“I have known Allegra for years and had the pleasure of volunteering at the Seattle Animal Shelter with her. She is so kind and compassionate with even the most challenging shelter dogs. As a trainer I moved over to working with the ‘behavior team’ dogs, and Allegra would often foster these same dogs! She gained many skills working with a variety of these dogs who really needed people to understand how to help them get their needs met so they could be their best selves. You could not find someone more gentle and capable to care for your dog.”

“I’m a paranoid dog mom with two not-so-straightforward pups and high standards for who I trust to take care of them. One of my pups has epilepsy, the other has serious attitude, and together they are VERY EXCITED about squirrels. Allegra took care of them while I was on vacation for a week, and it was a tremendous relief to have them in such capable hands. She took the time to do two meet ups ahead of time so they could acclimate to the space and to her, and her comprehensive questionnaire let me know she was serious about gathering all the necessary information to really care for them. I got regular updates and pictures while we were gone, including a list of the creative troubleshooting she did to safely exercise a combined 110lbs of dog. I’ve known Allegra for years as a conscientious dog foster mom, and was grateful that she put all of that experience to work to take amazing care of my own mutts.”

“Allegra has taken care of Ms. Winnie for days and weeks at a time. I always know she is in great care and appreciate how she keeps up with her training while I am away. I recommend Allegra without reservation.”

“Shortly after bringing home our pandemic pup, we started searching for someone to watch her. Our trainer recommended Allegra, and she has been great! Not only does Allegra take good care of our dog, but she also gives us tips for training and is happy to answer other pup-related questions. We highly recommend Allegra!”

“Allegra has been amazing! We took an international trip and boarded our pet with her. During the stay, she sent us regular updates with lots of pictures so we felt reassured. We could tell our pup was in experienced hands and was well taken care of. Highly recommend her! Will definitely be using her again.”
