Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, Experienced Pet Sitter
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special soft spot for cats. I’ve had cats my entire life and understand their personalities, quirks, and need for calm, consistent care—especially when their humans are away. Whether your pet is social and playful or more on the “observe from a distance” side, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral and topical), have experience with daily insulin injections, and I take a patient, gentle approach to make it as stress-free as possible for your pet. While cats are my specialty, I’ve also cared for small dogs and even chickens—so I’m very comfortable managing a variety of routines and needs.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, litter box and exercise routines, and any household guidelines provided by the owner. I understand that every pet is different. Some cats want lots of interaction and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and consistency. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and adjust my approach accordingly. Safety and communication are important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing while they're away. If I ever have a question or concern, I communicate promptly rather than making assumptions. I also treat my clients' homes with the same care and respect I would expect in my own home, ensuring pets remain safe, comfortable, and secure until their owners return.
Ratings and reviews
Alison is amazing! Definitely a cat whisperer! One of my cats runs and hides if he sees there is someone at the door he doesn't know. When Alison came to the door for the first time, he actually approached for some pets! I am so impressed by the genuine care she has for my kitties and the time she put in to understanding the routine they have, as well as all my high maintenance things I do for them. Also, great at keeping up communications. And when the unexpected happens while you're away, you can definitely rely on her to handle it! Overall, one of the best cat sitters and home sitters I've ever had!

Schedule
I work a structured 9-5 daytime schedule, which allows me to provide consistent and predictable pet care. I am available for morning and evening visits, and I offer overnight house sitting for pets who are comfortable with a normal daytime routine. Because I carefully manage my schedule and take on a limited number of clients at a time, I can provide reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention while you're away.
