Pet care experience

Lover of All Animals, Young and Old

I’ve always had a dog in my life, and it was my responsibility since I was young to care for our family pets! I am 32, and at the age of 13 I started housesitting dogs/cats for neighbors and friends. Consistently in the last 10 years, I have taken care of pets for family and friends while they are out of town. I have a 15 year old dog who is blind, so I understand the desire to have someone give specific care and love to an animal with special needs. Every animal I take care of, I care for like it's my own! I have cared for multiple large dogs at once, dogs with high energy demands, as well as dogs as young as puppies or as old as seniors. I have also been a nanny for the last 5 years, so respecting someone’s home and space is essential to me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for other’s homes and pets how I would want someone to care for my own. I am extremely respectful, and will make sure your pet and home are my first priority! I am very good at following specific instructions for pet-care in one’s own home. I have experience caring for both old and young pets, as well as pets with additional needs, such as routine medications and vitamins. When housesitting, I am also able to give animals as many walks/play time as desired. Although I have a dog of my own, I will not be bringing my dog along for walks/housesitting (my husband is able to watch him at home). I also am in constant communication with the owner, when caring for their pet.

Alison is the best. Our Sherman just loves her and always enjoys hanging out with her.

I am beyond grateful to have found Alison on Rover. She has such a lovely, calm and pleasant manner and took great care of my very rambunctious pup during the several overnights she watched him. Alison sent me updates with pictures of a very content dog, and took great care of my house. I cannot recommend her enough!

Alison knocked it out of the park once again!!! My wife and I never have to worry about the car of our dog when Alison is on the watch. My Sherman loves her so much, he actually gets depressed for a day or two after she leaves.

Alison was a perfect choice for the care of our dogs while we were away. We knew from the first time she met our dogs everything was going to be great. Thank You Alison!

Schedule

I have recently moved to Delaware to be closer to family. With this new move, I also hope to focus on my art career and get more involved in the community. With that being said, my schedule is very flexible! I am a morning-person who loves to exercise early, so morning dog walks/pet care wouldn't be a problem! I also do not mind being up later at night, if that is what your pet needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Alison can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs, such as medications, behavioral traits, fears, or triggers. Please also let me know if your pet has a favorite thing to do or toy to play with! Along with that, I would like to know common commands that are used in the home for the pet.
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.
