Allissa is outstanding with animals, and there's no one I'd rather have care for my pets. She has an animal science background with experience in a veterinary clinic, so she is very familiar with the needs of dogs. She cared for my grandmothers dog, Buster, and when my grandmother was listing some issues he was having (itchiness, restlesness, nails too long), she proceeded to clip his nails and express his anal glands for us. Apparently that needed to be done for some time and was the cause of his discomfort. Sorry for the graphic detail, but her knowledgable, kind, and generous nature toward animals and people is worth the mention. I give my highest recommendation to Allissa for anyone who wants exceptional care for their pet while they're away!
