Ali's Critter Care

**Please Note: I am fully vaccinated but I often wear a mask as a precaution. It is your choice whether to wear a mask or not. Need someone to take care of your pets while you are on vacation? Or even just come by during the day? Dogs, cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, I can be of service. I also can bring in your mail, water, plants, or other various house-sitting duties during any overnight stay with your pet. I have reliable transportation and can provide references from current, satisfied clients. I am college-educated and offer flexible rates to meet your budget. I owned a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for 10 years. I have also done pet sitting for various clients in California, New York, and Connecticut. I have walked dogs since I was 11 years old. I have worked as a volunteer for TVAR and East Bay SPCA with both cats and dogs. New Clients: If you wish to book with me, please notify me within 24-48 hours of your planned trip so that we can arrange a meet and greet. It is my primary source of income and it is a priority to me. So, pet care is prominent in my daily calendar. It is something I do almost every day. I often have other pet sitting jobs going on simultaneously with house sitting (drop-ins, walks). I will notify you if I need to step out of the house at any time during my stay. I take pride in my work and try to satisfy the needs of the owner and the pet. I will show up at a specific time every day if you make this requirement very clear. I often text pictures to the owner of your pet and I playing, cuddling, and sitting on my lap.

Thank you for taking care of our kitties so well again!! It helps so much to know they’re in good hands while we’re out of town. :)

House Sitting • Jun 24, 2025

Alison sat for our dog and two cats over 5 days. We were very nervous because our dog can be very reactive. However we got through our extended weekend without any issues. We do wish though that we got more updates with how our pets were while we were away. Our dog seemed to be healthy and happy when we got home. Big thanks to Alison. With her help we were able to enjoy our time away with minimal worrying.

Alison has done such a wonderful job taking care of our two cats on three separate trips now. She is professional, caring, and keeps us updated super well! I would highly recommend Alison to any of my friends or family. Knowing she is taking such great care of the kitties gives us such peace of mind when we’re away. Thanks Alison!

Alison stepped in when we needed coverage for our 2 cats when our other sitter was not able to make it. She was able to follow our detailed instructions and kept our cats happy. I would recommend her for anyone who needs pet care.

Does your dog have any food aggression? Where does your dog normally sleep? How much affection does your pet normally require? If you have a bigger dog, how does your dog behave on the leash? Does your dog have any separation anxiety? How long can your dog be left alone if I need to step out of the house due to another committment? These other commitments are often other pet sitting jobs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
