I’ll treat your pet like my own.

Pet care experience

I love dogs! I got my first dog (a walker hound named Patches) at the age of 17 and discovered a new and amazing love. I have often been told I have a special way with dogs and haven’t met one I didn’t get along with yet. My services include walking, feeding, bathing, giving medication, and overnights. I have been taking care of pets for family and friends for more than 15 years. I have experience with young animals on up to elderly animals. I love all breeds and sizes. I currently have 2 dogs: Sam (Samantha) - 6 year old shih tzu and Izzy (Isabella) - 14 year old shih tzu. Hope to hear from you soon.

Allyson was so wonderful! We had a last minute request for her to come a day earlier than planned and she was flexible to accommodate this request. We have an elderly/senior dog with many needs and a cat and she helped care for them both while on a family vacation out of the country. She sent regular photos with updates on how they were doing and helped care for our senior dog who has many needs like daily medicine, frequent bathroom breaks (even in the middle of the night). We came home after a week away and it was almost like no one had been here how tidy the house was after her departure. She sent a list after leaving of everything she did before departure which was so helpful and appreciated. Allyson was great, definitely recommend her!!

This was the first time we used Allyson for our chocolate lab, Toby. From the start, she was very communicative and came over twice to our house before our vacation to meet Toby. She stayed at our house for 10 days and we came back to a very happy and well taken care of dog! Throughout the vacation, she regularly updated us and sent photos. We felt very comfortable with her in our home and we will definitely use her again. If you are looking for dog sitter/house sitter, Allyson is responsible and reliable!

Allyson was attentive to our family's needs and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were relaxed and happy with her. It was a pleasure having her house sit for us.

Information Allyson B. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know if a pet has medical issues and what they are. It is also important to know if they need medication and how to administer. Also, it is important to know if a dog has had any issues with aggression.
