Graduate Student Here to Help!

Pet care experience

Responsible, dependable graduate student here with lots of animal experience! As the owner of a rescued dog with special needs, I realize that travel can be an especially stressful time for you and your dog. I'm here to make the trip a little bit easier for both of you, and to make sure your dog feels loved, calm, and entertained while you're away. I recently completed a B.Sc. in environmental science at Cornell University, where I have also completed several animal science and veterinary prerequisite courses. My family has always owned dogs, including a 70-lb doberman pinscher and, most recently, a rescued Wheaten-airedale mix. During the school year, I frequently rescue and foster animals of all sorts, including exotics, and voluntarily rehabilitate birds of prey, while traveling to educate others about these beautiful predators. **Please bear in mind that travel sitting rates are variable depending on how far away you live --Local pet sitting (dogs, cats, hedgehogs, parrots, snakes, other exotics) --Trained technician at CUNY Hunter College animal facilities --Pre-veterinary coursework --Wildlife rehabilitation experience --Farm animal experience

Alyson stayed over for 4 days and did a great job with my lhasopoo! Lots of walks and time together and pictures of how he was doing while I was gone. I could not have relaxed as much on vacation if anyone else ( even my kids) had taken care of him. I will definitely use her again! Extra bonus the house looked better then when I left!

Alyson was super accommodating and very welcoming to my two pups. I was able to drop them off late and pick up early according to my flights. The house and yard were perfect for them as they had plenty of room to roam. She also took them on some very long walks which was good since I do the same. Although I was nervous at first Alyson put me at ease and I rest assured that Penny and Buck where in good hands. I would definitely book with Alyson for any future trips out of town.

Alyson took wonderful care of our Jojo. He was in great spirits when we picked him up. We give Alyson our highest recommendation and would absolutely use her again.
