So my daily and weekly routine is meeting people who have dogs and giving them my dog walking/ dog services cards!! I like to walk around outside and I love having dogs as my companions! I am a couple months new to this area so I think dogs help bring up conversations!!! All dogs can tell if people are good souls or not….. Dog instincts are just so unbelievably smart!!!! So my routine is taking care of YOUR DOG(S) and bonding with them!! I love doing meet and greets! So I can’t wait till I can meet another new friendly doggy face 🐶❤️ If you see me around please do hesitate to say Hi! I can’t wait to hopefully be apart of your dogs life!

Safety, trust & environment

I am huge on Safety! If your dog has good recall and is smart off leash then I can take them to an off leash dog park, if your dog needs more control and a leash is need I can take them on plenty of walks around the trails and yards that are fenced in! I will never ever let a dog off leash because anything is possible, that is my number 1 rule! Unless the pet and I are in an enclosed area!

Information Allison S. would like to know about your pet

My first question is “ Is your dog friendly with other dogs or do I need to keep them away from other dogs! That’s the biggest question! It’s so fun to watch dogs run around with each other and play with tug of war with each other! If your dog needs to stay away from other dogs I can keep it very happy and stimulated with toys and being 1 on 1 with the dog as well!!!

A typical day

I love to go on the trail and walk by the river! If they love to play fetch or tug of war I will play with them! Also, some dogs just like to sit and watch! Anything you do with your dog, I can do the same thing! Also if your dog likes to mingle with other dogs there are multiple dog parks here in York!!

Pets

I’ve never met a pet I didn’t like

Pet care experience

I’m giving ALL the pets I take care of and have the honor of meeting ,ALL THE LOVE THEY DESERVE!! My neighbors always called and relied on me to take care of their pets! I’ve been pet sitting close to 20 years! I love all pets! I treat every pet as if they were mine! I actually am trying to make some clientele for my new pet sitting business! I am following my dreams of becoming a pet sitter! I want everyone to feel safe and comfortable with me taking care of their pets! They don’t need to resort to kenneling them! I want you to know that if it’s your and your fur-babies first time being away from each other, I have found ways to help your animals anxiety go away, and I am great at taking them out of that feeling… So I just want to be able to help anyone and everyone, whoever needs these services! I love the bond I’m able to make with the animals I’ve taken care of, they usually come back and I get to be in there lives and I really appreciate the owners that let me be in there animals lives!! !

Allison is so sweet and caring to my pups! She sent multiple pictures and updates every day to help ease my anxiety over leaving my pups at home for a week long vacation. I haven’t had great luck in the past with dog sitters but I WILL be reaching out to her in the future. Best dog/house sitter! Thanks, Allison!!

Allison was amazing! She was able to sit both my high energy dogs on short notice after another sitter had to cancel. She truly went above and beyond to make my dogs feel comfortable. We received multiple photos and updates throughout the stay. Her boyfriend even helped and provided extra attention. My dogs were very well cared for and excited to return to Allison’s after their first day. Each evening we picked up our dogs, it was clear that they had fun and were tired from the day. She really is a gem if you’re in the York area. We would definitely use her again in the future!
