Pet care experience
Loving, reliable animal care!
Hi! I’m Alyson. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for animals. Personally, animals have been in my life since the day my parents brought me home from the hospital. Professionally, I have many years previous experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, Groomer and Pet Sitter. I have volunteered for the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter, as well as cat rescues. I currently volunteer with Wine Country Zoo. I am patient, observant, compassionate, efficient and reliable. I treat every pet in my care as if he/she were my own. I have extensive experience and specialize in the care and knowledge of cats, dogs and small exotic animals such as reptiles, amphibians, rodents, birds, arthropods, rabbits and fish. I also have quite a bit of experience with farm animals such as horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens. I also have over 5 years previous experience as a veterinary assistant. I am very comfortable administering medications, including Insulin injections. Having been around many veterinary appointments, emergencies and surgeries, I can easily recognize an urgent medical issue and stay calm throughout its duration. Nothing brings me joy like being with animals! Though I’d love to run up and bear hug every big dog and scoop up and kiss every small animal I see, I am very professional and contain my “kid in a candy store” level of excitement. I always remain calm and follow the animal’s lead upon all introductions. I am very intuitive to animal’s emotions, as well as highly observant and aware of their behavior. I look forward to meeting you and your amazing pets!

I do not have availability for boarding animals in my own home. I keep pets’ routines as close to their regular routines as possible while their owner is away.
Ratings and reviews
We have two dogs, ages 5 and 14, and a home to take care of, so lots to manage. This was our first get away since the pandemic, so we were a bit anxious leaving our dogs and home in the care of someone we had met once. Alyson did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and our home. Alyson is terrific with dogs. Both our dogs can be a bit to manage, but they took to Alyson quickly and had a great time with her. We highly recommend Alyson and we think our dogs do, too!
Alyson was great.
Took amazing care of my pug. Booked very last minute and she was able to accommodate. Polaris had lots of fun. Definitely recommend Alyson for anyone who needs a dog sitter.
Ziggy was well taken care of and we were very comfortable the whole time we were gone! Will definitely use Alyson again in the future!
I recommend Alyson to be a dog sitter for Rover. Alyson is reliable and conscientious. She loves dogs and all animals and has many pets herself. She is very experienced with all aspects of animal care and will take care of your pet like it is her own!
Alyson has been the most reliable dog sitter I’ve had yet. She took care of my french bulldog, Sally, and has taken great care of her when I was away. My fur-baby adores her! She will do amazing on rover 👍
