My heart is full with furry friends

Pet care experience

I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats for the past 15 years. I foster dogs and cats through the Richmond SPCA. I have volunteered at many shelters in my area doing dog walking, cleaning cages and interacting with potential adoption families. I have a huge heart for furry friends and they become my Besties really fast. I keep a neat and clean home that has pet friendly areas. I have a huge back yard with a 8ft privacy fence. I have done some training on leash walking as well as behavioral situations.

Allison goes above and beyond with every visit. It’s a great comfort knowing my little guy Romeo has someone to look after him while we’re gone. Romeo loves his time with Allison and I love all the amazing pictures she sends with her detailed reports for each visit!

Information Allison S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any allergies or food requests - of course medication that needs to be given. I like to understand their behavior on the leash. I also need to know if they need longer or short walks dependent on the dog’s ability!

A typical day

I have special walking loops in certain neighborhoods that I love! I grew up in this area so I’m super familiar with where to walk that is safe.
