Information Allison S. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know if they are friendly and trained properly. I don’t have any breed preferences because I have had small-large dogs!

A typical day

I love going on long walks, currently I’m training my dog, Rey, to walk long trails. She is up to 3 miles! I also love throwing ball and interacting with them with their toys!

Loving care when you’re not there!

Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by dogs all my life! I understand how to maintain a good routine and care for them. I’m frequent walker with my own dog and understand playing outside is an important part of their life. I know how to administer medicine due to personal experience with my own dogs. I also have patience with puppies because my family has fostered little ones before.

Allison is great! I needed someone to do some drop-ins while I was on a short work trip. Allison came by right on schedule, took care of everything with no problems, and was sure to send me photos and updates. And you can tell she genuinely enjoys getting to spend some time with the animals. I felt like my dog was very well taken care of.
