Dog sitter of your dreams!
Pet care experience
11/2023 update: I am currently accepting all types of in-house sitting requests! Please reach out if you need dog or house sitting at any time :) looking forward to meeting your pup! 1/2022 update: I am now accepting all types of pet care again! I am fully vaccinated and boosted, work from home, and have a house with a small yard. I am right by the Arboretum, which means lots of space and free time for your pup to exercise! I’m excited to have pet time again and help facilitate your needs! I am high-risk for COVID complications, so I will not be going to many places or introducing your pet to any new people or animals. Hi! I am Aly, I'm 28 years old and love dogs! I grew up hiking with my dogs and spending a lot of time on a farm. I live near the Arboretum and work in Belltown. A big goal of mine is to walk 10,000 steps a day, and I'd love for a dog to be a part of that! I love to take dogs for walks, throw a ball or stick, and snuggle if your dog is comfortable. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! There will always be a friendly and open attitude towards you and your pets. I'm not able to afford a dog of my own, sadly, so here I am on Rover, to earn some cash, help you out, and get some good dog energy in my life again! Please feel free to contact me if you have any specific questions. My Home: I rent a house in Madison Valley, near the Arboretum. I have a small fenced in yard and love throwing a ball or taking a pup outside while I garden. I have two roommates who are also dog lovers. We are very low-key, routine-based, and keep our socializing low because of the pandemic. We do not have other pets and will not bring other pets into the home while boarding your pup. I allow dogs to sleep in my room and will follow your instructions regarding crates, dog beds, and furniture access. My goal is to keep a similar routine so your dog knows what to expect. Your dog will never get “people food” or “table food” at my home, although I am happy to cook a sweet potato or something your dog enjoys if you’d allow it! I am happy to do a Meet & Greet, either masked in-house or over FaceTime. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Reviews
Aly has looked after our dog Lucy twice now. Lucy is a rescue with many issues, including separation anxiety and leash aggression and Aly has done an amazing job with her both times she watched her! We received updates and photos that helped us relax and showed us just how comfortable Lucy was with Aly throughout her stay. Aly really has been the perfect sitter for us!
Aly, Thank you so much to you for taking such good care of Oscar!! I loved having regular news of Oscar and seeing him feeling at ease in your environment thanks to your great pics. For sure Oscar will be back at your place!!!
Our nervous/shy pup had a great time and was very well cared for! Aly was very easy to work with and we appreciate how well she took care of Lucy!
We contacted Aly after an emergency with our other Rover sitter meant we could not leave our pup in the situation. Aly responded super quick and was wonderful with us coordinating a late night drop off. Her and her roommate were both lovely and took such good care of Queso! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with them, which was great after a stressful situation with the other sitter. We would definitely recommend Aly and would love to use her again!

Information Aly S. would like to know about your pet
I love labs and golden retrievers! All sizes and breeds are great to me! I prefer dogs that are polite on leash and responsive to commands.
A typical day
Lots of walks! My apartment has a dog park, but we will venture out and get some new scenery. I will take your dog to one of our lovely city parks! I can play tug of war, too.

Availability
I work from home and am a student, so my daily routine is incredibly flexible. I go for walks in between meetings and study on the fly. I am a UW employee and student, on campus for a few hours M/W/F! If your pet is okay being alone for a few hours or is crate trained, that’s great! If not, my schedule is a bit flexible and I may be able to stay home with them :)
