Pet Sitter for 7 years & counting ♥

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alison and I am a huge animal lover of all shapes and sizes! I am a recent graduate from the University of Central Florida and while my post-graduate job hunt continues, I would love to dedicate my spare time to care for your wonderful pets. Being a previous dog and cat owner myself for many years and a pet sitter for Rover for over 7 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 recent graduate and no longer a full time student, 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. However, my schedule is subject to change if a job opportunity arises. For this reason, I am holding off on accepting requests that are too far in advance. I accept requests on a first come, first serve basis and if there are any changes to my schedule that will interfere with the care for your pups, you will be the first to know as soon as I'm made aware! 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, medication time (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 vacation when they are under my care!

Information Alison W. would like to know about your pet

Before I begin dog sitting, I request the following information from each owner to ensure your pet gets the best possible care: suffers from separation anxiety, if they're in need of medication, sensitivity to loud noises such as thunder or fireworks, 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 what your pet's favorite toy and treat is always helpful to know as well!

A typical day

My dog-sitting style is to approach every dog with an immense amount of love and affection. When your precious pup is under my care, I will be sure to follow their typical, daily routine to assure that they are the most comfortable while you are away. With every animal I look after, I make sure to go above and beyond to ensure that both owner and pet alike feel secure and reassured. Your pup and I will enjoy long walks, plenty of treats (in moderation), endless cuddles, and lots of play time! While I look after your pet, I will be sure to treat them as if they were my own.
