About
Hi! I’m Alison — a professional, insured pet sitter serving Farragut and surrounding Knoxville areas.
I provide structured, dependable in-home pet care with a nurturing approach. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible.
I have experience with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to seniors — and I am especially comfortable with high-energy and working breeds (I have an Australian Shepherd of my own). I understand the importance of enrichment, structure, and consistency.
I am Dog CPR certified and fully insured. I follow care instructions carefully and communicate clearly so you feel confident while you're away.
Services offered include:
• 30 & 60 minute visits
• Extended care blocks
• Overnight house sitting
• Multi-pet households
• Daycare pickup/transportation when needed
Meet & greets are encouraged to ensure we’re the right fit for one another.
I look forward to connecting and caring for your pets as if they were my own.

I am so thankful to have found Alison! She is absolutely wonderful with my dogs and they instantly took to her. It is such a relief to be out of town and know your fur babies are in good hands.

Alison is an amazing professional! She took such good care of our dogs while we were out of town and they love her. She sent updates with photos every day so we would know how they were. Her kindness has made her an instant friend. I would not want anyone else taking care of my dogs.

Alison took great care of my dogs. They were very happy to see her each time she came over. She was always punctual and sent me pictures of my dogs at each visit. I will definitely be using her again!

Alison took great care of my two kitties over a long weekend recently. She is very professional and her love for animals comes through upon meeting her for the first time. I felt so comfortable leaving town while she was looking in on them while I was away. The pictures she sent to me during her daily visits, let me know my pets absolutely adore her! I highly recommend Alison as a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have structured base rates for 30 and 60 minute visits, with extended care and overnight options available. Pricing may vary based on number of pets, level of care needed, travel distance and transportation requests. I’m happy to provide a clear quote after discussing your household’s specific needs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process begins with a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit for both your pet and your household. We’ll review routines, expectations, and any special care instructions. Once availability is confirmed, services are scheduled and clearly outlined so everyone feels prepared and comfortable.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am Dog CPR certified and insured. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I am comfortable administering medications and maintaining structured routines for pets of varying energy levels and needs.
