Safety, trust & environment

I owned a cat, Higgins, who was a big lovebug and fairly food motivated. I was in charge of feeding him breakfast and dinner since we rescued him in 2015, along with scooping his litterbox. He also needed nightly medication for some stomach issues, so I have experience giving pills. I can feed your pet, clean up after them whether they have a set schedule or not, and provide medication if necessary.

Information Allison V. would like to know about your pet

If there are any behaviors I should be aware of, what their personality is like, how they should be disciplined if they misbehave, and any special needs they have would be great to know before I meet them. If an animal has special needs, I'd be more than willing to work with them as well. These include: blindness, three-legged, mild CH, deafness, FeLV-positive, FIV positive, trauma-related, partial paralysis.

A typical day

If you have a schedule you'd prefer I'd follow, I'd be more than willing to. Otherwise, for dogs, I would take them on a walk if needed and then hangout at the house playing games and/or relaxing in their favorite spot. For cats, depending on their mood, I would either simply hang out or have them play with their toys. I would also feed them if they're supposed to be fed.

Allison was amazing! Our two senior cats require a lot of attention and care. We came home to two very comfy and relaxed cats and were so grateful for all her time and energy caring for them while we were away. She handled their quirks with stride and gave our one cat his daily medicine and made sure everyone got treats and pets. Thank you so much!!

Allison did a fantastic job taking care of our senior (16 yo) dog, Scooter! He has separation anxiety and a couple of medical issues requiring medication, injections, and a special diet and she handled all of them like a pro! We were able to enjoy our vacation so much more knowing he was in such great hands!!

Allison did a great job taking care of our two cats. She followed instructions for them and gave them attention. They seemed happy and unstressed when we arrived home.
