Highlights
Pet care experience
Big heart for little paws
Hi pet parents! I'm a dependable, compassionate animal lover who treats every pet like family. I've spent years caring for animals. I fostered 2 cats (one of them became my foster fail baby!) and I rescued my dog. Caring for pets with different personalities—including my dog's anxiety and fear-based behaviors—has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of positive reinforcement. I've also worked with a professional behavior trainer, giving me experience understanding dogs of all kinds. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, so your pet's safety is always a top priority. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a leisurely stroll, playtime, or companionship while you're away, I'll follow their routine and provide plenty of love and attention. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I know trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I'm committed to caring for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I offer dog walks and dog / cat drop- in visits in your home. I follow whatever their normal routines are from exercise needs, meals, litter scoops, medication administration and any special instructions you provide. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra care, I'll tailor my approach to meet their individual needs.
Ratings and reviews
Very pleasant, keep me updated on how Roxie was doing. Roxie loved her walks with her.
We are so grateful to Alison for taking such wonderful care of our cats, Wrigley and Shea, while my husband and I were away on vacation. Leaving our pets is never easy, but Alison made it so much easier for us to relax and truly enjoy our time away. From the start, Alison was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly caring. She paid close attention to all the little details of their routines and made sure they received plenty of love, attention, and playtime. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them, and they were clearly very happy in her care. The daily pictures and updates meant so much to us. Seeing Wrigley and Shea each day, looking happy and comfortable, gave us tremendous peace of mind and made us feel connected to them even while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our two fur babies. Alison went above and beyond, and we are so thankful for the care and love she gave them. We will absolutely be asking Alison to watch Wrigley and Shea the next time we’re out of town. We highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Ali is caring, reliable, and genuinely loves every animal she looks after. Seeing how devoted she is to her own dog and cat makes it even easier to trust her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.
Ali has the biggest heart for animals as well as people. She puppy and cat sat for me when I had to go away for a few days. My furry babies were taken good care of and loved. She’s exceptional and I wouldn’t ask anybody else to take care of them. Very trustworthy.
