Safety, trust & environment

Due to my apartment size, I would be unable to keep a pet in my home. In my client’s home, it is completely dependent on what the client requests. In all cases, however, I will ensure that the pet(s) has plenty of water and food, gets enough mental stimulation and physical exercise, along with plenty of love!

Information Ailise C. would like to know about your pet

If they are reactive to other dogs/people/certain behaviors, any relevant allergies, favorites treats/activities, and if there are any specific things (activities, locations, places to pet on their body, etc.) I should avoid when watching or walking the pet(s).

A typical day

I can do a variety of activities with the pets I watch. I can take them for runs, long walks, play ball, etc. It completely depends on what the owner(s) would prefer!

Pet care experience

I grew up with both a dog and a cat. When I was 18, my parents got a new puppy and I was a primary caretaker of her until I moved out for grad school (I still see her a lot!) She is incredibly high energy and quite strong but being with her has given me a lot of skills to handle all kinds of dog personalities. For dogs that are more shy with new people, I make sure to not rush them and let them approach me (maybe using some treats as incentive!). No matter how long this process takes, I have always found this works much better in building a stronger sense of trust between me and the pet!

I can’t say enough great things about Ailise! She helped me out last minute this weekend, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we connected, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely caring with my dogs. It was such a relief knowing my pups was in great hands while I was away. Ailise went above and beyond with updates, photos, attention to detail, and making sure my dogs felt loved the whole time. You can truly tell she cares about animals and treat them like family. I came home to happy, relaxed dogs and I’m so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided on short notice. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog sitter!

Ailise took great care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! She sent us several photo updates and left our house in great shape.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
