Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Second Best Friend
I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets since I was young. I have experience with small and medium indoor dogs as well as large outdoor dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. This has included watching dogs in their homes during vacations for periods of over a week, as well as providing daytime care while owners worked long hours. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playtime, administering routine care, maintaining schedules, providing companionship, and ensuring pets felt safe and comfortable while their owners were away. I understand the importance of following owner instructions closely, communicating regularly, and treating every pet as if they were my own What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, comfort, and care I would want for my own. I’m also very active and love going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and interaction they need to stay happy and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply making them feel safe and loved while you’re away, I always prioritize their well-being and happiness. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly passionate about caring for animals.

Allyson watched my puppy and cared him like her own. Thank you Allyson! Highly recommend
Allyson was great at communicating with me her time of arrival, how my Sylvie was doing, and any questions she may of had!
We left Happy for 6 days and he came back healthier, happier, and even more well-behaved than before. It’s clear he was given so much love and attention. Highly recommend! 🙌 Thank you so much Allyson!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I currently have open availability Monday through Friday during both the day and evenings for pet care, and I’m also available on weekends if needed. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, which allows me to dedicate my full attention, care, and time to your fur babies. Because I have the flexibility to be present and attentive, I’m able to provide pets with consistent care, companionship, walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day instead of rushing in and out. I genuinely love being active, going on walks, and spending quality time with animals, so making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for is something I truly enjoy.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I currently stay in a clean, organized apartment with no pets, creating a calm and safe environment. The space is kept very tidy with minimal clutter, so there’s little for pets to get into. While boarding may be possible depending on the pet and situation, I would generally prefer caring for pets in their own home where they feel the most comfortable, secure, and familiar with their surroundings and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize respect, communication, trust, and consistency. I always want expectations, routines, rules, feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any special care details to be clearly communicated from the beginning so I can provide the best care possible. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own by keeping things clean, organized, and secure while making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I also provide dependable communication and updates so owners can feel comfortable and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners.
A typical day
I tailor each day to the pet’s age, energy level, and routine. Activities may include walks, playtime, fetch, enrichment games, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and plenty of attention and affection. For more active pets, I enjoy longer walks and outdoor time, while senior pets may prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, mentally stimulated, and well cared for while their owners are away.

- Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. Please let me know if your pet has special needs, experiences anxiety, is reactive toward people or other animals, or has any training commands that you regularly use. The more information you provide, the better I can ensure a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for your pet
