Furry Friends' Best Pal!

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Ali Quinn, and I'm thrilled to be back on Rover to provide love and care for your furry companions. Let me share a bit about myself: I first joined Rover in 2019 while pursuing my college degree in anthropology. As much as I enjoyed caring for pets, I needed to focus on my studies, so I took a break from pet-sitting to dedicate myself fully to school. Fast-forward to today, and I'm excited to say that I've graduated and am now working remotely, giving me the flexibility to once again pursue my passion for pet care. In 2021, I made the exciting move from Fresno, CA, to the beautiful city of Boise, ID. I've fallen head over heels for this vibrant community – from the friendly people to the picturesque parks and the delightful farmer's markets, Boise feels like home. My journey back to Rover was inspired by my beloved tripawed companion, Ixie, who recently passed away from cancer. Ixie was more than just a pet – she was my soulmate and brought immense joy into my life. While I deeply miss her, I've found solace in the company of animals and am eager to shower your pets with the same love and care I gave to Ixie. At home, I have Pumpkin, my sassy 10-year-old orange kitty, who never fails to brighten my day with her playful antics and unwavering affection. When your fur babies are under my care, they'll be treated with the utmost love, attention, and respect. Whether it's cuddle sessions, leisurely walks, or fun playtime activities, I'll ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cherished throughout their stay. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter – I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members!

Alison was such a sweetheart with my kitty! She even left a great photo she took of her for me and card on how she was. If I'm going out of town again and need a sitter, she is definitely my first choice!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I offer a cozy and safe environment for your furry companions to thrive. Living in an apartment, I understand the importance of regular outdoor breaks, so rest assured, your pets will be taken outside for bathroom breaks at least every 4 hours during the day and every 8 hours overnight. Throughout the day, they'll enjoy engaging playtime sessions, soothing cuddles, and nutritious meals, tailored to their individual needs. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a romp in the nearby park, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. For clients opting for in-home pet care, I bring the same level of dedication and attention to detail. I adhere closely to your pet's established routine, providing consistent feeding times, regular bathroom breaks, and ample opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. No matter the setting, whether in my home or yours, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of your pets above all else. With my attentive care and genuine love for animals, you can trust that your furry friends are in capable hands.

Information Alison K. would like to know about your pet

Understanding each pet's unique needs, preferences, and quirks is essential for providing the best possible care. Here are some key things I'd like to know about pets ahead of time: Medical History: Any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or special dietary requirements your pet may have. This helps me ensure their health and safety during my care. Behavioral Traits: Information about your pet's temperament, socialization level, and any behavioral challenges they may have. This allows me to tailor my approach and provide the appropriate level of support and guidance. Routine and Preferences: Details about your pet's daily routine, including feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite toys or activities, and any specific rituals they enjoy. This helps me maintain consistency and minimize stress for your pet while they're in my care. Interactions with Other Animals: If your pet has any history of aggression, fear, or anxiety towards other animals, it's important for me to know so I can plan accordingly and ensure a safe environment. Emergency Contacts: Contact information for you, as well as any emergency contacts or veterinary information, in case of any unforeseen circumstances or emergencies. Comfort Items: Any favorite blankets, toys, or comfort items your pet has that can help them feel more at ease during their stay with me. By providing this information ahead of time, you can help me create a personalized and comfortable experience for your pet, ensuring they feel happy, healthy, and well-cared for while under my supervision.

A typical day

I strive to create a fun and enriching experience for the pets I watch, tailored to their individual preferences and energy levels. Here are some activities I love to incorporate: Outdoor Adventures: Exploring nearby parks, nature trails, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood allows pets to stretch their legs, sniff new scents, and soak up the sunshine. Interactive Playtime: Engaging in interactive games such as fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek keeps pets mentally stimulated and physically active. I always have a variety of toys on hand to cater to different interests. Puzzle Toys and Treats: Puzzle toys and treat dispensers provide mental challenges and rewards for pets, keeping them entertained and engaged while stimulating their problem-solving skills. Training Sessions: I believe in the importance of ongoing learning, and I'm currently in the process of gaining more training experience. Incorporating basic obedience training or teaching new tricks not only provides mental stimulation but also strengthens the bond between pets and myself. I'm committed to utilizing positive reinforcement techniques and patience to help pets learn and grow in a supportive environment. Cuddle and Relaxation Time: Sometimes, pets just want to snuggle up for some quality bonding time. Whether it's a cozy nap together or gentle pets and scratches, I'm always ready to provide comfort and affection. Special Outings: Depending on the pet and owner's preferences, I may plan special outings such as visits to pet-friendly cafes, pet stores, or dog-friendly events in the community. Customized Activities: I'm always open to incorporating activities that align with each pet's unique interests and needs. Whether it's a splash in a kiddie pool for water-loving pups or a peaceful bird-watching session for curious kitties, I'm committed to ensuring each pet has a tail-wagging or purr-inducing experience under my care.
