Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary skills with lots of love
Taking care of animals is both my profession and my passion! I grew up with dogs and love dogs of every size, but now have two cats and have learned I'm a cat lady too! I've been working as a veterinary technician, veterinary assistant, and boarding manager at different times for the last 10 years, so I have plenty of medically relevant skills including medication administration, injections, fluid therapy, blood glucose monitoring, and recognizing medical emergencies. I am also Fear Free certified, which is a nationally recognized certification of specialized training in reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. Whether you have an older pet with special medical needs, a younger pet who needs some supervision to stay out of trouble, or anyone in between, I'll be happy to be their new friend.

Qualifications

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my number one concern while watching your pets. I prefer to stay within your yard and home where your pet is most comfortable, but can also do walks in the neighborhood when appropriate. As a medical professional I'm also very comfortable identifying medical concerns or emergencies and taking action.
Ratings and reviews
Alison took excellent care of my 2 older dogs. She was very prompt with responding and provided timely updates. I would definitely recommend and plan to contact her again when we need.
Alison was great with my dogs. She was very attentive and understanding of their needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. She was great!
Alison took amazing care of our sweet boy, and left our house just the way it was! Happy to be able to continue to work with her 😊
Alison is a true GEM!!! She stayed with our senior dog and kitten in our home for more than a week and gave us the best peace of mind while we were on vacation. I can't give her enough praise, will definitely call on her again!!!
Alison looked after my two large dogs and did a great job. Was very pleased with her professionalism and attention to the job.
Alison took great care of Duke for one week when we were out of town. She paid attention to Duke so much that after she completed the stay, Duke was constantly running to her room looking for her. Alison shared pictures and provided updates frequently. Alison's provided us with some great tips based on her vet background. We really appreciated that. Alison was absolutely fantastic. We will definitely have her over to take care of Duke in future.
