Veterinary skills with lots of love
Pet care experience
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 5 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. I have a B.S. and an M.S. in Biology and Animal Behavior, work experience as a petsitter and medical professional, and a big heart eager to treat your baby like my own family.
Reviews
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.
Alison was thoughtful and patient with our Lucy, who has separation anxiety. Alison tried several calming methods including soothing music, and we were impressed. Thank you Alison!
Alison is wonderful! She took care of our senior dog while we were away. She was quick to respond and very reliable. We would recommend and plan to book her again!
Allison was great with our puppy.

Communication
Skills
Information Alison B. would like to know about your pet
I like to be aware if your pet doesn't like other animals just in case we pass any while out on walks. I also like to know any tricks or commands your pet knows so we can communicate better!
A typical day
I like going on long walks around your area and letting your pet introduce me to the area! I love to throw toys or play in an enclosed yard so we can focus on play without worrying about running off. I also like playing training games to keep their minds busy and build a trusting relationship with your pet.
