Hi there 👋 My name is Allie and yes I would LOVE to hang out with your pets! I'm an animal lover and a fulltime sitter 🥰 ✔️ MY EXPERIENCE I am bonded and insured with decades of experience watching dogs and cats! My family had both growing up and I enjoyed training them and caring for them. Because I loved animals so much, I quickly became THE neighborhood pet sitter in middle school and high school; walking dogs, feeding fish, and scooping litter boxes. As an adult, I am still the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. More recently, I worked in tech for over a decade and burned out, so I decided I needed a change. I started petsitting fulltime in 2023 and I love it! I'm experienced with both puppies and kittens as well as older dogs and cats, including medication administration (oral and injection). I also take other critters such as fish, lizards, and small mammals! ✔️ MY PETS I got my first cat of my own 12 years ago (Chewie) and another 6 years ago (Mochi). They are very well behaved and I even trained them to do tricks! I use cooperative care techniques to clip their nails every week, brush them daily, and give them medication. They even fly with me to come see my family 😺 ✔️ MY APPROACH I believe every animal deserves respect and loving care, as we are their guardians in this life. I always meet pets where they are and respond to their level of comfort when meeting or sitting for them. I employ cooperative care strategies with my two cats so they always feel safe and in control when I am caring for them, and I will do the same for your pets! ✔️ MULTIPLE SERVICES If you are interested in booking with me, here is what I offer: - Drop ins: this is a 30 to 60 minute visit that includes feeding, fresh water, a potty break, light tidying of pet areas, and snuggles or play time. We can discuss your pets specific needs! I take dogs, cats, fish, lizards, hamsters, and other domestic pets. - House sitting: this is overnight care, and includes dinner, breakfast, an evening walk, a morning walk, potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and light tidying of pet areas. I do not offer constant 24/7 care, but we can discuss and agree on how long your pet may be left alone while I am sitting for them. - Grooming: this is mainly for cats and may be added to a drop-in visit or housesitting. Cat grooming can include brushing, dematting, a sanitary trim, waterless shampoo, ear/eye cleaning, and a nail clip. I employ cooperative care techniques, as I want my clients to feel safe when they are with me; this also means if clients don't cooperate I won't be able to finish completely sometimes! - Walks: this is mostly for dogs, I will take your pup on a walk around your neighborhood for exercise and mental stimulation. I require that they be leash trained and know basic commands.
