Safety, trust & environment

I do not have dogs at my own house due to having 3 dogs already and don’t want to compromise their territory dynamics as one is a newer rescue and she needs a lot more work before we can open our own home. If you need check ins to let your pup out during the day, multiple days in a row, over nights, exercise, and basic training, etc. Happy to talk about what you need for your specific dog and situation.

Information Alyson K. would like to know about your pet

Leash capabilities, good with other dogs, physical or dietary restriction's. Note if your dog has past trauma, triggers and if your pet is good with kids. If your dog is potty trained and knows basic commands. Any social anxiety triggers are great to know ahead of time. This ensures nothing but happy (and exhausted) pups will be waiting for you to come home!

A typical day

Interacting with dogs is by far one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy taking dogs on (and eventually off) leash hiking, swimming, long walks of back roads, and fully utilizing their energy to the fullest. For smaller dogs or dogs that do not require as much physical attention, we can switch gears and do indoor hunting games, mental stimulation activities, and belly rubs for hours! Happy to hose (or bath for additional fee) your pup if we get to muddy or dirty in the elements.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alyson and I have been living and caring for dogs for over 18 years. I have 3 large breed dogs myself and enjoy all shape and sized dogs. I have cared for huskies (highly energetic and intelligent) , “bully breeds”, rescues, and more. I enjoy walking dogs off the beaten path. I often take dogs to explore mountains, rivers, streams, and lakes. I can walk up to 3 dogs on lease at a time, and can take your dog on one long walk, a few short walks, or just a pop by to check in and let out. Flexible with days and times. I am available more than noted so if you are looking for a specific time or day and don’t see it available, please reach out for. Can pick up and drop off for day camp walks and hikes.

Alyson was amazing with three dogs!! She took them on walks every day and they were so happy when I returned from my trip. She even left a very nice note that my daughter loved. Absolutely fantastic experience. Thank you Alyson!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
