I am a primary grades teacher on summer break. This means I have lots of unused patience I typically spend on my little ones to use on taking care of your beloved pets and household, as well as lots of time on my hands to attend to your needs!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for any pet like they are my pet. As a pet owner myself, it is so hard being away and worrying how they’re doing. When I leave them in others’ care, I would hope they care for my pet like they are their own. I take this philosophy into the homes and lives of others. With extensive practice in child care, pet care and medicine management, and house sitting, I will come to your aid with a lens of empathy and compassion.
Information Allison M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or is on a medicine cycle! I am comfortable giving pills, liquid formula, and subcutaneous fluids.
A typical day
We will go on walks and runs, play fetch and tug of war! After, we will come home to get a water break and cuddle.

Pet care experience
I have been watching my friends’, family’s, and neighbors’ pets for 5+ years now. I offer a “Wow” factor of service that goes beyond the traditional water, food, bathroom routine. When I care for any pet, I take the extra care and time to play and cuddle so your fuzzy friend is never lonely. I make sure to bring my Polaroid camera to take pictures of your pet while you’re away so you never miss a moment and can display your cutie anywhere in the home - completely complimentary! I also have extensive experience with administering medicines like liquids, pills and subcutaneous fluids to differently abled pets. My own cat has needed each of those in the past so I have grown comfortable doing so and take extra care in the practice. My service is exemplary; neighbors who no longer live close to me still call me up to take care of their pets. I can’t wait to take care of yours!

Reviews
I am so lucky to have Allison in my life! She has watched my dog and cat (plus my many reptiles) on multiple occasions and without a doubt, I would ask her to do it again. She eases my stress of being homesick through good communication and continuous updates. She is trustworthy, caring, and compassionate, and most importantly, my dog loves her! I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter.
Beyond being the sweetest person I know, Allison is reliable, responsible, and dedicated to the assistance of others. She arrives at the agreed upon time and follows instructions appropriately. She demonstrates good communication skills by asking questions when necessary and by offering frequent updates. My 15-year-old dog returns home cheery and well-loved. I know I don’t have to worry when Allison is caring for my animals.
Allison has been caring for our cat, Mouse, for around three years, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier to have her as our petsitter! She is consistently reliable, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. Mouse adores her, and it makes me so happy that Allison adores her right back! I always feel secure leaving town knowing Allison will be making visits while we’re gone. We love and highly recommend Allison!!
Allison is GREAT with Bully and Spike! She arrives on time and does everything we need while giving our little guys the attention they need! I would HIGHLY recommend Allison to anyone who needs a pet sitter or dog walker. She’s the best!
