Pet care experience
I'll be there when you can't be!
Hi all! My name is Alison (Ali for short) and I've loved animals my entire life! I had both cats and dogs growing up. As soon as I was on my own, I kept the trend going and have never been without pets since! Growing up, I took care of several friends and family pets on a repetitive basis. Now, as an adult, I do the same for my neighborhood and extended family and love every minute of it :) Luckily for me (and you!), I've cut the tether to my office so I can just pickup my laptop and be wherever you need me to be, whenever you need me to be there! I'm more than happy to keep your loved ones company while you're away. Currently, I have a dog, chickens, fish and a gecko. I'm comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and both fresh and salt water aquariums. My partner and I care for all of them together and he's happy to hold down the fort at home while I'm helping do the same for you. I completely understand the need for boarding but personally I've never been comfortable doing that for my babies. I've always found in-home care for them so that their anxiety is low, their needs are met and they're not alone. The best way to achieve this (in my opinion) is by keeping them in the safety of their own homes. And because I work from home, this allows me to do that for you. I'm at your service!

Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to offer you peace of mind while you're away from home, knowing your pets are lovingly cared for. I wouldn't want it any other way for my own fur babies! Whatever care is required, I'm more than happy to assist...walking, playing, feeding, cleaning up after, administering medication (if needed) and of course lots of pets and cuddles! I'm pretty fierce about what my dog is fed and will strictly adhere to whatever the feeding routine is, including treats. Nothing is more important to me than the health of your pet and I take that responsibility very, very seriously.
Ratings and reviews
This is the second time Ali has watched our dog, Rosie. Ali is great. Very responsible and dependable. She took great care of our house and Rosie. She is a real animal lover and clearly enjoys spending time with Rosie. We will most definitely ask her to stay in our house and watch Rosie again.
Alison was very attentive to our 3 dogs of varying needs and sizes! She followed our directions closely and kept us informed throughout her stay with them. Our pets were happy and well cared for when we returned. Alison was also the perfect house guest. We highly recommend.
Ali was awesome - she was attentive and active with Gogo, and she communicated really well with me. I’d definitely use her again - Gogo loved her!
Ali took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. We definitely will hire her again. Very attentive to the dog in our instructions and he got a lot of love and care.
Ali took care of our dog in our house for two weeks. She was wonderful with our dog and took great care of our house. We had some issues with unfinished work around the house and she herself had sad family news, but in spite of all of this she was reliable, dependable and had a great attitude. We would most definitely hire her again.
Alison spent three nights looking after our two cats and we could not be happier to have have a sitter who is responsible and caring. Alison did not hesitate to reach out to us if she had a question which are grateful for her not guessing on what to do. Alison also kept our bird feeders filled and the plants watered, going forward we will definitely request Alison to house sit our girls. David R

Schedule
I work from home full time so my schedule is flexible. I prefer to do in-home care in your home. Since I have animals of my own, I feel it's safer to care for your fur babies in the comfort of their own home. I'm happy to do day sitting as well as overnight sitting. I'm open weekdays and weekends as well. Since my schedule is so flexible, we can figure out whatever arrangement works best for you and your family.
