About: I have taken care of my own pets and other people’s pets my whole life (25+ years). I grew up with a rescue sheltie named Kali and watched my neighbor’s cats as a kid. After high school, I attended Purdue University to get my B.S. in Animal Science and gained experience working with animals of all varieties (small, large, wildlife, laboratory, exotics). I became passionate about animal medicine and decided I wanted to go to veterinary school. I got into the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine after only three years of undergrad and have been studying there the last four years. Throughout my schooling, I have gained 8 years of training in various small animal clinics as well as the Purdue Small and Large Animal Hospitals. I am Fear Free Certified for dogs and cats and am comfortable working with any species of any size. I am able to provide quality medical care to any pet such as oral or injectable medications, subcutaneous fluids, monitoring heart rates, respiratory rates, mucous membranes, pulses, blood pressure, Libres, Holter-monitors, and other supportive care your pet may need. I have received extensive CPR training for dogs and cats and have worked with pets in any condition you can think of (geriatric, neonatal, critical condition, post-operatively, diabetics, Addison’s, hyper/hypothyroid, seizure dogs and cats, heart diseases, neurological disorders, non-ambulatory, etc.). You name it, I’ve probably seen it before! I currently have an adorable and loving beagle named Marshall who is a retired research dog. I also had a cat named Sylvie that I rescued in Ohio, but she passed away very recently. Let me know if you have any other species at your home that need attention! I love all pocket pets, birds, reptiles/amphibians, rabbits, and other exotic pets. I also love horses, pigs, llamas, alpacas, chickens, goats, cattle, sheep, and any other farm animal you might have on your property. I am currently a part-time student and have a flexible schedule. I can work with you to arrange what is best for you and your pet’s needs, and will ensure that my calendar is updated regularly with my availability. I will respect the safety and wishes of my clients in regards to caring for their pets in their households or while out on a walk. I believe that trust can be established by listening to a clients desires and goals and devoting myself to helping the client achieve them.
“We booked Allison for watching over our two cats while away on Spring Break. She took great care of them and provided updates on each visit she made along with pictures of our two furry family members. It made our travel that much more enjoyable knowing that our two cats were well taken care of and looked after. Will definitely use Allison again when we travel for an extended time.”
About: Have 10 years of experience of taking care of fish and chinchilla. I can understand mood of animals and adapt my behavior to their needs. I am available every day of the week any time because I am looking for a job as a software engineer. Graduated with Computer Science degree from Purdue University in May 2025. I read a lot of articles online how to take care of my pets and their needs and will do the same before meeting a new pet. This will help me to understand a pet better.
“Killian took good care of both our cats while we were gone for the week. He gave timely updates during the visits and worked with us to accommodate our specific timings. Cats loved him as well!”
“Giovanni did a good job taking my care our needy cats for a week. We came back to 5 healthy cats. He also continued to leave food out for the neighborhood cat that frequents our home.”
