Hi, I'm your pets new Best Friend!
Pet care experience
Follow my Instagram @EyesOfTheWolf_ to follow my adventures! I've surrounded myself with animals ever since I was a kid. I grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, turtles, rabbits, fishes and more. There's no animal I wouldn't love! I also spent a lot of time growing up taking care of my family and friend's pets while they were away. I started my professional career at a dog daycare back in May 2015 and since then I've worked at other dog daycares, boarding facilities, animal shelters and as a vet assistant at animal hospitals. In January 2018, I set off to start my own pet care services and haven't looked back since. I love to be able to spend my days with animals and have fun with them. I have tons of experience with all kinds of pets of all sizes and temperaments and my resume has equipped me with all kinds of knowledge from exercise to nutrition to medical to training. So if you're ready for your pets to have a great and safe time while you are away, come send me a request/message and I'll be happy to help!
Reviews
I cant even begin to say how much we love Ally. Our pups simply adore her, and we feel so blessed that she is in our lives. It's not easy to find a sitter who likes big dogs, let alone one who is even willing to take care of them overnight. Not only does she take excellent care of them and show them tons of affection, they get the best walks of their lives, and they have really fun adventures with her. And on top of everything else, she is an excellent photographer, and her pictures of our dogs are so good I use them for my computer wallpapers and screen savers. We can't think of anyone better than Ally.
Ally’s worked with my Dobermans for almost five years. She is caring, dedicated, and trustworthy. She’s walked them, spent nights in my home with them (once for 3 weeks) and has taken them to the dog park, a lot. She refreshes them on their verbal commands and gets them tons of exercise. She’s also watched my Guinea hens, and they bonded with her as well.
My dogs love Ally! I have one that is especially high maintenance and she does everything to accommodate him and ensure he has a fun safe walk. Highly recommended.
I've been working with Ally for over 4 years and my dog Mila has never been happier. She's known to have bad seperation anxiety from my husband and I but when we left our dog with her for the weekend, Ally sent us videos and pictures showing that Mila was living her best life! Almost like she didn't care that we were away. It's such a relief knowing that we can enjoy our time away and not have to worry about Mila being sad or stressed. I definitely recommend Ally for all your pet care needs, and we will gladly continue to hire her for many more trips to come.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my priority when watching peoples beloved pets. I always recommend that I meet pets with their owners so the pets become familiar with me and we can all be comfortable with each other. I always ask for all information possible, routines, exercise schedules, eating schedules, emergency contacts, local 24 hour hospitals etc. I take care of peoples homes just as I would my own and follow all rules set in place for myself and the animals to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible and it's almost as if the owners never left!
Information Allyson L. would like to know about your pet
Their routine: what time they normally wake up, eat meals, go out for walks/exercise and bedtime rituals. Medical: do they have any medications I'll need to administer, any allergies, any concerns in terms of their body, what they can and can't do. Behavior: do they get along with other animals, how do they act on walks, how do they act being handled, do they have any aggressions or things they dislike. Any and every piece of information you can provide, let me know!
A typical day
I LOVE to take long walks, so if that is something your pets need, rest assured we will be getting our exercise in. But if we're staying home bound, rolling around in the yard, enjoying the sun, playing fetch or tug of war is fun for me too. Sometimes clients need some help with obedience, so for overnight stays, I try my best to assess and work on these concerns and this acts as mental stimulation for your pets. I just love being outdoors and being active with your pets. So anything is game as long as the pet and clients are up for it.
