Me in a Nutshell!
I'm an aged twenty-four compassionate animal lover, who enjoys looking after animals. Over my life so far, I've owned a variety of pets, some of these include; Dogs, Cats, Budgies, Bluetongue Lizards, Bearded dragons, turtles, Fish, Ferrets, and even a small pig. However, I have only three cats at this point in time.
I find that I enjoy being a pet sitter because of my fondness for animals and helping out fellow animal lovers. So they know their precious family member receives the one-on-one attention they deserve when they are away from home.
What's on offer
My house is a small three-bedroom, with floorboards throughout most of the house. My backyard is quite spacious and open. I offer pet sitting - daycare and overnight with cats, dogs, and ferrets. For no additional price, I often take dogs under my care out for walks - with the permission of the owner - whether they are there for daycare or overnight stays.
Due to my more recent employment at Furkids Funhouse, the option for Daycare may not be available, I will still take animals for overnight boarding however as work hours are Monday - Friday, being out of the home for up to an average of seven-eight hours per weekday.
I accept dogs of pretty much any size, however, if they are to be indoors, I would prefer they be okay with cats as mine all live indoors - this may be worked around if absolutely required through separation methods. I also only use force-free/fear-free methods of handling and aim to keep stress as low as possible while you are away.
Multiple Bookings?
I try to avoid overwhelming both myself and my other furred guests by restricting the number of dogs I board at any one time, the most amount of dogs I've had stay at my home at any one time is three dogs from different homes. This was only a short-term overlapping stay and was okayed with both pet parents before accepting additional bookings. The comfort of the pets is paramount.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Doggy day care and Dog walks always have a flexible cancellation policy:

No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Woody had a great time with Allyson. Thank you for looking after him.
Koda seemed to have enjoyed staying with Allyson so much, he was reluctant to come back home. We also got photos of him which really helped. Thank you Allyson.
Certificates of Education I completed my certificate I and II in Animal Studies during my last two years of high school, which gave me some experience within the industry. Plus my love of animals.
In 2019, I then proceeded to complete my Certificate III in Companion Animal Services, which led me into my current employment at Furkids Funhouse which began as an internship in late 2019.
