Cat & Dog Caregiver / SPCA Volunt.
Pet care experience
What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve.

Reviews
Allison was beyond amazing with our boys! We’re new to the area and needed to find someone on fairly short notice. She went above and beyond to provide updates on their wellbeing every day. One of our pups suffers some pretty serious anxiety around new people and absolutely adores her. 100/10 cannot recommend her enough!
Allison is a great dog sitter for us! She is dependable and loves animals. She has been dog sitting our two dogs and 2 cats for 5 years.
Allison is wonderful with animals. She has 3 dogs and 2 cats, herself. She is very responsible. She’s worked at a local animal shelter as well; coming in and taking care of the animals as well as spending time with them.
About Allison B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
Information Allison B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know specific boundaries that your dog/cat may have, whether they prefer lots of attention or prefer to have their own space. Also, let me know if your pets may have special needs and/or medicine so I can cater to their specific needs.
A typical day
I absolutely love spending time with dogs, whether it’s taking them on long walks, going for a jog together, or playing fetch in the yard until they’re happily worn out. I enjoy being active with them and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. It’s always such a joy to bond with each dog’s unique personality through play and movement! For playful cats, I often play with them using toys. For calmer cats, I give them space and have patience before approaching them to gain trust.
