Dog loving grad student!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of a variety of dogs for nearly 14 years. I got my first dog at 10 years old and have been helping care for him ever since. My little 16 year old dachshund mix is fun loving, full of energy, and an obsessive licker. Now that I am away at grad school and missing him I need some new furry friends to hang out with! Aside from my dog I have experience watching friend's and neighbor's dogs. I've cared for their dogs by coming over to feed, walk, and play with them. Additionally, there are times where I have spent the night to provide full care for the dogs in whatever way necessary. I will always care for your dogs as though they are my own!

Ally was amazing! She stayed with our dog over the weekend and went above and beyond! My dog is not the easiest to take care of because of her anxiety and a medical issue, but Ally did great! Our pup loved her, and we felt peace of mind knowing our baby was safe and well taken care of. 10/10 would book again! Thanks Ally!!

Ally watched my cat and my dog while i was away for 4 days and i didnt worry once about them when i was gone! She took care of my house and my babies and I am so appreciative of her. Look no further if you want someone dependable and so sweet to take care of your fur babies. Thank you!!!!!!

Ally took great care of our family dog- Frannie. They bonded instantly! Ally sent me several updates with pictures. It was comforting to know she was in good hands.

Ally has watched our dog many times. She is so loving and attentive. She takes our dog on all kinds of adventures even if he needs to carried. I know our dog has more fun with Ally, when she is in the home! She sends pictures and keeps us updated while we’re away. I would trust Ally with my dog anytime and would recommend her to anyone who needs a trusted, reliable dog sitter. We love Ally!

Information Ally M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your pet likes and dislikes, any habits, general demeanor, age, size, and favorite activities such as walks, fetch, tug of war, or anything else! Let me know if there are any medications, food serving information, specific walk schedules, or behaviors you would like for me to be aware of as well.

A typical day

I love going for walks, and having a furry friend by my side only makes it better! If your dog has any favorite activities or favorite toys they like to play with I am more than able to incorporate that into our time together.

Availability

Currently I am a full time graduate student doing this for fun and some extra money. My availability is mostly weekends. I have lots of studying to do, so I would love to hang out with your pets and give them extra attention throughout the day! All bookings with me include one meet and greet by request. If it is preferred that I stop by multiple times before the actual visit it will be charged as a drop in visit. For house sitting bookings I am available to arrive at your home at your convenience. Please feel free to discuss with me arrival and leaving times. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out. I am very flexible!
