Availability
My schedule is currently very flexible! I am especially interested in connecting with those in need of in home sitters while I am traveling, but open to day time walks and visits as well. I am a former real estate broker, used to have my own small business. I am taking some time out to work on my art, learn some tech skills, and travel.

Experienced Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals and genuinely love earning their trust. In high school, I worked in dog and cat boarding at a local veterinary practice, where I gained hands on experience caring for pets with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. Since then, I’ve continued pet and house sitting for friends, family, and clients, volunteered with shelter dogs and cats through the PSPCA, and cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, iguanas, ducks, quail, chickens, and fish. After spending the past eight months traveling and pet sitting, I’ve recently made the Bay Area my home. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets like family, communicate thoughtfully, and leave your home just as clean and cared for as you left it.

Reviews
Allison has been the best pet sitter I’ve had. I traveled out of the country and was anxious about leaving my dog, cat and chickens. From the start Allison went out of her way to ease my anxiety. Photos every day of my pets at play and leisure. Updates on issues in my neighborhood and home but only to alert me and always taking care of unexpected concerns herself. My requests were quickly taken care of as well. My home was clean and tidy on my return. I highly recommend Allison for any pet sitting position.
Allison was a wonderful dog sitter. She communicated often and clearly, and I always felt like my dogs were well cared for and in good hands. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed being with the animals and really cared about their well-being. She also went above and beyond in some really thoughtful ways. She made a little photo album of my dogs, organized a few things around the house, and offered helpful suggestions that could make things easier for future sitters. Those extra touches were very much appreciated. I found Allison to be responsible, trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring. I would definitely have her sit for my house and pets again!
Allison was fantastic with our dog! She was reliable, communicative, and trustworthy, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of our pup and kept us updated throughout our trip. We would absolutely book Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!
Having Allison as a sitter was a best-case-scenario situation. She was wonderful to communicate with, lovely to be around in person, and took exceptional care of our home and animals while we were away. This was a very long sit and a big commitment for us both, as it was the first time having her. I'd highly reocmmend her to anyone looking for a safe, reliable sitter.
