Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time and intentionally build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. This allows me to be flexible and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also like to set clear expectations with owners ahead of each visit so I can make sure I’m meeting their preferences and providing consistent, reliable care.

Information Alison R. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs or preferences, safety concern, reactivity, etc. I like to tailor my care as much as possible to the specific pet instead of a generic routine.

A typical day

I’ve found that both dogs and cats tend to behave much better when they have regular opportunities to burn off excess energy. I make that a priority throughout the day with play sessions, long walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. But always tailored to the owner’s preferences and the pet’s body language and responses!

Pets

Alison R. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Life-long animal lover

Pet care experience

I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including a special love for senior animals. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with special needs and I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need—whether that means slower routines, medication support, or just a calm, comforting presence. I’m also experienced with more independent or “spicy” cats and dogs through my time volunteering at a local animal shelter, and know how to read their boundaries, build trust at their pace, and make them feel safe without forcing interaction.
