Your dog has 2 new furfriends here!
Pet care experience
I have two dogs of my own. One very active female puppy Cattle Dog, and I co-parent a 9 year old female Australian Cattle Dog mix with my partner Andrew (pictured in some of the photos with pups we have dog sat for). Our dogs get along great with all ages and breeds of dogs. We are always around to supervise, and make sure that before your dog comes over to our house that all the dogs go on a walk and get familiar in a neutral space first. We have had great success with dogs of all different socialization experience, from super social playful, to more shy and submissive. All types of doggy-personalities have gotten along great with our pups. Our dogs, Laia and Juniper, are easy going and not very territorial. Laia loves to nap, and Juniper loves to play--so between the both of them there is a place for your pup in our dog-pack too! I have repeat clients with young pups especially who keep coming back and we get to see such sweet friendships between the dogs. They form a pack-like bond and will be playing (and then be tuckered-out napping) in no time! A bit about me, I am a part-time college student at UCSC in Community Studies, and currently on a summer internship till December, where I am at home working with flexible schedule. On my off times/study breaks you can find the three of us (myself, Juniper, and Laia—sometimes Andrew!) at the beach, playing at the park, playing tug-of-war at home, or exploring the forests of the Santa Cruz area! We'd love for your fur-baby to join us!
Reviews
Ally was amazing with my pup — I have a super energetic 1 year old husky who is a lot to handle. Ally’s dog, Juniper, got along with her so well and was able to play with her all day. Ally took them to the park and kept me updated throughout the day. I will absolutely be contacting Ally again when I need someone to watch Pepper.
Allyson was great with my hyper 1yr old spaniel! She has a nice sized yard for the pups to run around and took them on outings to the dog park (with my permission). Was even willing to meet me beforehand to make sure our dogs got along. She sends lots of updates and pictures so you always know how how your pup is doing. Bluebelle came home tired and happy, would definitely recommend and will be using her services again in the future!
I've hired Ally's services and I can say she is great and loving with dogs, has been great with my 5 months old puppy and my pup always comes home happy and exhausted out of playing with Ally's dog and visiting the dog park. She is able to accommodate last minute visits most of the time which has been very convenient for me in the past. 5 stars for Ally!!!!
Ally was a perfect match my pup Luca. I highly recommend her!! I can be kind of a helicopter-dog-parent, but she gave me picture updates during the Drop-in visit, and Luca is happy every time to see her. Luca also got along great with her dogs Laia and Juniper when we left town for a few days and Luca stayed at her house. She has a great space for your doggy to stay! And did a great job at teaching my dog Luca some commands—so he came back a more well trained dog!

Information Allyson A. would like to know about your pet
I know a lot about different breeds and their personalities, but anything specific to your little love. Anything that would help me insure that they feel safe and at home while you are away would be great! Especially when it comes to going to being social at dog parks, and meeting people and other dogs.
A typical day
I live in a nice quiet neighborhood. With a dog-proof fenced in yard. Near by to parks and beaches galore! I have lots of free time, which I spend going on hikes and walks around Santa Cruz with my own dogs, so we'd love more company!
