Pet care experience

I’ll be your pets new favorite

Hi! I’m Alison, but most people call me Alie. I’ve grown up around pets my whole life—everything from hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits to cats, geckos, and of course dogs of all sizes. I’ve raised dogs from puppies all the way through their senior years, and I’ve also adopted shelter dogs. My early experience comes from helping at the animal hospital where my mom worked, and that taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and compassion in caring for animals. I’m 40, have a degree in Elementary Education, and work full time. Outside of work, I spend most of my free time with my own dog, Sammy. We go hiking, kayaking, walking in the woods, and even out on the river together—he’s truly part of the family. That same love and dedication is what I bring to caring for your pets. ⸻ My Care Style • I treat pets like family, making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and activity. • I follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. • Walks, playtime, and enrichment are always part of the day. • I can take pets on fun outings like park walks, trips to Lowe’s/Home Depot, or pet stores if requested. • Safety is a top priority—I drive a mid-sized SUV with a hammock in the back seat to protect pets during travel. ⸻ Availability • I work on Ft.Knox, I can walk and/or do check-ins on weekdays if you live on post (weekends also of course) • I live in Elizabethtown, I can assist in the surrounding areas before or after work hours, on my way to and from work • Weekends not limited and can accommodate anything including house sitting. ⸻ Helpful Info I’d Like to Know To provide the best care, I ask pet parents to share: • Any food or toy aggression triggers • If your pet dislikes being touched in certain areas • How they behave with kids, loud noises, or other pets • Whether they’re comfortable in new environments or around stairs • Any allergies, health issues, or special routines The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t care for my dog, or any pet, like normal people do. I treat animals as my kids and love to see them happy, healthy, and in a good home ( mine has the tv on when I go to work). If I’m caring for another’s pet, Sammy usually goes to his grandmas so your pet can have my full attention. If I am caring for a pet in a clients home, I’m flexible and will accommodate the pets usual schedule, plus anything extra such as taking them to the park, to Lowe’s or Home Depot to walk around, or a pet store. I have a mid sized SUV and I use a hammock in my back seat to prevent injuries in the event of any accidents.

Alison was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond—not only was she professional and attentive, but she even saved my plant after my cat had knocked it over. That kind of care and thoughtfulness really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with her help and highly recommend her!

We were nervous about leaving the girls with a non-family member. Once we met Allison and saw how she interacted with our critters, we knew she was the one for us. She did an amazing job. We loved the pictures and videos of her interacting with them. She picked veggies from our garden so they wouldn't go uneaten. She gave the front porch plants a much needed drink. Additionally, she handled an unexpected package with the care it required. She'll be our go-to sitter from now on.

I returned home to find the house extremely hot and my dogs panting. I checked the thermostat—it was 80 degrees. I had specifically asked her to keep an eye on the AC, it had stopped working the night before, and she never informed me or checked it the next morning. This lack of communication and attention was very disappointing, especially considering a few other concerns during the stay.

Alison was absolutely great with our 2 cats! They are both very high maintenance in their own way and she didn’t hesitate to take on the challenges. We are very appreciative of the stellar job she did looking after them while we were gone. Highly recommend.

Schedule

My daily schedule is basically built around my two dogs, and caring for them isn’t something I would consider as “fitting-in”, they are my routine. My friend tells me that I have an “unnecessary amount of empathy” for my dogs.

There are so many things that are important to know ahead of time, some most pet owners don’t even think about. Such as, is your pet is temperamental towards kids, loud noises, anything with wheels, etc. or are there any triggers for aggressive behavior. Is your pet food aggressive? Does your pet not like to be petted or touched in certain areas? Is your pet aggressive with other pets/dogs, only likes females, or if they’re friendly with all other dogs? , I’d like to know how comfortable they are in new homes, if they can go up and down stairs with no issues, or if they have any allergies. There are so many things to consider, but I’m sure you get the idea.
