**I have 3 cats, a small dog, and a 2 year old child** please only inquire for services in my home (boarding/day care) if your pet has experience and a calm demeanor with cats, small dogs and toddlers. Thank you! 🙂 Hi! I’m Alyson. I have over 30 years 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 am patient, observant, efficient and reliable. I treat every pet in my care as if he/she were my own. I have extensive experience in the care and knowledge of horses, chickens, dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, exotic birds, rabbits, mice, hamsters, hedgehogs, rats and fish. 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 it’s 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!
