Highlights
Pet care experience
Life is better with 4 legs & a tail
I am a life-long cat mom and all-around animal lover. I have been a cat & dog sitter and dog walker for over 30 years and love getting to spend my time with four-legged friends. Though my loyalty is to my kitty, Phyllis, she allows me to walk and drop-in to check on other dogs or cats :) My attention to detail and reliability have helped me succeed in my professional career and I feel that also makes me an excellent sitter and walker. I know the level of care I expect for my cat - she’s my baby! - and I will provide that same care for your fur-baby :) As a home owner, I also know how important it is for my home to be cared for by a pet sitter if I’m away and I provide that same level of care in my client’s homes. During the school year, I’m available for drop-in cat visits after school and am available dog walks, as well, most days in the late afternoon & evening. As an educator, I'm off during the summer. I am hoping to gain some weekday morning dog walks to keep me moving as well as weekday drop-ins. I live & work in Waltham and would available to families in Waltham and nearby towns within a few mile radius.

Safety, trust & environment
I am very aware of pet safety, having a cat of my own who is extremely important to me. I will take care of your pet (and home) as I would do for my own.
Ratings and reviews
alyson is awesome! my kitty isnt pretty shy, and warmed right up to alyson ❤️ clear communication and plenty of cat pics brightened up my time away!
We’ve had Alyson visit our cat 3 times now. We know she will be well cared for and loves her visits!
Alyson is fantastic. She truly cares about the pets and we can see how much our cats enjoy her company. She has a great attention to detail and even took notes when we met to make sure she knew everything important.
Alyson was great - recommend to anyone!! She came over ahead of time before the stay to meet my kitty and get all the instructions. I knew Mallie would be in good hands while I was away. Alyson was communicative, punctual and provided lots of photos and updates :)
Alyson is the BEST. She's always so good with my cat, Zenon absolutely adores her, and she's so reliable -- 11/10 all the time for Alyson, she's been our preferred friend forever now!!
Alyson did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She communicated regularly and kept us updated on how the cats were doing, which was a nice relief as we were traveling!
