Dedicated And Loving Pet Caregiver

Pet care experience

I am a true animal lover -- many times clients have apologized for being "crazy pet parents", and I just tell them so am I! I have a hard time imagining life without my own pets, so I understand the deep bond between people and their furry, feathered, or scaly friends. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible knowing your companions are in good hands. I have 2 years of experience at a veterinary hospital, so I'm able to administer medication and care for pets with special needs. I've also had experience with all kinds of animals, ranging from dogs and cats to exotic mammals, reptiles and birds. I've run an independent pet sitting company for several years with a great reputation, and am highly reliable and organized. Your pets will get the best quality of care (and a lot of love!) from me. Animals are a super important part of my life. For me, caring for pets isn't just a job, it's something I truly love to do!

Alison took fantastic care of our 8yo Shepherd. She is professional and fantastic with large puppers!

Harley was returned to me happy and tired! Alison and her roommate were very sweet to both me and Harley and kept me updated with lots of pictures throughout her stay! You can tell that the girls are real animal lovers and I felt very comfortable leaving my neurotic baby with them

Alison is super reliable and she always gave us good feedback about the walk. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone needing a walker!

Alison has been a great help to us walking our dog while our regular sitter is away for the summer! She is super sweet, attentive, responsive, and seemed to really love our dog like her own. I have to give a special thanks because, as an owner of a pug (a delicate breed) who is really enthusiastic about going on walks, we have struggled a bit in the past with walkers who listened to our dog rather than our instructions and inadvertently over-exercised our pup. Alison really took our care instructions to heart and I consistently felt our dog was in good hands. Thanks again :)

Information Alison K. would like to know about your pet

I love all kinds of pets! Just need to know if your furry friend has any special needs or requirements so I can give them the best care possible.

A typical day

When I walk with dogs I like to figure out what their preferences are; some like to have a routine of walking on the same path and seeing the same doggy friends, others are very adventurous and like to have a different walking adventure every day. When we're not walking we'll have a lot of playtime, practice some tricks, and cuddle up together after a long day of fun.
