All the walks, all the cuddles

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Allison and I have 15+ years petsitting experience. I retired for in-home, overnight petsitting in early 2023 so I could finally adopt my own dog! Now that she's settled, and I see how much she loves other dogs, I'm opening up our little home to other dogs. I'm also open to drop-in appointments as my full-time, professional job allows. Through my petsitting career, I've watched dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I've administered many a medication and played lots of "hide the meds in the food" games. I've also watched birds, fish, rabbits, and even a pig! My dog is 12 lbs, and my apartment isn't very big, so we'll only be able to board dogs around 25 lbs or less. I'm happy to to drop ins with your biggest fluffy fur friends!

Allison was great! She house sat for us and our aging yet energetic pup for a week. Our dog got lots of exercise and Allison didn't blink an eye when we asked her to give the dog her pill each night. Allison was professional and communicative and sent us updates each day. She left our house clean. I would definitely recommend!

Allison spent a long weekend at our house with our 2 dogs and we couldn't be happier with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter. Unfortunately, one of our dogs got sick while we were gone but Allison handled it like a champ. Other than that, she took them on lots of walks and kept us updated with tons of photos. We will definitely be booking with Allison again!

Allison is wonderful. Sweet, communicative, and my dog loved her the moment she met him. We are so thrilled to have found someone like Allison who we trust with our fur baby and our home.

As the owner of 3 very large German Shepherds, and a Pitbull/Lab mix, I've used many pet sitters over the years. None have even come close to being able to hold a candle to Allison. My pack of four boys immediately took to her, and I noticed that she took notes and asked me questions about specific idiosyncrasies when I was initially interviewing her at my house. I had suggested that we feed the boys while she was there so that both she and I would feel comfortable with the process. Allison flawlessly executed our pack's feeding procedure on her first attempt, putting each dog onto place in the correct order before putting their food down in front of them, and then releasing them one at a time. Normally when I leave town and have a pet sitter take care of my pack, I notice a bit of anxiety on the part of "children" when I return home. To my surprise, when I returned home after Allison was taking care of my pack, I noticed absolutely no anxiety or neediness with any of my dogs. They hadn't picked up any bad habits like begging, nor did they seem starved for affection, exercise, or attention. I cannot recommend Allison highly enough; if you have the opportunity to utilize her services as a pet sitter, neither you or your pets will regret it. I find Allison's diligent and attentive care to be quite comforting, as I know my pets will receive exactly the same level of care I would give them myself.
