Paws and Maws- Care Without Pause
Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals my entire life. Growing up I always had dogs and cats and even worked with horses and other animals at barns. As I got older, this love and passion continued to be a driving factor where I have volunteered at several animal shelters or rescue centers, and my family has always trusted me to pet sit and provide well-researched advice regarding anything animal. I wanted to be a veterinarian, but as life makes many turns, that didn’t pan out, but my love for animal training has never ceased. Some of the places I’ve volunteered at include Humane Shelters, Horse Rescues, and even Equine Therapy centers for the benefit of individuals with special needs. Today, I help my parents with their three beautiful dogs, and I myself have four mischievous cats, two fish and a caulker caye boa.
Reviews
From the moment I met Alison, I knew that she loved animals. She's worked with horses, adopted cats, and even helped me care for my fish. She loves dogs as well, and strongly believes that every animal should have a loving home.
Alison is absolutely great! She's never met an animal big or small she didn't care for and she has watched my pets before from short term to over long periods without me once having to worry about their well-being. She truly knows that being a pet parent means our babies are our world and always keeps me updated with pictures when I'm missing them to know they're getting lots of love. Extremely punctual, friendly, and professional!

Safety, trust & environment
I live for detailed instructions and will follow them to the best of my ability and with your family members’ comfort and happiness in mind. Walks every four hours? No problem. Breakfast, lunch and dinner? Yum! Making sure to scoop that pesky cat pan, and maybe play a little chase with a laser pointer? Absolutely! Whatever you need, let’s talk and you can trust that it will be done.
Information Alison A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special considerations your furry family have. Do they need medicine, an eye out for seizures? Are they prone to excited piddling or perhaps getting into things they shouldn't? Anything you can think of, let me know! We can chat in person to go over all of the details. I am confident in administering anything your furbaby needs as my mother and mother in law are veterinary technicians, so I have been around nearly everything in my years of animal handling.
A typical day
Since I am only able to bring my services to your family, I will ask for as much information from yourself about what your pups and kitties love to do. Do you have any local parks or snuffle mats and games we can play inside or out? Any favorite toys or dietary needs I should be aware of? I may bring treats myself for my furry friends, so let me know when we chat, and trust that your paws are in good hands.

Availability
As of now, I am finishing my Bachelor degree in Psychology, so other than that I have nearly unlimited time to dedicate towards pet sitting, walking or feeding as needed. I’m happy to meet all of your furry, feather, scaled or gilled friends and make sure you can travel or work with ease at mind!
