Pet care experience

Our pets are our best friends!

Growing up, we had all the sorts of pets that one can imagine…dogs and cats mostly and the whole family took part in taking wonderful care of them. I personally have had my cat, Clarence, for about 13 years now and he still acts like a kitten! Love that guy with all my heart. I love dogs too, but I’d like to have a fenced in yard before I get another one. I help out with friends and family whenever they need help house/pet sitting and enjoy it very much (that’s how I get my dog time in 😊). I’ve also worked for a company called Fairy Tails in DC. It’s my sister’s company, and I help whenever I visit. All in all I’d treat your pet like it were my own, and I’m also used to different types of personalities in pets and don’t shy away from the shy ones.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My cat, Clarence, gets along with other pets. Trust me when I say that he doesn’t lack in the love department. He runs freely inside, but my yard isn’t fenced in, so I don’t let him go out. I would follow pet/house sitting, and dog walking instructions as to whatever the client would request.

Alison goes above and beyond every time she watches our dog child. Love love love her. We have a 90lb dog which most people are very intimidated by, but not her. She is so good with him. Wish I could be stingy and give her a bad review so I can keep her all to myself, but that is just impossible to do to such an amazing person.

Alison, Thank you for doing such a great job with my 3 girls. You willingly took on the challenge of keeping a Older Rottweiler from licking open wounds on her leg and you prevented it - I really appreciate it. You kept me updated on their happiness, multiple times a day, which allowed to me to relax and enjoy our time away. I hope you will be available the next time we need someone to look after our girls as they were well taken care (& they missed you when you left)

Alison goes above and beyond. She loves on your pets as if they are hers. I can’t get better care for Rex than that.

We are grateful to have found Alison a week before a last minute weekend away! She stayed in our home with our 2 pups (ages 4 months and 2 years) and took such great care of them and our home! She sent lots of pictures on walks and of worn out pups afterwards. Highly recommend! Thank you, Alison!

Schedule

I do have a regular job that would require me to be away for 8 hours at a time. I work mostly evenings starting at 3:30pm. With enough notice, I can take the time out to stop by or even stay over as long as it’s not too far away. Thanks for your consideration!

It’s very helpful to know about your pet’s personality so that we can have a great time! Also (and equally as important), any medication and specific food instructions that you may have.
