As a student I have a lot to do in a day, so drop in visits/walks are ideal, but house sitting is a viable option as well!

Safety, trust & environment
How I plan on caring for your pet is primarily determined by client instruction. I will do my best to care for your baby the same way you would! I prefer to use positive reinforcement for training or behavior modification, and I like to keep feeding and medication schedules quite consistent. I also really enjoy sending lots of photo check ins! I feel most comfortable when you and your pets feel most comfortable, and it’s incredibly important to me to establish a relationship built on mutual trust. To me, your home is a workplace environment, and will be treated with the same respect.

Information ally y. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs, medications, medical (or other) concerns, any training preferences, or special feeding and/or care instructions! Additionally, please inform me if your dog is friendly with other dogs, has an aversion to certain kinds of people/ways in which people approach them, or any reactivity/trigger situations!
A typical day
I love going on walks, hikes, and adventures in the park. My priority is to provide your pet enrichment on whatever ways they need. I find it incredibly important that pets get the opportunity to explore the world around them and take it all in! I love playing fetch, catch, tug of war, and any other fun games your pet would like to play! For senior or disabled pets, this enrichment can be lower energy and will like requires less physical exertion.

Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Ally (they/them) and I am an experienced doggy day care employee and groomer-in-training looking for flexible pet care opportunities while finishing up school. In addition to having cared for pets most of my life, I have extensive professional experience caring for, mediating behavior of, feeding, and administering medications to up to 100 or more dogs at a time! I would be more than happy to train your puppy, show your senior pet some love and comfort, or spend some quality with your kitty! While my work experience is primarily with dogs, I love pets of all kinds, and would be so excited to care for any pet, no matter how “unusual” (snakes, lizards, spiders, insects, rodents, birds, etc.) I look forward to getting to know you and your pets!
Reviews
Ally was wonderful and took great care of our dogs!
Ally was fantastic with all of our pets, she sent tons of photos and videos! We felt at ease during our vacation knowing they were all well taken care of!
Truly Exceptional Care! I cannot recommend Ally enough! She took amazing care of my mini dachshund, Ponyo, during his boarding stay. She went above and beyond—bringing him along to social outings with friends and even to her study sessions, which Ponyo absolutely loved and truly appreciated. Not only was Ally amazing, but her roommates also pitched in with his care, giving him extra company, attention, and affection. Ponyo thrives around people, and their home truly felt like a loving and caring environment for any dog. Ally consistently sent updates and photos, and it was obvious how comfortable and happy Ponyo was with her. When I picked him up, he immediately looked back for her—he clearly bonded with her and missed her the moment we left. She handled everything with kindness and professionalism. From his feeding routine to his dachshund-specific needs, she kept him safe, loved, and entertained. I boarded Ponyo with her and would 100% book with Ally again whenever I need help. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, truly look no further—Ally is amazing! 💛🐾
Excellent with my dog
