Teacher and Dog lover

Hello! I have been doing Rover since June 2016. My house is a ranch style house, I have two dog beds and a basket full of toys. I also volunteer for a few rescues around Charlotte and feel very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I will make sure your dog has all the love and attention he/she needs and plenty of exercise. I will provide photos and texts of your pup having fun! * as of June 2025, I have a female senior foster from ACC. I am working on trying to find her a forever home, but she is dog friendly and very quiet. I am gone from 6:45 am-3:45 pm, Monday through Friday for work.

My dog Winston has stayed with Allyson twice now and she has been nothing kind and accommodating to our needs. This past stay, I experienced travel delays and without hesitation, she offered to keep Winston as long as I needed and even met my roommate at our apartment to get extra food for his extended stay. I would recommend Allyson to anyone looking for a caring sitter who loves your dog and adjusts care as you and your pet need!

Allyson was amazing in taking care of our pup. She identified he didn’t seem to be feeling well and contacted us so we could arrange to get him to the vet. He then returned to her house where she gave him meds until we returned. So thankful to her for taking such good care of him!

Allyson is the best rover! So easy to communicate with, so flexible, and loves our dog Haze. We always feel comfortable leaving town when he stays with her and highly recommend her to other dog parents!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ll keep dogs on leashes at all times since my yard is only half fenced in. I also have a tree that I can put them on a long leash for some sunlight an extended time outside. When I leave I always separate dogs.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy running, so if it's a high energy dog I can take it for a run. My neighborhood is quiet and dog friendly so definitely walks around. And then Clanton Park is not too far either.
