Pets

Cat whisperer and animal lover

Pet care experience

As an animal lover myself, I know how much you might miss your pet and send very detailed updates with cute and funny photos! I've been around cats and dogs for my entire life. Because of that, I know how to respect and win over even the shyest animals. I raised several kittens from a few weeks old and nursed one back to health. I trained my puppy on my own. I am my friends' go to pet sitter because they know I will treat their babies as my own. Anyone who meets my cats Theo and Olive are amazed by how sweet and social they are. Theo has had medical issues, so I am really comfortable giving medication to pets.

Alison is an amazing sitter! She worked hard to gain my cats’ trust, sent loads of pics, and was very thoughtful in her communications. She watched my cats for TWO WEEKS and I totally trust her with their wellbeing. 10/10

Alison was wonderful! I had a medical emergency and needed someone right away for a few days. Alison responded right away and went above and beyond the whole time which really helped in a stressful time. She even brought an extra battery for my aquarium light remote when it went out. She took great care of my cats, dog with medical issues, and fish and gave detailed report cards with lots of great pictures. I highly recommend Alison!

Alison has been an incredible babysitter for my large dog and small kitten multiple times, and is my go-to whenever I’m out of town. Whether it’s a drop in, a walk, or an overnight stay, she is more than happy to meet your needs. Always quick to respond, and alleviates any anxieties about using a third party pet sitting service. 10/10 recommend
