I’ve taken care of animals since a very young age, including cats and dogs of various ages. I have administered oral medications to both cats and dogs! I truly love all animals and want to work with you to find the best way to care for your furry family members❤️. I have two cats of my own and they are the best girls around!

Ally was amazing we will definitely be booking with her again. She was extremely fast to respond to each message I sent, super friendly when we did our meet and greet, and exactly on time for each visit. She sent lots of pics and updates, and even went above and beyond to bring in our packages for us. Our shy kitty Nelly warmed up to her right away which made me feel so comfortable that he is in good hands! She did a great job administering his medication.

Allyson is a repeat catsitter for me! We had her first for our wedding and we recently rebooked her again for a family beach trip, and I was so happy she was available! She took a lot of photos, and we loved getting our daily report cards which were always thorough and sweet to read! Both of my cats seemed to remember her from last time which made us happy, and she did a great job taking care of them and keeping the litter box clean. I would (once again) highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Allyson was wonderful, punctual for every visit and communicated very well. She even squeezed in a last minute visit for us when our flight got delayed. Would definitely have her watch our kitties again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
