Will spoil your dog like I do mine!

Pet care experience

I am a high school teacher looking to pamper some pups! I am home from work by about 4 pm each day, leaving lots of time to play with and cuddle your fur baby. I have had my dog George Washington for 4 years and he is the furry little love of my life. I love taking him on walks and to the dog park, and meeting other little friends along the way. I am available for boarding on most weekends as well as during the week. I have experience not only enjoying my time with pups, but am patient with training techniques as well if your dog is still being trained. When I got my dog from the shelter, he needed a refresher on crate training, leash-training, and general command following. I studied up and spent months working with him to get him back on track, and would be happy to work on these same skills with your pups if needed. I am by no means a dog trainer - just a very patient person who loves to teach. I have experience with dietary restrictions and administering medication as well. I have a fenced in back patio, and often set out mats, doggy beds, and toys so that dogs can play, lay, or wander as they please. I'm looking forward to meeting your fur baby!

Allison watched our little guy while we were on vacation. Her updates were timely and very helpful for putting us at ease. Our dog seemed like he wanted to stay longer! Would totally book her again!

This was Pepper’s second time with Alison and she loved it! She hasn’t seen Alison in more than a year, but she definitely remembered her well as she ran up and hugged her. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Alison. She kept me updated and sent multiple pics. Also, when I needed to modify my plans, she was super accommodating!

Pepper had a great stay with Allison! Allison treated Pepper just like she was her own dog by giving her lots of attention and even a doggie treat from the dog bakery. She also sent me lots of pictures so I could see how Pepper was enjoying her stay. I highly recommend Allison!
