I am generally available in the afternoons after 3pm on most weekdays, pending work tempo. If our dogs get along, would love to bring my pup along for a walk as well. Weekends I am generally open unless something is already planned!

Safety, trust & environment

I unfortunately don’t have the space to accommodate more than my own dog at my home. However, drop-in visits and walks will always be tailored to your dogs needs.

Information Allyson G. would like to know about your pet

I am glad to administer any medications if your dog needs them, or help with any other special needs. Any particular quirks or common reactions your dog may have in certain situations would be greatly appreciated! I.e. if reactive towards other dogs on leash, doesn’t like loud cars, etc. I have experience with reactive dogs and am willing to accommodate their needs!

A typical day

I think “sniffaris” are great for stimulating dogs on walks. Your pup will spend a lot of time, sniffing, doing structured (but fun) leash manners and intermittent training, fetch if space allows; and as always — cuddles!

Enriching & High Reward Care

Pet care experience

I currently am going to school for Ecology and Conservation Biology with an emphasis on animal behavior. I have 10+ years of pet care experience and specifically, with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I have a 6 year old Rottweiler and two cats currently, but also grew up with cats, a Dachshund, and other breeds of dogs. I raised and trained my dog from a puppy and I would work on skills with younger dogs or any dogs in need of training reinforcement at the owners request!

Allyson was fantastic! I appreciate her greatly for accommodating such a last minute request on a holiday weekend. She was extremely communicative and helpful throughout. Guillermo also enjoyed the play time & company. Thank you Allyson!

Ally helped care for my animals while I was out of town. She did a wonderful job and paid extra attention to the needs of my cat. She also has her own dog that she takes everywhere and treats like a prince, and provides the same treatment for any other animals. She has a great attention to detail and positive energy when it comes to animals.

Ally is the best pet sitter, always on time and communicative. My cats absolutely love her, she is their favorite person to see when I am away. She has a way with animals that puts them at ease. My cats can sometimes be skittish when I’m not home but they’ve never been afraid of Ally and I think that’s says a lot. 10/10 recommend her for pet sitting any animals.
