Hello, my name is Alyson and I love, love, love dogs. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers as well as smaller dogs like Yorkies, chihuahuas and Lhasa Apsos so I'm well versed in how best to communicate to different kinds of dogs. I recently adopted a Blue Heeler who is the love of my life. Her name is sonny and she is very sweet and calm (and LAZY). She is doing well around other dogs and has adjusted well. She's one happy pup! I have dog sat for various friends and co-workers over the past 10 years, successfully turning some of the grumpier pups into regular tail wagers and face-lickers! I'm very comfortable around most dogs (I have a soft spot for the larger breeds, but love the little guys too.) I know what it means to be punctual. I am always on time and I'm a professional. I will give your dog the attention they need while keeping their safety and health in top priority. I will easily adapt to your training methods for your pup. I'm gentle and loving and will give rewards willingly for good behavior and discipline (gently) when bad behavior is exhibited! I will take the dog on long walks but be mindful of their limits, keeping careful watch over him/ her the whole time. I will give your dog as much attention as they want- I love to play as much as they do! I have a full time job and work 9-5 on weekdays, otherwise I'm fairly free. It'd be my pleasure to get to hang out with your dog so you can do life knowing they are being well taken care of by a tried and true dog lover! :) (no cats allowed!)
