About Allison J.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take safety and respect for your home very seriously. With my background in professional animal care, I’m trained to follow clear protocols, stay observant, and make sure every pet and environment is secure before I leave. I always double check doors, gates and locks, keep routines consistent, and maintain a calm, controlled environment, so your pet feels comfortable and is safe. I leave your home exactly as I found it, and I treat your space with the same care I’d want for my own. You can trust that your pet will be supervised responsibly, your home will be respected, and you’ll receive updates so you always know how things are going.
Information Allison J. would like to know about your pet
As I have worked with many different types of animals, I can provide very specific care for whatever your pet needs. Please let me know if there’s anything particular you want!
A typical day
I love to work on training behaviors with dogs, as well as doing activities that allow their energy to come out like long walks or games of fetch. I also like providing safe, mental enrichment activities, such as ice treats, or treats in a cardboard box to give dogs a chance to use their brains.

Experience Animal Care Pro
Pet care experience
I have professional animal care experience from working in zoological settings, where I cared for a wide range of species and learned safe handling, mental engagement, and precise care protocols. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and I always prioritize, safety, consistency, and compassion. I’m not just a pet lover - I’m a trained animal care, professional. My background gives me a deeper understanding of your pet’s needs than the average sitter. I stay calm, patient, and observant, and I’m committed to providing excellent care. You can trust that your pet will be taken care of with the same professionalism and kindness I brought to every animal I worked with.
Reviews
Allison was so sweet and caring. My dog Tato doesn't warm up quickly normally and she was glued to Allison the minute they met. She clearly is an animal lover and a good person in general! I got picture updates and good communication and I was told my house was left clean. Tato and Tillie would be very happy to have her back!
Allison was amazing with our dogs and so kind to them. Our older one had some medical issues and she had no problems giving her daily pills wrapped in cheese and insulin injections under the skin twice per day. She was always careful and made sure the dogs swallowed their medicine, went for walks, and got plenty of attention if they wanted some. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy sitter to interact with their pets.
Allison is not only a compassionate, attentive pet sitter, she’s professionally trained to care for animals as part of her degree! She recently watched our senior dog (14 years, Cavachon) and our lively pup (1 year, Wheaten Terrier) when we were out of town for 10 days. She updated us with photos, managed their various preferences/medications, and even worked on some training commands with the pup. We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands and being kept on their usual schedule even as they got lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Allison!
