Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s new best friend
I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been a huge animal lover. Recently moved out with my fiancé so I miss my two fur babies so much! (luckily they’re at my parents house not too far, so i see them as often as possible). In addition to caring for my own pets over the years, I have about 3 years of experience dog and cat sitting for others. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of relaxation, as well as younger, high-energy dogs who need more activity, walks, and playtime. While I have more experience with dogs, I’ve also cared for cats and am comfortable with their basic care, including feeding, spending time with them, and cleaning litter boxes. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and adjust to what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. Whether that means going for a walk, playing, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care and attention while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed and discussed beforehand, and any other parts of their daily routine. I’m happy to spend time playing with higher-energy pets or simply provide companionship and attention for pets who prefer a more relaxed environment. For cats, I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, playtime and attention, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ll also respect your home and make sure your pet’s space is kept clean and comfortable. I’m happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away so you know how your pet is doing!
Ratings and reviews
Alison has provided me with excellent care for my 2 dogs many times. It’s obvious she loves dogs because I get lots of snuggle pictures while I’m gone 🙂 And of course, you can tell they love her. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I currently work as a nanny, which gives me availability on most Mondays and Fridays until 12 PM, unless kids are home from school. I am also available on evenings/weekends depending on timing and the needs of your pet. I’m open to overnight pet sitting as well and have experience with overnight stays, although availability may depend on the timing and circumstances of each booking. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s schedule and needs to see what works best!

- Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know a little about their normal routine and personality! Please let me know their feeding and potty schedule, favorite activities, energy level, and any special routines or quirks they may have. I’d also like to know about any medications, allergies, health concerns, fears or triggers, and how they typically behave around other animals and people. For dogs, please let me know how they do on a leash and if there’s anything I should be aware of during walks. Most importantly, I want to know what makes your pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable so I can make their time with me as stress-free as possible.
