I'm here to take care of your pet!
Pet care experience
I adore dogs and cats! I've cared for dogs my entire life, and without a pup of my own, I need some dogs and cats to dote on! Not only can I fulfill the basics of feeding and walking your dog and/or cat, but I will shower him or her or them with affection -- belly rubs, ear scratches, games of fetch, or whatever they like best. If your cat or dog is staying with me, they will be pampered with affection, multiple walks, play time throughout the day, and being able to go outside whenever they need to. I have cared for dogs with active allergies, infections, and injuries, so I am able to administer oral medication, ear drops, topical medications, and wrap bandages. I know from experience how to handle excitable dogs and timid cats, and everything in between. I have flexible availability and am extremely responsible. I hope that you entrust me with taking care of your four-legged family members; to me, there's no greater or more enjoyable responsibility than caring for animals. My rates are a little lower than average because I am just starting off on Rover. I definitely have the experience necessary to take wonderful care of your pets, and I would love the chance to show you!
Reviews
Alison was wonderful! Provided loving attentive care to my dog on short notice. Highly recommend!
Alison was amazing. She had the hard task of taking care of both of our cats, and she did an amazing job. I'd absolutely have her back any time. I know the cats would too.
Alison was great as always! She was flexible and able to accommodate my need for a very fast drop off.
Alison did a great job with Cooper! Looking forward to using her services again.

Safety, trust & environment
I always ensure the pets are as comfortable as possible with me, at ease and happy. I follow instructions for food, water, treats, and play time very carefully so the pets feel as at ease as they would if you were home! I keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they are happy and healthy.

Information Alison B. would like to know about your pet
Before dog or cat sitting, I would like to know the temperament of your pet-- if he is excited and likes to jump, or if she is shy and cautious, prone to hiding. Additionally, if your dog has any allergies or health issues I should be aware of, I would like to know that, too. I do not have breed preferences.
A typical day
Depending on where you live, I would love to take your dog to a park! If that's not an option, I will scout the best routes and change them up occasionally to keep life interesting for your pup. I'd play with your dog according to what they're in the mood for-- fetch, tug, or a good old-fashioned round of keep-away. If your dog is more chill, I'm happy to scratch their ears or back. If they're young, I can even help them practice new commands! For visits with me, I’m very close to Prospect Park and absolutely love taking dogs there. I’m also close to the doggy beach so if you & your dog are both comfortable with it, I can take them swimming!
