Love dogs and walking

Hi! My name is Alyson and I love dogs. I have had dogs for most of my life. My last dog (Pongo, pictured above) passed away from old age a little over a year ago. I still feel like it’s still too soon to get a new dog, as he was very special to me and I still haven’t quite recovered, so I'm excited to have new furry friends come to visit and play. I also don't have kids and lead a fairly quiet lifestyle. I am very active and love exercise, so your dog will get to work out its energy with me. I have a spacious dog-proofed house and a big yard that they can run in and also lots of toys for various sizes. Your dog will get lots of attention and petting and play. I have a flexible schedule and am able to give your dog my undivided attention. I also have experience with leash training.

Alyson was punctual and took great care of the dogs. They are a little unfriendly to strangers but she showed great patience and care to befriend them. Thank you!

Alyson did an outstanding job house-sitting for my dog and two cats. She was communicative throughout the entire stay, sending daily updates and photos so I always knew everyone was doing well and being cared for. She was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly great with animals, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, she left the house just as clean as I left it, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely trust Alyson to house-sit again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and professional.

Alyson watched our pup Dobby while we were out of town for the holidays. We appreciated the updates and photos, and the check-ins prior to the start and end of the sit to ensure a smooth house sit. We would use Alyson again!

Our dog was well taken care of. Alyson kept in touch each day with an update on how Raven was doing. And she also put her sheets in the wash before we got home. She was very considerate.
