Highlights
Pet care experience
Your animal fam are my fam too!
Forreal, they’re my faves of all the family members lol! I have many cherished years of experience caring for kitties and pups of all ages, including babies and seniors with special needs. With the exception of of my boy cat Sherbie, who was taken too soon by cancer, my animals have lived long and happy lives. That said, while I so loved being a dog and cat mom, losing each one was really hard (sometimes feels like yesterday!), so for the time being, I prefer to petsit other folks’ animal family members than adopt just yet! My dog Amy was a big and active dog! We spent lots of time on the trails when she was young and leisurely walks on flat sidewalks when she was a senior. She did have arthritis in those later years, so pilling her with medication became a daily game lol! My girl kitties Biggie and Nandie were foster fails who I had the pleasure to know since they were just two weeks old, and thankfully, there many more years with them as seniors. Each had special needs, including one with insulin-treated diabetes for the last 6 years of her life, so I got in lots of practice giving meds and taking samples for the glucose meter. All my animals were snugglers, and I was thrilled to comply! I’m not what you would call a disciplinarian, more like a grandma (although people food is a non-starter, unless it’s something that you insist on!) I do give as much affection and attention as they want, if they want, and if not, I give them space to be. I’m just happy and honored to care for them. I haven’t had too much experience with birds and small mammals, but I can follow instructions!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m unable to keep furbabes in my home except for my mom’s dog, who is on my lease lol! Leave me detailed instructions, and I will ensure that your home is secure as I can make it! No loose pups outdoors unless there is a complete fence, otherwise on-leash for sure. Indoor kitties will be indoors, leashed if they have the option, or catio’d/enclosed. Indoor/outdoor kitties - I prefer they stay indoors or in an enclosure during the house sitting, as they might get spooked by a stranger in their home, but up to you. Outdoor kitties - depends on yall’s routine, leave me detailed instructions please. As of October 2025, I am certified to perform pet CPR and first aid! I’m also happy to water your plants, if you’re out of town for more than a couple days.
Ratings and reviews
Fantastic dog and house sitting!! I’m always nervous leaving my pups, but Allison definitely took very good care of them. Will definitely use Allison again. 5/5 🌟
Allison is amazing! She is a pet/animal lover through and through, you can tell. She has tons of experience with cats and dogs, so she knew exactly how to work with us (helicoper parents). She knew we were nervous about leaving our special needs, elderly German Shepherd alone, so she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and informed. You can tell our dog truly enjoyed his time with her, and we were also able to relax and enjoy our time-off without worries. Highly recommend her.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Allison for over 25 years, and consider her my best friend; as well as one of the most caring, dependable, funny, and animal loving people I have known. We have grown up together, along with all of our (several generations) of rescued fur babies. She has pet sit for me a multitude of times, and all of my animals have loved her like a second mom. Now that we are older, and more matured and seasoned animal caretakers, I’d say our skills and lifelong experience make for top notch Pet Sitting 🐾 You can trust Allison to treat your pets as if they were her own ❤️ Kim S.
Allison is the BEST person for a pet sitter. She herself has been a pet mom to many a lucky animal and she has the kindest and most fun nature about her. She speaks to animals basically and they love her so much, they know. I would trust her over anyone to care for my fur babies for sure❤️
We absolutely love Allison! but most importantly, my dog Klaus loves her! You can immediately tell she has a special bond with him, and he truly lights up every time he sees her. It’s such a relief to know I can trust someone with my dog, especially since he’s a German Shepherd and can be wary of new people. Allison not only won him over but gave me complete peace of mind whenever I was out of town. She would send me thoughtful updates, post walk notes, and adorable pictures throughout the day so I always knew they were doing great. I can’t recommend Allison enough! if you need someone to care for your pet, she’s the one!

Schedule
I work from home full-time during the weekdays, on the computer with few meetings. During regular work hours, all my breaks are devoted to your babies. After 4p on weekdays and all of the weekend, I’m all theirs! If you have wifi, that’s wonderful! If not, that’s ok, I have a mobile hotspot. Either way, I can stay with your pets in your home, and not leave them alone.
