Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Lover You Can Trust
Animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities - from playful kittens and energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. In addition to having my own wonderful pack at home, I’ve fostered animals for the Humane Society and volunteered with local rescues. Those experiences have taught me that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and what help them feel safe and happy! I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats and understand the gentle care, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, medication or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, Ill care for them as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand having a stranger in your home can be stressful. I think a meet and greet before had is a great idea to put you and your animals at ease. I am very respectful of your space and home.
Ratings and reviews
Allyson is fantastic! She is truly the cat whisperer. She spent so much time loving on my needy kitty cat while I was out of town, and really went above and beyond with care for him & my house. My cat warmed up to her immediately and almost didn't let her leave! :) I am forever grateful and will be using Allyson in the future.
Allyson was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. Layla was well cared for and happy.
Ally is sweet kind and loved my pug!! She is neat and the house looked like it did when I left. I will use her services again!
We booked Allyson last minute when our previous sitter cancelled last minute. She came and met our dogs the day before our trip and they instantly loved her! She did an excellent job of walking them and then feeding them afterwards. She sent a photo of them after each walk and they both looked so happy. They clearly loved Allyson and they looked forward to their daily walks. We will definitely book Allyson again. 💕😊
Ally has been caring for my Mini Aussie who has special needs with such patience and love. He was attacked as a puppy and now has trust issues with other dogs and people. When you meet her you just can tell that she actually cares! She took her time with him and now they are best friends. In the past she had taken care of my aging cat during the end of her life with care and comfort to both of us. Shes the best!
Allyson is amazing! She has watched my dog, Wagyu, on a number of occasions over the past couple of years and he absolutely loves staying with her and her family. I never worry about him because she and her family take better care of him than I do! He simply loves being at her house – I mean, what’s not to like when she has two super fun boys to entertain him, as well as well-behaved and friendly fur buddies to play with. Allyson is great at communicating in regard to Wagyu’s visit – whether the initial coordination of his visit, confirming details ahead of time, as well as providing updates of my boy while he is there. It is so nice to get pictures from her to see how much fun he is having and to know he is being loved. She is reliable – never had issues with cancellations or unexpected changes – you can depend on her to be there for you and to give your pup the best care and love. She just knows dogs really well – how to read them, how to draw them out when they are in a new situation, how to calm them down when they feel stressed, etc. Wagyu is a bit of a spaz when he first arrives at her house, and she knows exactly how to calm him down and what he needs to adjust to the environment. Wagyu is like a member of the family when he is there, and I feel bad picking him up sometimes because I can tell he has had a great time. He really needs a sibling but I don’t have the time for two right pups right now so he has to settle for my husband and I. Her home is dog-friendly and the fenced backyard is big enough to give the dogs plenty of exercise with room to run and play. It is very apparent when you are around Allyson and the family that they just love animals. I know Allyson grew up with a variety of animals – cats, dog, rabbits, etc – and has rarely been without an animal. She just has a heart for fur animals and she is passing her love on to her boys. I feel so blessed to have her watch my pup.

- I would love to learn all about your pets! Knowing their personalities, favorite activities, routines, and any special needs helps me give them the best care possible. I also like to know about any medications, allergies, fears (thunderstorms, fireworks, trash trucks) leash manners and how they interact with other animals.
