About Me
Hi, I’m Allison—but you can call me Ally! My lifelong passion for animals started from childhood, caring for everything from fish and guinea pigs to cats, hamsters and dogs. Throughout my journey, I've volunteered at animal shelters, worked in grooming salons and veterinary clinics, and even began my college education as an Animal Science/Pre-Veterinary Medicine major.
Though my primary career allows the flexibility of remote work, my deep-rooted dedication to animal care inspired me to join a local veterinary emergency clinic, where I've proudly served in a relief position for several years. Working at the ER clinic has allowed me to support pets and their families during their most challenging moments, further strengthening my passion and expertise in animal care. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in caring for geriatric pets and animals requiring medications or special accommodations.
My mission is straightforward: to give pet parents complete peace of mind by providing reliable, compassionate, and high-quality care. Each pet entrusted to me is treated as if they were my own—safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
Do you require a meet and greet to schedule services?
A: Yes, a meet and greet is required only for dogs for both in-home and drop-in visits. It is optional for all other species.
Do you have a fenced-in backyard?
A: Yes, my backyard is fenced. The fence height is 4ft so if your pup is a jumper, please include that information when booking so I can be sure to make a special note to do potty walks instead.
Is it required that pets are spayed/neutered?
A: For in-home pet sitting, female dogs older than 6 months are required to be spayed. I’m able to host intact males of all ages. I can also consider female dogs who aren’t spayed on a case-by-case basis with additional charges.
What vaccinations are required for in-home sitting and drop-in visits?
A: Rabies vaccinations are required for ALL dogs 6 months and older and cats that go outdoors. Bordetella is recommended for all dogs that will be staying at my home. DHPP (distemper/parvo) is strongly encouraged for all puppies 6 months and under.
Do you offer in-home pet sitting for rabbits and cats?
A: At this time, I only offer drop-in visits for rabbits due to limited space inside my home, and drop-in visits for cats due to allergies (I am also unsure how my dogs will react to cats).
Do you offer drop-in visits for species not listed on the website?
A: I do not offer any drop-in services for species other than those listed on the website at this time, but I do have plans to expand services to other animals in the future. Stay tuned!
Is your business insured?
A: Yes, I am bonded and fully insured.
What experience do you have working with animals?
A: I’ve worked with cats, dogs, pocket pets, and exotics (reptiles and birds) over the past 20 years. I have extensive knowledge in veterinary care along with experience in grooming (mainly dogs). I am comfortable administering medications although there is a medication administration charge for injectable medicine.
Do you offer grooming services for in-home pet sitting?
A: I don’t offer grooming services; however, I can provide a bath along with ear cleaning, nail trimming or grinding (if your pet tolerates it), and a sanitary shave as a complimentary service if requested.
How long will my pet be alone during in-home pet sitting?
A: I currently work full-time from home, so your pet will rarely ever be alone except for times I will be away doing drop-in visits (no more than an hour at a time at most).
What are some important things clients should know when booking with your company?
A: All pets are allowed on furniture and treated as though they are my own pet. I do not kennel my dogs, but I do have a couple of crates for dogs up to 30-40lbs if they are used to sleeping in one at night. I have plenty of toys, treats, beds, and blankets but I encourage you to bring any items that would make your pet’s stay feel more comfortable. Food is not provided and needs to be supplied. I utilize a visit report for drop-in visits so pet parents can know how the visit went. I also like to send picture updates as well.
