Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive, energetic animal lover
I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 7 years of professional dog walking and pet sitting experience. I worked for a veterinarian in the Catskills and at an animal rescue in Boston, experiences that taught me about animal health, behavior, and compassionate care. I was always the kid trying to heal the injured bird—caring for animals is simply who I am. Since 2017, I've built lasting relationships with wonderful clients through Rover. I care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'm also experienced with cats (I've had 9 throughout my life!). My current clients trust me with consistent weekly walks, vacation care, and last-minute requests. I'm known for being reliable, flexible, and communicative. I treat every pet as an individual and provide regular updates so you always know your furry friend is happy and safe. I also bring over a decade of childcare experience—families trust me with their homes and their most vulnerable loved ones. What I Offer: Reliability, flexibility, individual attention tailored to each pet's needs, clear communication with photos/updates, and genuine care—your pet isn't just a job, they're a friend. Services: Dog walking, pet sitting (dogs & cats), vacation care, medication administration, puppy/kitten care Let's chat about how I can help your furry family member! Service Areas Currently serving South Philadelphia, Northwest Philadelphia, Hull, MA, and surrounding areas. I have reliable transportation and can discuss service to other nearby neighborhoods.

Ratings and reviews
Allyson is a great pet sitter! She is easy to communicate with and sent many pictures and detailed updates about Olivier while I was away. She even watered my plants for me 🙏💕 thank you Allyson. I can recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
Great communicator and very patient with Pluto. Very reliable!
Allyson has been great in supporting our shy and anxious pup. She is very patient with him. She is great with communicating with us about any updates so we don't have to worry while we're away from home.
I hired Allison to walk my dog and she did a great job. She arrived on time which I appreciated.
Allyson has been taking care of my dog Mowgli since 2010. I always return from travel to find him happy, well cared for, and generally no worse for the wear. Because he does not travel well, she comes to him, which makes the whole thing less traumatic for him, and very much easier for me as he is there waiting when I get home. I would recommend Allyson to anyone looking for responsible, living, and reasonably priced care for the pets.

Schedule
I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I'm available for walks throughout the day, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I can accommodate both regular weekly appointments and last-minute requests.
