Pet care experience

Your beloved pets are family to me

I’m a kind-hearted, gentle former teacher with a love for animals. Besides pet sitting here on Rover since 2019, I’ve been a pet owner most of my life. Animals are precious members of the family, and I will certainly treat your pets as mine! I work from home (with central air!) and have a flexible work schedule. On most days, I can walk, play with, or keep your pets company at any time during the day. I have a fenced in yard and a playful 5.5 year old dog who loves friends! We've had all sorts of dogs here: big, small, puppies, old, and it's always been very peaceful and comfortable for all animals. I live in a great neighborhood very close to Dexter park and Bell Street dog park. What might set me apart from others is that I’m very good at following exact instructions and respecting your way of doing things, which makes me highly trustworthy. I’m also reliable and can think quick on my feet if necessary. I also have a very sweet 12 year-old cat and I’m happy to do drop ins to care for your cat/s as well!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog of my own. I also can crate your dog if you'd like. My dog has a big crate she doesn't really use anymore or you could bring your own. Dogs are welcome on the sofas and bed :) I live in a house with 4 condo units. I own my condo and my neighbors in the house are all awesome and are aware of my pet care business.

Alison is very reliable and took excellent care of my cat over the holidays. My cat is shy but Alison was patient and my cat eventually came out to greet her. I would definitely book her again.

Alison is fantastic!! She was so lovely during our meet and greet, and was so sweet with my little Harry which made me feel confident about the visit. She kept me updated during the check-in and was wonderful with my little guy. She is kind, reliable, and very capable. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with Alison again!

Alison was amazing, my dog slept in the bed with her the entire time. She sent photos. Her dog is also amazing and so sweet and playful with my dog. I’m so thankful for her patience and understanding.

Alison has such a wonderful way of interacting with dogs. She has been taking care of our dog Pepper while we are away and on busy days. Pepper can be nervous and has a few special needs but Alison makes sure to calm her down with a gentle approach. Pepper now expresses great joy every time she sees Alison. While away, we get pictures and daily updates about Pepper from her.

Schedule

I work from home so I can constantly be around for your pup and give them the attention they need! On weekends, I try to plan to mostly be home when I have dog visitors, but I may be gone for a couple hours here and there. I have a pet cam I’d like to set up when I leave to keep an eye on them and make sure they are happy and comfortable.

Is the dog good with other dogs and strangers (thinking about walks on the street)? Is the dog good with cats (I have one). Any medications or health issues? No breed preference. I love all dogs.
