Safety, trust & environment

I am a deep lover of animals. I have loved animals all my life, and I decided to pursue this love by doing all kinds of volunteer work. I have worked at the ARL as a volunteer for 3 years. I am going into college for animal ecology, and eventually going into vet school to study proper care for animals. I do whatever I can to make my dogs, cats, and other pets at my house feel as loved as possible as well as safe. I hope to make your pet feel the same way.

Information Allyson N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if the dog has a special need or behavior that I should know about. Warn me of behavioral issues. I am willing to watch any animal no matter the behavior.

A typical day

I think walks are always stimulating and exciting for dogs. I will take the dog/dogs on a walk if they are able to. If the pet has a toy or multiple toys I will play with them using those toys as they find joy from those toys. I will find ways to excite the pet and make them feel comfortable around me

We were so lucky to have Allyson care for our 6 fur babies when I had to have surgery. She came for a meet and greet in advance which made a world of difference in their demeanors when she came back to care for them without my husband and I there. They took to her right away. She was so attentive to their individual needs and went above and beyond every visit. We especially enjoyed hearing about her snuggling them. It was so nice to not have worry about their care while going through this major life event. She was amazing at communicating with us as well. Her rover cards were detailed with images of all of our kiddos which we loved seeing while away from them. I 100% recommend Allyson as your sitter. She’s kind, attentive, communicative, respectful, extremely knowledgeable, and you can tell she truly loves what she does and treats your pets like she would her own.
