Love small dogs!
Pet care experience
I've had small-medium dogs all my life and I can't imagine living without one (or two). I have raised two yorkies (Calvin and Tucker) and three Mexican rescues -- Sr. Taco el Valiente (a chihuahua-xoloitzcuintli mix), Tequila (aka Tiki, a jack russell terrier mix) and my current sidekick, Panchito, a chihuahua mix whom I rescued from the streets of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 2011. I was a key volunteer with two rescue groups in Mexico, where I lived for the past 12 years. I also helped organize and run a bi-annual community spay and neuter clinic where we attended to 300+ dogs and cats during each 4-day clinic. I am reliable, responsible and honest, and I will care for your pet like he/she is one of my own.
Reviews
I would recommend Allyson as a dog caregiver to any of my friends, knowing that she would always go the extra mile for them no matter what. She has been a volunteer with the animal rescue group in my area for many years and can always be counted on to help in all ways, be it organizational ( at which she excels) or caring for the animals themselves. I would happily leave my precious Bassett hound in her care, knowing I would have no worries whatsoever. Allyson is a friend to all animals.
There are less than 3 people on this planet who I would trust with my 5 spoiled and over indulged companions.... Allyson is one of those people....Thank God !!!!! otherwise I would not be able to travel or conduct certain business for my studio. As I am sure is true for most animal lovers, who you leave the care of you four legged friends can way heavy on your mind. If you have the slightest doubts about the level of care your animals will receive in the hands of another you stress....So an otherwise enjoyable trip can be overshadowed by the overwhelming feeling you need to get home... In the 7 years I have had the pleasure of knowing Allyson I can honestly say she is not only responsible and trust worthy....She is also extremely energetic, affectionate and caring...I wish you all the best on your new venture. I feel happy for the dogs who have not had the pleasure of meeting you yet... Cheers Jane
I am the director of Sayulitanimals, an animal welfare organization in Mexico. Allyson is a dear friend of mine and fellow dog love and rescuer. If there is a person taking the best care of dogs it would be Allyson. I highly recommend her as a dog walker/care giver and trust her with my "dog" life!

Do they get along with other dogs? Does anything make them nervous (noises, thunder, seeing a cat or squirrel, etc.)?

Depending on the amount/length of activity your dog needs, we can walk in your neighborhood or nearby dog park, or head for a longer walk along the Greenway with my Panchito in tow.
