Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and Experienced 🐾
Hi! I’m Aly, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for years. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. In 2020, my daughter and I completed volunteer training at SICSA Pet Adoption & Wellness Center in Dayton, Ohio. There, I gained experience with dog walking, kennel care, grooming, enrichment activities, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable while they waited for their forever homes. In 2021, I began volunteering and fostering with San Antonio Pets Alive! Through fostering, I provided full-time care for dogs and cats, including feeding, administering medications when needed, basic training, exercise, enrichment, socialization, and helping pets adjust to home life. I’ve also completed dog training and dog-handling classes, giving me confidence working with a variety of temperaments and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply needs a calm, dependable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care they deserve. Getting to know each animal’s unique personality is one of my greatest joys. I understand that every pet is different, and I believe they thrive with patience, kindness, and consistency. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I’ll always do my best to give you peace of mind through dependable care and regular updates.

Ratings and reviews
Alyson did an amazing job taking care of our two cats, Davinci and Snickers, while I was traveling for work. She communicated consistently and sent pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She made sure they were fed, their litter box was clean, and they always had fresh water in their fountain. She also brought in my mail and spent time playing with them. I’m very grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
Punctual and friendly. Great experience, thank you Aly!
Alyson was great! She was dependable, easy to work with, and (most importantly) our dogs loved her! Thanks for your help!
Another great experience! We love the photos and visit reports and can relax knowing the cats are being well cared for
Alyson was fantastic! She walked our dogs for a week while we were out on vacation. No mishaps and the dogs loved her. Will use again when we’re in town and need help! Definitely recommend.
Alyson was terrific with our cats. We really appreciated hearing how they were doing and getting pictures of them. Great at communicating, responsible, reliable, and cared about the critters, even getting the shy one to warm up and the grouchy one to play.
