“Shawna came to drop-in on my two cats for 7 days and was so reliable and easy to communicate. She took time to play with my scaredy cat. She kept up on all the food and litter and was an absolute pleasure to work with!”

“Hannah cared our kitty Edison for 21 days while we were on vacation. Hannah is such a natural with cats and Edison got comfortable with her from day one. The regular photos and videos with Edison she shared with us made our vacation more fun and less worried. We will definitely ask for her help again next time.”

“Doug is amazing. We had just lost one of our cats and was worried about the transition of our other cat. Doug was so patient and kind and gave her lots of attention to help ease the transition while we couldn't be there. He was very communicative and let us know what was going on. I felt our cat was in the greatest of hands.”

About: I have always loved animals and love giving them tons of love and cuddles! I grew up with two kitties most of my life and now I have a little guy of my own, Jax (3 years old)! From walks to cuddles, I prioritize their happiness and safety. Whether it's a playful pup or a shy cat, I tailor my approach to each pet to build their trust and ensure they are well taken care of while you are away! I am a recent PA school graduate and I am free most days in the afternoon and all day on the weekends! I would love to accomodate your schedule and find whatever is the right time for you and your pet! It is important to me to make your pet as comfortable as possible and show them that I am their friend. I prefer to let them come to me and sniff me to get to know me before I initiate any interactions. I am gentle and approach my interactions with any animal in a calm manner. I work with my clients to understand their animals and their needs so I can create the best environment for them while my client is away! I will provide photos and notes so my clients feel connected to their little ones while they are gone!

About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶

“Ally is exactly what I hoped for in a Rover. After a not-so-great experience with another Rover, I really wanted to find someone who was considerate and responsible. Thankfully, Ally turned out to be the perfect person. Not only was she communicative and actually spent quality time with my cat, she even was kind enough to clean up water spills after my cat knocked down his water bowl twice, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Ally to any pet owner, and I hope to book her again!”

Michelle eased my mind while we were away on our first trip since one of my cats got her diagnosis that requires daily oral meds to be given. She was punctual and communicative during the visits and my cats loved her. Can’t thank you enough!
