Alston is amazing! He did a wonderful job taking care of our Aussiedoodle Oakley. He kept us posted and sent pictures of our boy. Our boy was already all over Mr. Alston being the big teddy bear that he is. Thank you for looking out for our boy you made our vacation travel so easy to know that he was being well taken care off. Thank you!

Alston took great care of my pup, Riley! When I brought Riley over, Alston’s pup and mine got along well. Instant friends! He sent photos daily as requested. When it was time for me to take Riley home, he walked away and sat down because he didn’t want to leave. Thank you, Alston, for taking care of my furbaby! Would love to have you take care of Riley again!

Alston was extremely accommodating. Our dog was on a special diet and Alston went out of his way to ensure that he had the proper food when it ran out before we returned home. He watched and took care of our dog during multiple storms and was extremely dependable. Would recommend Alston to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

I have known Alston for the past 3 years. During this time frame, he has shown to be a very reliable, animal-loving, trustworthy person. My husband and I love to travel, so our absence from home can be anywhere from one night to two weeks. Alston has voluntarily dog sat for our German Shepherd and Miniature Weiner dog for days at a time and I have never had any issues. He is a well-qualified individual with a passion for animals, it has reduced our anxiety/guilt tremendously when we are away from the dogs!

Alston is an Incredible hard worker. Does his best to lead by example and has a great work ethic. But not only is he a great worker he knows how to communicate well with people and maintain relationships with them. Always maintains a positive attitude as well. So he will definitely be a great dog care giver because he will do his best for the dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I always like to have a conversation with my clients beforehand when applicable. I feel the best way for this to work is to know each others expectations. I am very reasonable and all I want is for the process to go as smooth as possible on both ends. I want you to feel like your pets are in the best of hands. Any questions or concerns you have of me please do not hesitate to ask.

Pets

A typical day

As a pet sitter who understands the demands of a full-time job, my typical day involves balancing my work schedule with the needs of the dogs I'm caring for. I start the day with a brisk morning walk to ensure the dogs get some exercise and fresh air before I head off to work. Throughout the day, I make sure to check in on the dogs and provide plenty of water and healthy snacks to keep them energized and hydrated. When I have breaks or lunchtime, I take them out for a quick potty break or a short walk to break up their day. After work, I spend more quality time with the dogs, engaging in fun activities like fetch or working on basic training. I have a few favorite spots in the neighborhood for walks, but I also make sure to stay close to home and not venture too far in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Overall, my goal is to provide a comfortable and safe environment for the dogs while also accommodating the busy schedules of their owners.
