Cats & Dogs & Cuddles - Oh My!!

Pet care experience

* please note drop-in prices are for one hour. I do not do half-hour drop-ins* Hello!! I am an active and friendly actor, and animal-lover! I grew up with both dogs and cats, and have been a professional pet care-taker for over a decade. ***Please contact me for additional pet discounts. If you have different pets (such as a cat and a dog), Rover doesn’t automatically apply an additional pet discount*** For dogs: I have experience with dogs of a variety of sizes and ages- from Bolognese to Wolfhounds. I am comfortable with basic grooming, feeding, giving medication, simple obedience, and tender, love and care. Running with dogs is one of my favourite forms of exercise, and I always clean up the poop! For Cats: My own cat, Bagheera, is incredibly dear to me - and I will love your cat just as much. I’m a big believer in cat enrichment and exercising a cat’s body and mind with play. Clicker training is my favourite way to engage with a cat. I make no promises, but if you’re game I’m happy to try and teach your cat some basic tricks! Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. I look forward to meeting a new furry friend! 🤗

Allyson took great care of our pup Meatball. He’s a senior dog that goes on walks in his wheelchair. Allyson spent an hour with us during the meet & greet, patiently learned about the logistics of the wheelchair and other care instructions. On the night of the house sitting, Allyson sent us periodic updates to put us at ease and even offered to stay a little later so that Meatball wasn’t home alone for too long. We would definitely love to have Allyson take care of Meatball again. ❤️

Allyson watched our 1 year old Lab, Penny and was excellent! Penny absolutely adored her and instantly wanted to be by her side and soaked up all of the love, playtime & belly rubs Allyson gave. When we were away for 2 nights, Allyson was great. She provided us daily updates, stuck with Pennys routine/needs, and made our nights away stress-free. We look forward to using her again soon!

Allyson was so generous and kind! Ruby gets very anxious whenever I leave, and Allyson immediately comforted her and tried to distract her. She went above and beyond and would love to work with her again!

I can’t thank Allyson enough for taking care of my super high energy 10 year old fox terrier Funny Allyson was super responsive, taking Funny out for long walks and stairs runs. Funny ain’t a low maintenance dog but I never got a single negative comment/question from Allyson Allyson, thanks a lot for taking such a great care or my first baby :) we’re hoping to meeting you on our daily walks in Hoboken/Weehawken. If you see Funny, please stop by :) With love, Funny & Anastasia

Availability

I currently work part-time remote, so have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! When it’s an option, I prefer staying overnight and living with pets. It helps us to bond quickly, I’m able to adapt my schedule to theirs, and alleviates loneliness and separation anxiety. That being said, transportation is not a problem so drop-ins and walks are more than welcome too!
