Responsible, flexible, active
Pet care experience
Alyson: - I took care of my family labrador growing up. - I participate in weekly dog-walking/hiking events (hosted by Wood River Valley Animal Shelter). - I love animals but travel too frequently to adopt, so I will treat your dogs like my own. - I'm flexible and up for any challenge. If you have other pets or cleaning needs, I'd be more than happy to help you with those as well. - I'm a responsible person, and you can trust me to do a good job. - My aunt, several neighbors, and my best friends all have shelter dogs, so I'm aware of special conditions and would be happy to accommodate. - The family I used to nanny for has a hunting lab, so I have experience tweaking normal amounts of discipline and play in order to help hunting dogs learn to bite softly and follow specific commands.
Reviews
Alyson (and her boyfriend David) are fabulous. I have used them twice now and each time, I came home to a very happy Golden Retriever and Siamese cat. It's so nice to be able to go on vacation and leave your pets and home in responsible and caring hands. I will definitely call Alyson again.
My little Misha is a 15 yr old Yorkie who's losing his sight and his hearing with a bit of anxiety and confusion setting in. So, as you can imagine, I was concerned about finding just the right sitter for him. Alyson, was amazing. She was gentle, patient, and so understanding. I got photos from her during my trip with comments about how Misha was doing. She was also quick to respond with thorough explanations or responses whenever I emailed or texted her. I'm looking forward to having her back the next time I need a sitter. I would highly recommend Alyson!
Alyson is an incredibly caring, genuine, and trustworthy person. She is a true animal lover, will care for your furry loved ones like they're her own, and she's extremely reliable and responsible. Alyson and I have been good friends, classmates, and roommates and I have been constantly impressed by how honestly compassionate and dependable she is in every part of her life. There's no one I'd rather have caring for my pups!
I am thrilled at the idea of Aly and David getting the chance to care for furry friends (and their homes)! Aly and David they are kind, gentle people with adventurous spirits and huge hearts for animals of all shapes and sizes, but especially dogs. Aly, having grown up with a black lab named Maddy, is familiar with the needs of dogs at any age. Aly has expressed to me on many occasions her desire to reestablish connection with dogs after losing Maddy to old age just over a year ago. From what I know of Aly and David, they would love to have a dog (or two) of their own, but their current circumstances would not accommodate the long-term needs of a dog. They have already exhibited an interest in caring for dogs on a short-term basis. Aly and David have participated in the programming of an animal shelter that allows dog-lovers to take shelter dogs on day-long adventures. I am confident this couple will care for anyone’s dog as if it were their own and would whole-heartedly trust them with a dog of my own. I also highly recommend Aly and David for the role of caring for others’ homes. They are trust-worthy individuals who are sensitive to the desires and needs of their community members.

I love walking along Elliot Bay Trail and through Discovery Park. If swimming is okay for your dog I'd love to take them to Greenlake.
