Availability
I am currently on summer vacation, so my schedule is quite open until I go to college in September. Even then, I plan to come home frequently on weekends and school breaks, though my availability will become more limited in the fall.

About Allison K.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I am at your home with your pet(s), I guarantee that they will receive 100% of my attention and care. Spending time with animals is my favorite thing to do, but I also take the responsibility seriously and will ensure that all of their needs are met and they are feeling safe and happy until you come home to them.
Information Allison K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any medical concerns, disabilities, or allergies your pet may have so that I can care for and accommodate them. If they have any preferences, quirks, or specific routines I should be aware of, that would be great to know as well.
A typical day
I really enjoy spending time with both high and low energy animals, so I will plan activities with your pet based on their own personality. I would be happy to play games or practice tricks with them, or to groom and cuddle them, and of course to take them on long or short walks.

Experienced and loving caretaker
Pet care experience
By working as a volunteer at the Ventura County Animal Shelter for over three years, I have gained lots of experience working with dogs and cats. Through the volunteer program, I have received multiple levels of professional training to work with dogs of all kinds, including fearful or reactive ones, and have passed assessments to qualify as an experienced handler. Although I am unable to keep dogs or cats in my home, I have always loved animals, and have worked privately as a pet sitter in addition to my experience as an animal shelter volunteer.
Reviews

Allison was communicative throughout our experience working with her, and most importantly, she was a really attentive and nurturing caretaker for our cat, Iris. She closely followed all our instructions, was very responsive to feedback, and made sure Iris had everything she could need or want. We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable & super caring pet sitter! Thank you, Allison, for taking good care of our kitty 😊🩷

Allison has watched our kitty twice now and has done a fabulous job both times! We’re so happy to have found someone who is reliable and trustworthy. Thank you, Allison!


Part of me selfishly doesn't want to leave the amazing review that Allison deserves because I don't want to invite the competition for her heart and soul service! We were away from our cats for the longest time since we adopted them from VCAS. What first caught my eye about Allison, in fact, was her extensive experience volunteering at VCAS. Most people don't do that without having a deep connection with animals. Allison impressed at every turn from proactively asking how else she could help to patiently handling our kitties 'acting out' in protest of our absence. She went above and beyond the basics giving us detailed daily reports, videos and pictures so we weren't worried a bit. To top it all off, we arrived home to a very unexpected 'thank you' note and delightful handmade treat! What a kind, lovely person and all around class act Allison is!!! We need more Allisons in our world! Just don't book her when we need her again. 😉


WOW! 🤩 We connected with Allison after our regular kitty caretaker had left (to return to school) and was no longer available, and boy…are we glad we did! Allison is highly responsive and reliable. She communicates clearly and very well — always in a timely manner. While our previous kitty caretaker did a good job, there were some standout differences we found in Allison that made us realize what an incredible soul we had the good fortune to cross paths with! Here are some highlights… 1 - As part of our requests, we asked that Allison walk around the house and check the carpets for any accidents but we failed to ask her to play with the cats. As she conducted her carpet investigations, she randomly found the cat toys and, on her own accord without prompting, spent oodles of time playing with our kitties. Ample time. Her check-ins and checkout times always exgended beyond the 30-minute window of “required” time. Thank you! 2 - She sent us pictures and videos of her brushing and pouring physical love onto our kitties. It was so heartwarming to see our kitties being cared for as well as she did. Her updates quickly became a centerpiece of our morning rituals and we couldn’t wait to pour over her updates together. 3 - Allison went above and beyond by being incredibly flexible before the booking. She also offering to contact Rover on my behalf to get one of my questions answered — something I could’ve done but her support didn’t go unnoticed. Later, she made herself available for days after the booking, quite literally being open to being “on call” for us as we navigated a challenging and last-minute work schedule while we were out of town. Thank you, sweet lady! 4 - Finally, without going into much detail, Allison went way above and beyond expectations by leaving us a special gift that we won’t ever forget…❤️❤️❤️ In this age of quick solutions and remote, app-centered engagements, she found myriad ways to cultivate warm bonds of connection and care that reverberated the L❤️VE she brings to her work. We could tell from the photos of our cat’s facial expressions and body language that they want her back and want no one else. I think anyone who is lucky enough to hire her will quickly see what I mean. It’s always a little hard to hand over the keys to your inner sanctum to a perfect stranger, but it quickly became obvious that Allison’s trustworthiness, her quality of care, attention to the details, responsive nature, and sense of accountability all come from a true desire to care for fur babies (and their owners). ❤️ She’s simply amazing and absolutely deserves your business. Hopefully Fortune will smile upon your family, too, and she’ll be available.
