Highlights
Pet care experience
Previous Veterinary Technician
I spent 8 years as a full time CVT at a downtown cat/dog animal hospital. Handling all responsibilities from kennel care to monitoring surgery and worked my way up to Tech Manager in my time there. I am currently working full time but manage my day around your pets needs to my best ability. Most of my pet sitting has been for pets requiring medication(i.e. diabetics, heart disease) or special handling due to reactivity to others. Rate changes could apply based on pet needs. A happy pet is my main goal. We will enjoy what they like to do. Some activities in the past have included fetch, "running" through the house (when allowed), walks, and any snuggles they choose to dish my way! In addition, feedings will be followed as instructed, fresh water daily. Long stays or daily visits are welcome. I have sat households of many sizes, from a single pet to six. Dogs of all sizes. Additional pets; furry, feathered, or scaled. Scheduling in advance is suggested, holidays book early and quickly.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I maintain all routines with pets while owners are gone to ensure everyone’s safety. Also, spend the time to learn each pet and what their pastime likes and dislikes are.
Ratings and reviews
Allison has helped us with over night stays twice now and she is SO great! Very responsive and Peyton loves her!
Allison has been an amazing dogsitter for our dog, Max. This is the third time we’ve worked with her, and she continues to exceed expectations every time. She’s reliable & communicative, and most importantly Max is always happy and well taken care of when we return. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Highly recommend Allison!
Allison was amazing. Our dogs were very comfortable around her and Allison was excellent with communication. She kept us well informed. We could not have had a better sitter for our dogs. We highly recommend Allison.
Allison was great - it’s always good when you come home to a happy and relaxed dog, and she kept us updated throughout. Will definitely book with her again when we next go away!
Allison was great with our dog. She was super understanding and open to our dog’s timeline and comfort level. Definitely recommend!
Allison was incredibly patient, calm, and thoughtful with my very fearful dog. She handled slow trust-building, medication, and accidents with total professionalism and genuine kindness, always respecting my dog’s boundaries. Her consistent updates gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so happy she was available to book for my last trip and she will absolutely be my first choice in the future.
