Caregiver with shelter experience!
Pet care experience
I have had dogs since I was born, and have had multiple dogs in the house for the past 10+ years. I frequently sit for my neighbors, friends, and family. I also worked at a local animal shelter for 3 years, while volunteering for many years, so I'm very comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes! I've taken shelter dogs home for "cage breaks" and love allowing them time to relax and de-stress, while gaining their trust.
Reviews
Awesome job made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Sending pictures of the dog all the neighbors loved her. My dog was very comfortable. Very much appreciated.!!
Ally was a wonderful house and dog sitter during our 10 day trip out of country. She kept in communication with us during our entire trip and sent regular updates and photos on how things were going. Our dogs seemed to enjoy her companionship and the house was tidy when we came home and we would not hesitate to have her watch our pups and home again!
We recently used Ally for a whole week and she took great care of our two dogs! She provided daily updates and pictures throughout the week. We will definitely book her again!
Flip is still asking for Ally & Geneva (I needed 2 sitters to pop in while I was away for a little over a wk-posting this review in both sitters profiles)! I was heading out of town while having my bathroom remodeled and needed some sitters to pop in for a meal, a walk, and some couch time (Flip is happiest on the couch). I should really start this review by saying it was getting down to the wire and I had almost given up on Rover due to being 'ghosted' by some sitters that I had start communication with, and I was getting a little nervous that I would not have flip care. Thankfully, I found these 2 - Ally & Geneva - & they were up to the task, responsive and both committed confidently very quickly. We each did a pre-booking visit to see the space, meet Flip -- and well, once you meet him, how could you say no? Flip got a morning date and an early evening date and I received updates throughout the week, and could settle in and enjoy my time away. They even communicated with each other - and backed each other up when something came up and one needed to swap times w/the other. I knew he was in good hands, and I really can't thank them both enough - and I would reccommend each to care for your pup.

Safety, trust & environment
Happy to accommodate any specific needs for your animals, whether they need crated, need to be supervised at all times, or just prefer their own space. I understand that each pet has unique needs and I'm prepared to handle all of them. I live in a pet-friendly apartment on the first floor with very easy access to grass and walking areas, as well as our complex dog park area.
Information Ally Z. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to hear about your dog’s typical daily routine. What do they enjoy and what are their fears/triggers? I’d also like to know how they get along with other dogs and people, in the event we come across any on our walks. If there are any medications or special needs, please let me know as well!
A typical day
I love using enrichment tools for mental stimulation like smell boxes, hidden treat puzzles and more! I will ensure that your dog gets the proper exercise to wear them out for a great nights sleep. We’ll also happily enjoy some downtime and R&R together, as all dogs need that from time to time!
