Highlights
Pet care experience
I love every pet I've ever met!
Hi! My name is Allison(she/her), and I love animals. At my last job I was the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my coworkers and got loads of experience through that. Over the years I've been trusted to stay in people's homes with their beloved pets sometimes for weeks at a time, and I am committed to taking the absolute best care of your animals and your home. I also will happily walk in just about any weather and love taking 5-10 mile walks, so if you're looking for extra long walks I'm your girl! While most of my experience is with dogs, I've cared for a wide variety of animals. I'm comfortable with any pet from insects to reptiles to rodents to birds, as long as they are well cared for!

Safety, trust & environment
I have been a huge animal lover my entire life. My family dog was a street dog in Taiwan for the first few years of her life, and it took years of patiently working with her to get her to the point where she was even comfortable being touched. I also used to have an elderly, grumpy chihuahua who was on several medications which she needed multiple times a day, and I've had to give a lot of meds to my family's cats over the years as well. Between the special needs pets I've owned and all the ones I've gotten to pet sit, I have experience with a huge variety of temperaments, breeds, and medical issues. I pride myself on being able to sense what kind of care an animal needs, whether its constant attention and play or just giving them time and space to get comfortable with me. Please don't hesitate to ask for additional references or ask any questions you might have! I also want to add, for house sitting if you have multiple pets I am happy to negotiate rates, for example if you have both dogs and cats I would only charge for the dogs unless the cats required more than just attention and food. Essentially I will charge for whatever animals require the most care and throw in any "easy" pets for free within reason. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your pets, thanks for reading!
Ratings and reviews
Allison was dependable and communicative! I felt comfortable leaving our sweet, but sometimes reactive, large dog in Allison’s care.
Allison was great! She took excellent care of our dogs sent lots of updates and pictures.
First time meet and greet with my dog and Allison. They seemed to get along well. Allison was gentle and very engaged in meeting my nervous shy dog. Hope to keep seeing Allison often on a weekly basis.
Allison is great with our dogs. Communicative, kind, and reliable, our two dogs love her.
It was so lovely to know my kittens were safe (and entertained) with Allison. She communicated wonderfully and left the house nice and clean for me to return to :)
Allison provides great updates and takes excellent care of our pups!

Schedule
I'm currently doing walking/pet sitting full time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I know that with the pandemic more people than ever are working from home, and as a result we're seeing a lot more animals with separation anxiety. I am happy to adjust my schedule however I can to accommodate that, just let me know if you need a sitter who won't leave your pets alone for more than a few hours at a time.
