Safety, trust & environment
My cats and dog eat a raw fed diet, they are leashed trained and can perform tricks if that tells you anything about how much I love them! I am an animal advocate and work with a local shelter to help both dogs and cats!
Information Alyson W. would like to know about your pet
Before meeting someone’s pet, I think it’s really important to know a few key things: their personality, any quirks or triggers, how they do with new people, and how they behave around other animals. I also like to ask about their routine, things like feeding times, potty breaks, favorite toys, and commands they know. It helps to know if they have any medical needs or sensitivities too. Basically, anything that helps me make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for from the start!
A typical day
When I watch pets, I really just try to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. If they love being active, we’ll go for walks, play fetch, or run around the yard. If they’re more chill, I’m all about couch cuddles and just keeping them company. I also like using toys or simple games to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. Every pet is different, so I try to match their energy and do whatever makes them feel at home.

Lover of animals big and small!
Pet care experience
I’m reliable, attentive, and truly love animals. In my free time, I help spay and neuter feral cats and volunteer at the animal shelter. As a sitter, I follow care instructions closely, give regular updates, and I have experience giving meds. I have 5 cats and a dog! I am also an avid exerciser and have experiencing running with dogs! I am also very comfortable with bigger doggies and doggies that may have some behavioral challenges. I have worked with military dogs for about 6 years. I offer discounts on House Sitting if I am not required to stay overnight as well! My house sitting rates include 3 walks/ potty breaks. Additional breaks can be added at cost! I am more of a coming and going sitter but do offer constant care sitting at a premium rate.
