Hard working student who loves pets

Pet care experience

I am a hard-working graduate school student looking for an enjoyable job to help pay some bills. I have loved and cherished pets all my life because I was never able to have my own as a child due to financial reasons. I have done all-encompassing petsitting including loving the pets, feeding them, walking or exercising them, administering meds, and home sitting since I was a freshman in high school. I learned that the joy of taking care of pets has been the best job I have had the privilege of performing. I have been a pet caretaker substitute many times in case thei usual sitter became ill. However, I did have many consistent customers before moving to the big city. I have taken care of all ages including young, adult, and elderly pets. I have been able to care for up to 6 pets at once and at a client's house as well as watering plants, getting the mail, and taking out the trash. Since then, I have been hired by her again 5 times before she had to move. Also, I stayed at a client's house for 2 months with two 1-year-old collie mixes while she was on vacation and was hired again twice when she was away again on vacation. I took care of a family friend's elderly, sweet golden retriever a few times while she was on trips. I have also taken care of birds, turtles, fish, and a bunny multiple times if you are looking for other types of pet care. All of them were experiences that I cherished. Additionally, I have taken care of pets with special needs such as those that require oral medicine, specific feeding needs due to teeth loss, anxious pets, and those with exercise requirements. I try constantly and consistently to be a sincere and kind person to people and animals and I would love to meet your animals. I have 13 hours usually per semester with lab hours, but I always try to be flexible and I would love to hear from you. Lastly, as a young woman in the big city, I would prefer to not be out after dark, so my cut-off is around 8:30 pm. I hope this is not a deterrent, but I understand if you seek another petsitter. I wish the best for anyone reading this and I hope to possibly do business with you.

Allyson is so good with my two cats, she plays with them and gives them lots of attention. They love when she visits and she always leave them a toy. Will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Allyson has repeated care of my two cats. They adore her. She is very professional, careful, caring, playful, responsible, dedicated. I have peace of mind knowing she is with my cats.

Allyson is very responsible, caring, and certainly is able to deal with any unexpected situations that may arise. Our dog accidentally shattered a window pane right before Allyson had arrived to look after them and she was able to deal with the situation herself quite well. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services.

Safety, trust & environment

At your house, I try to acclimate to your pet's schedule as much as possible. In addition, I try to make drop-ins and house-sitting more than just bathroom breaks or feedings. Pets need and deserve more including some play time and love. I always try to give daily updates including pics and videos if they do something too cute to miss. I will always take in your mail and packages and water any plants with any service if you would like! For overnight stays, I will take out trash if needed.

Information Allyson W. would like to know about your pet

Their overall temperament (energetic, laid back, etc.), any unique behaviors, pre-existing conditions, or habits. Also, any tricks or commands they have learned and the rules of the house. As long as your pet can overall mind their manners and have a good overall demeanor, I have no issues with what others might call rowdy pets. My motto, which I hope others live by as well is: treat others as you would like to be treated. I will always try to provide this kind of environment for your pets and you: the owner.

A typical day

Any pet in my care should expect lots of pets and kind words, fun games as well as exercise depending on the dog and their energy level, treats if the parent(s) approve, and a combo of relaxing and snuggles if that is what the precious pet would like.
