Del Ray Getaway

Pet care experience

My name is Allison. I'm a single mom of a 14-year old girl. We have a great place for your dog's vacation; a small fenced in back yard and a quiet neighborhood to explore. When my daughter is home, she will be active in caring for your dog. She gives them lots of love and likes trying to teach them tricks. She loves to walk the little ones, but I do not allow her to walk larger dogs for safety reasons, of course. If your dog requires medication, I am very comfortable administering it. I've done it all; pills, powders, injections... I'm happy to have any size dog and would consider 2 dogs from same family. If your dog tends to get into things when left alone, they must have a crate. Please bring your dog's bed and/or blanket and special toys so they're comfortable while you're away. I have extra bowls, if in the hectic race to get out of town, you forget to pack them. :) I am a volunteer foster for a Doberman rescue. If I disappear or my calendar is blocked for long periods of time, it's because I have taken in a rescue dog and am helping it find it's forever home, but I'll be available again when that dog has left.

Allison has been a great sitter for Harley when we travel! We really appreciate her services for our girl!

Allison took great care of our boy while we were out of town overnight. We especially appreciated her patience when he was anxious because of high winds during his walk.

Information Allison T. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if they pull the leash while walking. If they have things that get them hyper or they dislike, like squirrels or other dogs. Do they have a tendency to get into trouble when left alone; chewing, tearing things up (separation anxiety)?

A typical day

We try to get in two walks per day; morning and evening, weather dependent. We have a toy basket with a variety of toys and bones dogs can play with. We have a couple puzzle toys to keep them mentally stimulated. And my daughter likes to play little games with them.
