs mostly mind their own business but remain playful & very friendly with other dogs.
