Dear Friends, Clients, and Fellow San Francisco Dog Lovers,

We are reaching out to share some difficult news about someone who has brought so much laughter, love, and wagging tails into our lives—Alison Tarnoff. If you know Alison, you know she’s not just a dog walker; she’s family. She’s the one who greets our dogs like they’re her own, always has a funny story to share, and somehow manages to get even the most stubborn pup to listen (most of the time).

Recently, Alison received heartbreaking news—she has stage four lung cancer. True to form, she’s facing this challenge with unwavering positivity, incredible strength, and that unshakable humor we all love. But as she focuses on her health, she’ll have to step back from work, and that’s where our community comes in.

How You Can Help

We are coming together to help ease the financial burden on Alison during this difficult time. Your donations will go directly toward:

    •    Medical costs (treatment, medications, and care)

    •    Living expenses (rent, bills, and daily necessities)

    •    Travel expenses for treatment

 

Let’s Show Up for Alison Like She’s Always Shown Up for Us

If you can contribute, whether through a donation, walking her personal dogs, grocery delivery, or simply checking in, it would mean the world. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this page, sending love, and reminding Alison how cherished she is are just as valuable. Some donors prefer GoFundMe, while others like Spotfund. Spotfund donate for Alison No matter where you give, every dollar supports Alison’s fight.

Alison has always been the heart of our dog-loving community—making us laugh, keeping our dogs safe, and brightening our days. Now it’s our turn to support her in this fight. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of Alison’s journey.

With love and appreciation,

Nicole, Lisa, Jeanette, Kelley and Her Friends Who Love Her
