Dog-Sitting Pro, Cat-Loving Heart

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals—especially senior pets. I’ve grown up with cats and have helped care for senior cats since I was a kid, including giving daily medication and managing arthritis. My childhood cat recently passed in January, but my parents still have one senior cat I regularly visit and help care for. While I’m a cat person at heart, I’ve also dog- and house-sat for two different families in my hometown. One family has two energetic boxers and a senior Chinese Crested dog, plus two cats—I’ve taken care of their pets every summer, so I’m very comfortable with busy, high-energy homes and senior care. The second family includes a sweet mutt named Murphy, who I cared for while the retired couple traveled. I’m currently a student at Pennsylvania College of Art and Design, and my two roommates and I share a tuxedo cat named Sylvester. He’s loud, cuddly, and definitely the boss of the apartment. Between experience with senior care, high-energy dogs, and multi-pet households, I bring patience, dependability, and genuine love for animals to every sitting job.

Allison has grown up with cats and has adopted a feral cat and a cat transferred from a previous owner during her time at College. She lives with two other roommates, but it is Allie who makes sure the litter box is clean, water available, and takes care of the cat's play time. She has also been a dogsitter for our neighbors multiple times and has been very reliable in taking the dogs out, spending time with them, even when she is tired. She truly cares about the pets.

Allison has been an absolute blessing for our family! She’s cared for our three mischievous, high-energy Boxers in our home for the past four years, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else. Her dependability, patience, and genuine love for our dogs gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Knowing our pups are in Allison’s caring hands allows us to truly relax. Highly recommend!

I can’t host pets in my own apartment since it’s a small space and we’re unsure how our cat would react to other animals, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in your home. I also send photo or video updates so you can feel confident that they’re safe and happy while you’re away.

Information Allison B. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, any medical needs, and how they typically react to new people. I’d also love to know their likes and dislikes—favorite toys, walking preferences, if they have any fears (like storms or vacuums), or things that might trigger anxiety. If they’re on a specific feeding schedule, take medication, or have quirks I should be aware of, I want to be fully prepared to give them the best care possible.

A typical day

It depends on the pet’s personality, but I love making sure they stay active, engaged, and happy! For dogs, that might mean walks, fetch, tug-of-war, or just zooming around the yard. For cats, I’m all about feather toys, laser pointers, or cozy cuddle sessions if they’re into that. I also love spending quiet time just keeping them company—whether it’s belly rubs, brushing, or simply hanging out.

This summer, I’m looking for full-time work—whether that’s house sitting, pet sitting, walking dogs, playing with cats, or just giving your pets some love and attention while you’re busy. I’m happy to stop by during the workday for potty breaks, cuddle sessions, or walks. I have a super flexible schedule right now and would love to spend my days caring for animals! I start my senior year as a full-time student at the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in the fall, but even during the school year, I manage my time well and can take on pet care jobs around my classes. I love spending time with animals—it’s honestly a highlight of my week and a nice break from schoolwork.
