Playful, loving, cuddly petsitter!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Allison W, I have graduated from CU Boulder and recently moved home. It would be a joy for me to meet and take care of your precious pooches! I have been a dog lover my whole life, and was entrusted with taking care of my neighbors dogs at around the age of 13. This was also when we adopted our family dog, Milo; a shitzu, cockapoo mix. I also have my own personal dog, Misty; an Australian Cattle Dog. Playing and caring for dogs is a passion of mine, and I love meeting new dogs, because, like humans, each dog is different. I like to present a calm, and controlled attitude when dealing with dogs, but also provide a lot of positive reinforcement, play, and praise. I believe the experience I have with dogs from my teenage years and with my own dog, and my friends dog makes me a reliable, energetic, and calm dog sitter or walker for you and your family!

Allison is a great walker and is always super responsive. I will definitely be asking her to walk my dog again in the future!

Allison W. is one of the kindest people on this planet and she will love your animal with all her heart. She has such a special connection with dogs I have never seen anything like it! I had an older very aggressive dog I inherited from my grandfather who I could never find a dog walker for because of his inherently scary nature. When we met Allison it was like the heavens moved the stars to align so perfectly, our dog did not lunge or bark at her which was his constant. I have never seen someone who is so in touch behaviorally with dogs, that she helped us calm him and helped him with so much positive reinforcement on walks that he was no longer such a terror when we would walk him (lunging at dogs, people, bikes, trucks, etc). Unfortunately he had a serious medical condition that required him to be taken peacefully from us. Allison was so special to us that as soon as we adopted a little shibauahuaha girl she was our go to again. I am so grateful we have her in our lives to help with our baby, if you love your pets as much as we do, you'll choose someone who will put the time, effort, and energy needed to make them and you happy, like Allison W. will.

Allison is an accomplished caretaker, she familiarized herself with Rocky's schedule in no time and demonstrates a drive for self education when it comes to learning about a breed and adapting accordingly. She provided for Rocky and established a reliable line of communication where she would update me on the situation to ensure his well being and to put my separation anxiety at ease. If you want a caring and responsible person with strong interpersonal skills, then I highly recommend that you seek Allison's services.

Allison is a wonderful dog sitter. She has cared for our dog (and cat) as well as for several of our neighbors. She is dependable, caring, and thoughtful. She loves dogs and the animals sense her love in the way they respond to her! Allison has cared for dogs that have special needs and has given medication in the past so she is capable to care for dogs with specific needs. Allison has become more involved and knowledgable in dog training as she has adopted her own dog recently and she is conscientious in observing animal behavior. Allison loves walking dogs and being out doors so I am certain she will give your pets love, attention, and fun!

Information Allison W. would like to know about your pet

First, I would like to know their routine so I can stay as on point with that as possible. What are the dogs favorite treats, toys, and activities. Also, I would want to know if there are any types of behavioral issues (I am totally comfortable sitting for a dog with behavioral issues as long as I am aware of them and the triggers.) I adore all breeds; teacup and giant

A typical day

I love going on walks in neighborhood, trails, and spending time at the dog park. We will play fetch, chase, tug-of-war, and any other types of games your dog thinks are fun. As long as you, as the owner, are comfortable with it I would love to take your pup on a longer hike or even get him/her together with my dog to play.
