Pet care experience
Dogs are my favorite people
As a wildlife biologist and veterinary student, animals are quite literally my life. I have extensive pet sitting, handling and animal medical training. I can handle large dogs and bully breeds very well!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alyson is such a delightful but also very professional person. My dog is madly in love with her. It is clear she is dedicated to her job and cares both for my dog and myself. Highly recommend her!
Needed a last minute sitter and Alyson delivered! Always reliable and our pup loves her!
Alyson has been amazing and we won’t hesitate to use her again to look after our cat and dog.
Alyson was a great communicator and made us feel comfortable with our sweet, yet big dog being around a stranger. This was the first time we left our dog in the care of a sitter and I can now put my mind at ease that we can continue to do this with a solid, responsible sitter as Alyson sent many pictures and updated us often. Our smoke alarm batteries died, our dog had an ear problem and our cats were being crazy and she let us know promptly about all of that. I know our dog loved going on walks with her and was able to play and be herself!
Alyson was amazing! She was so kind and her communication was great. My dog was happy with her and I know she treated him like her own. I look forward to booking her again!
Alyson sent multiple photos of our dog every day. She was so caring and walked her even more than we requested. We felt confident leaving our dog with her. She is very kind and knowledgeable. We are so happy we found her.

Schedule
I recently started veterinary school, so my schedule varies a bit now. However, I am still happy to provide walks in the mornings or evening. I am happy to give daily/weekly availability for boarding. I do also have multiple doggy doors in my home which provide plenty of access for your pup.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In your home: I treat every home with respect and care. My first priority is your pet and my second is your home. I will always leave it cleaner then I found it and will care for your home better than I care for my own. I will always ask for a list of rules/expectations that you need and will follow them 100%. Trust is my primary concern. In my home: I have one senior Labrador named Holly. She is very sweet and friendly with both other dogs and people. I have a fenced yard with doggy door access. My home belongs to my animals and thus they are allowed on all furniture and couches (unless you would like otherwise). I have a dog bed in every room and plenty of toys! While I am happy to walk or stay in your home with reactive dogs. I unfortunately will not have dogs with aggression in my home. Due to my dog Holly’s elderly age I will not risk her safety. Thank you for understanding.
Pets
A typical day
I am happy to walk, play, hike, or swim with your pups! I cater to your dogs needs, whether thats sitting at the park and people watching or going on a hike to really get their energy out!
