Availability

I’m currently working full time M-F but as long as your dog is spayed or neutered I have plenty of room for them! I have a finished basement that if they require their own space will be very easy to separate from my dogs if needed. I’m around most weekends and holidays.

Pet care experience

I’ve been dog sitting for friends for years. When I purchased my own home one of the dogs I was taking a care of ended up being my dog full time due to circumstances the previous owner wasn’t anticipating. Shortly after after we adopted a pit bull from the shelter and they became best friends. A year later we tried fostering and he fit in the pack so well that we failed and adopted him 3 weeks later. I took a hiatus from Rover to acclimate the newest addition to “being a dog” he had a sad backstory and was learning to be a dog with his brothers. Now that he’s settled in and confidently part of the pack he’s always very excited to spend time with new dogs and often mimicks their behaviors trying to be like them! We’re still working on smaller dogs if in honest. But bigger dogs he seems to love to idolize. I have a lot of love to give. Both a fenced in yard and non fenced in yard and live close to a state park for walks. I do work M-F but welcome dogs all week long. Currently only accepting spayed and neutered dogs for boarding. Asking for 3 days notice but life happens and if I’m available can do same day!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! Alison was amazing and went above and beyond! She treated Rascal like he was her own. She gave frequent and detailed updates so I was always at ease and knew he was in great hands. He had the best time running around her yard with her dogs, playing in the pool, and getting to go on an adventure to a state park. She even gave him a little pampering session! Every photo she sent Rascal was smiling so hard. I was worried he was not going to want to come home! I would 100% recommend Alison and she will be the first person I contact the next time I need a sitter

Alison was a phenomenal sitter. She took care of my Chopper like he was her own (I was a little afraid he wouldn’t want to come home with us lol). Alison always made sure we got our daily AND nightly updates on how his day was going (along with lots and lots of pictures!). I highly recommend Alison to take care of your furbabies! You won’t be disappointed :)

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.
