Pet care experience

Small Animal Enthusiast!

I'm a HUGE animal lover. I've raised and sat many different pets. I've cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, frogs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and an opossum. I had a senior chihuahua that passed away in May 2026.

Aly and her Chihuahua, Vonnie, were so great with my 8 month old kitten, Pepper. Aly spent time playing with Pepper and sent photos/videos regularly. Highly recommend Aly!

My baby Hershey is obsessed with Aly!! I have a chihuahua mix and he gets the zoomies when she walks through the door bc she gives him unlimited booty scratchies lol

Aly has often pet sat for my rabbit, Noodles. She is the sweetest with him and theyve formed a bond over the years. She is always my go to when I'm going out of town and can't take Noodles with me.

Aly was awesome! She watched my two cats and hamster while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. My kitties were happy when I got back, and the hamster was happy and well looked after. She kept me updated and made the whole thing totally stress-free. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a quiet apartment. I am a homebody most nights. If I leave the apartment, I like to leave reggae music or reality tv (usually Real Housewives of NYC) on for the pets. I let the pets sleep with me in the bed if they prefer.

A typical day

I have an old couch, so I don't mind if the cats scratch my furniture, it is not a problem. I have a lot of window ledges and I keep the windows open.. the pets tend to enjoy sunbathing by the balcony doors.
