Pet care experience

Experience with all types of pets!

My name is Allison and I’ve worked with all types of animals throughout my entire life, both at home and on farms. I also worked for a pet boarding facility, where I professionally took care of pet owners’ loved ones while they were away. I’ve also had extensive experience with special needs, elderly, and pets with serious health concerns. I currently have six(!) cats, one dog, one hognose snake, and one ball python, but I have experience with so much more! I’m sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs. Note: Additional fees may be incurred for longer-distance travel to help compensate for travel time/expenses. This will be assessed on a case by case basis as needed. Thank you!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a reliable car and will drive to your home to take care of your pets, no matter their variety. I can also stay with them, giving them quality time and attention for longer periods as necessary. I cannot host pets in my own home, however, for the safety of my pets and yours.

Allison was absolutely wonderful with our challenging fur-babies. All the dogs are large and older, with unique medical needs, making it difficult to find someone to care for them. Allison was the perfect person! She communicated frequently, could handle anything unexpected, and sent funny pictures to keep us informed. We will definitely hire Allison again and give her our highest recommendation!

Allison was absolutely wonderful with my cats! She communicated very well, and absolutely saved my fiancee and I for accepting our request on such notice over the holidays.

Allison was amazing. This was my first time using an in house sitter, so I was a little apprehensive, but I was more than pleased! Allison gave me numerous updates and pictures a day and and Freya looked happy and comfortable. I will absolutely book her again!

As much as you're willing to tell me. I strive to keep pets' routines as normal as I can for them so they can have as little stress as possible while you're gone. Specifically, though, I would appreciate times/amounts for feedings and medication administration, as well as any behavioral concerns with your pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
