As a full-time sitter, I am able to dedicate all my time to your beloved pets! I have no other responsibilities so there is nothing more important to me than the animals in my care. When I'm not busy with visits I'm home making homemade healthy treats and other enrichment activities for my future clients!

Safety, trust & environment

I do my darndest to follow your instructions to a T, but I will not hesitate to go above and beyond to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as possible in your absence. I love to talk and interact with pets just like I would with children, and even if they can't understand me like children I find that they appreciate the communication just as much. The process of building trust with animals is my absolute favorite part of the job. ❤️

Information Ally S. would like to know about your pet

Every pet has their specific needs and preferences so please don't hesitate to let me know about any of your pets special quirks! I feel that I am very good at intuiting their wants but there is nothing more informative than their parents' input.

A typical day

I always start my visits by introducing myself to your pet and observing their behavior. Depending on their energy and signals we might share some treats, play together, or relax and cuddle. I always do lots of talking in a positive tone of voice! Before I leave I'll feed, water, and sit for a while, especially if they don't like eating alone. I always make sure my energy is calm and relaxed before heading out.

Pet care experience

From dogs and cats to horses and rats, I've cared for animals of all types nearly all my life! I've personally had birds, rodents, and reptiles as well. I have experience with all ages of dogs, as a child I assisted the birth of my puppy girl Abby and cared for her for 15 years before she passed in 2022. I was an avid horseman for 13 years as well and won Grand Champion awards for my horsemanship skills. Recently I've received a certification in dog training as well. I truly have infinite love and care for all living things but I hold a special place in my heart for senior animals. I'm based in the center of Mountain Home with access to MHAFB!

Thank you so much! I had to go out of town for an emergency and Ally was able to respond quickly! She gave my cat lots of attention and I really appreciated it

Ally is so wonderful with all four of our dogs! She allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our pups were being well taken care of!

Having Ally watch our 4 dogs was absolutely the best experience we’ve EVER had with leaving our dogs! I’m so impressed with how happy they all seemed with her! After the first visit, I felt like I didn’t have to worry at all! So very thankful for the excellent care she gave and the interaction and love she gave every one of them! She included tons of pictures after every visit and even bonded with our aggressively scared dog who won’t let any stranger near him without sounding like he’s going to bite their hand off! He never bit her and he was able to calm down and relax enough to enjoy cuddles and kisses with her! I’m so impressed and so happy to have found Ally!
