Safety, trust & environment

I have background checked and have a clean record. I’ll follow your instructions and ask necessary questions to keep your pet not only safe but happy as well.

Information Allison M. would like to know about your pet

I can put pills into pill pockets or food. I prefer not to administer medication but can in the right situation. I’d request a test run here. I can look out for possible pre existing issues if you tell me how to.

A typical day

I mostly sit for cats. I love playing their favorite games or inventing new ones for us to play? If your cat doesn’t play, or lives pets, I give great strokes or pats based on your fur baby’s preferences. If a pet prefers something else, I’ll do my best to accommodate. I love giving treats and getting to know your pet.

Rescued+adopted cat from Mongollia

Pet care experience

I grew up with a goat, chickens, horses, cats, and dogs. I rescued and adopted my late cat Frapp while serving in Mongolia with the Peace Corps. I brought him home to California. I taught him how to walk on a leash and even brought him to the Russian border. I currently live with a tailless Manx cat. I taught my border collie how to play basketball. I enjoy taking my mom's rescue on walks when I visit. I sat for multi family and single-family pets. I love our earth and want to reduce my carbon footprint and thus use public transit. I will love fur babies and would be happy to care for yours.

Allison was so sweet and was a great sitter to my two cats! She came once a day, fed and played with them. She was great at communication and also sent me check-in videos and photos. Would highly recommend!

Allison is so thoughtful. She reached out to see if there was anything special for her to do for the cats due to the fireworks. And she is very observant and checks with me when she is not sure of something. And a lot of the pictures she sends are petting my cats at the front door, because they apparently won't let her get to a couch before demanding her pets. Lol.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
