Loving, reliable animal care!
Pet care experience
**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!
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!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I have a small, outdoor, fenced off pen for quick potty breaks. I can also walk your dogs on our property or near it for them to get exercise. We have a large home so there is plenty of indoor space for the zoomies! And plenty of hiding places for the shyer types.

Information Alyson E. would like to know about your pet
Please indicate ahead of time if your dog needs any medications administered, or has any behavior issues, or is in need of special care. The better informed I am, the better prepared I can be to give the best care possible!
A typical day
I pretty much tailor your pet’s stay around their own individual needs. It’s hard to specify here a typical day when all my clients are individuals and require personalized care. I feed when they typically eat, give them exercise according to their needs. So in other words, I’m very flexible!

I am home during the day/evenings on most weekdays. I do work another job Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from about 6 to 11:30 p.m, however, my husband is home during those days/times. Weekends I am around most of the time. Daily errands are usually done on the weekends. Some weekends we do family outings. If that is the case I will always mark my calendar as unavailable.
