Pet care experience
When I was 11, I started to care for and eventually adopted a stray cat from our porch. Ever since then, I have been active in taking care of my cat and my dog. I have also cared for my neighbor’s pets when they went out of town, including hamsters, a hedgehog, fish, dogs and cats. Due to this, I am comfortable with any type of care that is needed.
Reviews
Allison always takes such good care of my girls! They are total opposites of each other but I know they’re in good hands with her and she knows how to make them both feel loved while I’m away!
Allison was amazing with my two senior pups! She was super responsive and helped us out when our plans changed last minute. Our pups seemed just slightly disappointed that it was us and not her when we got back :) Highly recommend Allison and we will definitely use her again in the future!
Allison was wonderful- came home to two happy pups! She was responsive and sent updates throughout her time with them. They were definitely in great hands!
Allison was great. She was willing to learn our routine and follow as needed. She was a quick learner as our senior dog takes a lot of medication. She was friendly to us and sweet to our fur babies (dogs & cat). She was easy to communicate with and sent us pictures and updates regularly. We’d have her help us out anytime.

Safety, trust & environment
In my client’s home, I try to do what the pet is comfortable with and respect that this is their space before it is mine. If my client gives any specifics regarding how I should be in that space, I will do my best to follow those requests.
Information Allison S. would like to know about your pet
How do they react to other dogs or cats, particularly if there are multiple pets in the home? Do they take meds or have special needs? Are there any allergies? Are they not allowed anywhere in the home or not allowed to do anything specific?
A typical day
I normally do what you tell me the dog likes. If the dog likes cuddles, I’ll turn on a movie and give them some cuddles and pets. If they like fetch, by all means we will be playing for 30 minutes straight sometimes! I don’t know any specific places around town, but if there is a place your little guy or girl likes to go, let me know and I’ll see what I can work out!

Availability
I currently live in the Jenkintown area and commute to Center City everyday. I do use public transportation, so you living within half a mile to a SEPTA stop is a requirement. I work most days 12-6, and I take dance classes almost every weekday evening. I would be able to care for your wonderful pets in the mornings, dinner time, and nighttime!
