Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong pet lover and friend
I have had animals of all kinds in my home since I can remember. I grew up believing I would become a vet; I instead pivoted into neuroscience, but my love of animals still remains! I grew up with a German shepard -Rottweiler mix which has given me a soft-spot for large breed dogs, but I love everything with four legs! I have been volunteering at animal shelters as a dog walker and foster home since I was 12 years old, giving me experience with a range of animal's temperments and needs. I am experienced with reactive dogs and shy dogs, and am happy to cater my skills to your animal's needs. Note: I am also a runner and would be happy to take your dog for a run if they are well-behaved on a leash.

Safety, trust & environment
I am an incredibly calm person and I hope to carry that with me in my pet care. If welcomed into your home I will be nothing but grateful, and will follow any house rules you set.
Ratings and reviews
Alister was a wonderful sitter for my cat George! We had the opportunity to meet up before the sit began and he quickly established a rapport with my cat. He was great at keeping me apprised of how he and George were doing. I know from how happy my cat was upon my return that they both had a great visit. I cannot recommend Alister highly enough and look forward to working with them again!
Alister, and his partner Esme, took beautiful care of our cats, Dublin and Kalini. He double-checked the instructions before we left, stayed at the house and gave them love as well as food. The cats were happy and the house was spotless when we got home. Our cats would be happy to see Alister again any day.
Alister was very communicative and took great care of the pups!
