Full Time Pet Sitter of 10+ years!

Hello! My name is Alison and I am a huge animal lover of all shapes and sizes! Being a previous dog and cat owner myself for many years and a pet sitter on Rover for over 10 years and counting, I have the experience and understanding for what it takes to care for your cherished furry family members. In the past, I have also cared for both domestic and exotic animals, granting me the confidence to nurture any animal-- no matter the size, breed, or demeanor. With each confirmed request, I make sure to fully communicate with pet parents by providing consistent communication, any necessary or urgent updates, and lots of cute pictures, as I know these animals are considered more than just pets to you, but instead family members. Since I am a full time pet sitter, my schedule is extremely flexible and I am able to coordinate my availability for any requested dog sitting stays, dog boarding, dog walks, and, of course, meet and greets. I accept requests on a first come, first serve basis and if there are any unexpected changes to my schedule that will interfere with the care for your pups, you will be the first to know! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have regarding my availability. My pricing is negotiable within reason, as I do understand that costs can add up per pet. In regards to cancellations, please provide at least a 48 hour notice since I do try to clear my schedule and accept only one booking at a time to fully accommodate each request. If the request is cancelled within this timeframe, you will be subject to not receiving a refund. However, I do know that emergencies can arise so just be sure to communicate with me and we can definitely work something out! Thank you so much for visiting my Rover profile and do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions. Hopefully I will have the pleasure of meeting you and your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment

For overnight dog sitting in your home, I make sure to give your pets all the love, attention, and care that I can offer! For each request, I ask owners to provide me with a list detailing their daily routine for their walks, play time, medications (if applicable), emergency vet information, emergency contact (local), allergies, sensitivity to weather, and feeding schedule. If your pups are showing any signs of distress or even seem picky with their meals, you'll be the first to know. I make sure to send updates minimum 2-3 updates every day that's filled with lots of photos of your furry family members as well. Since owners can get separation anxiety too, I'd be more than happy to send more updates, videos, and photos upon request. Your vacation will also be your pet’s staycation when they are under my care!

Alison was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met her, we felt confident our pets were in great hands. She took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to make sure she understood their routines and personalities, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the weekend, and it was clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone who is so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Alison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.

Alison was amazing with Ziggy and Marley! She took excellent care of both of them and kept me updated when Ziggy wasn’t feeling well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands.

I really can’t say enough good things about our experience with Alison! One of our pups got some unfortunate medical news after meeting Alison but before she watched them. Alison could not have been more caring and understanding about the situation, and was completely comfortable with the extra medicines and instructions required in caring for our dog. She sent us pictures and videos, and really set our minds at ease. She truly cares. We look forward to booking with her again in the future!

Before each dog sitting request is confirmed, I’d love to schedule a meet and greet to make sure we’re the perfect fit! During meet and greets, we’ll become better acquainted and pet owners typically run through their pups’ schedules; going over any necessary information to ensure your pet gets the best possible care. This may include: any administered medication, if they experience separation anxiety, have sensitivity to loud noises (such as thunder or fireworks), are known to damage personal belongings, or eat human food if within reach, if they're fully potty trained, emergency vet information, emergency contact for someone in the area, and/or any other crucial information that I should be aware of. Knowing your pet's favorite toys and treats are always helpful to know as well to fully win them over!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
