Pet care experience
I am a past dog trainer. I primarily trained with extremely shy or fearful dogs, or fear aggressive dogs. I am a person who loves animals of all kinds and am passionate about the care provided to any pets in my care. I currently own 2 dogs and 3 cats. I volunteer with a local shelter and dog sit often. I am very adept at reading dog body language, and make sure all dogs feel safe and comfortable in my home. All pets are allowed (if not encouraged) to be on the furniture with me or in the bed. I also work on basic training skills such as not bolting out the door when it opens, not pulling on the leash, and waiting until given a "release" for meals.
Reviews
Alyson watched our cat for a few days while we were away, and she did a great job! She kept us updated and sent great pictures. We would highly recommend her.
Alyson is super sweet and caring. She was able to stop in and check on our kitties before enjoying her own Thanksgiving. She sent us pictures of each kitty and one of those pics was of her petting one of the cats. :) Alyson also picked up our package on the porch and brought it in for us. I look forward to having Alyson take care of them over Christmas!
Alyson did a great job with my dog pepper. My pup is only a year old and she made sure to keep her entertained and exercised. She sent us updates and pictures which really put us at ease. This was our first time using rover and we were nervous but she did a great job! Definitely recommend her!
Alyson was awesome! She kept me updated throughout the stay, was very understanding and flexible with time and scheduling and she clearly has experience with dogs and managing behaviors. I can tell my puppy had a great time, and I would definitely recommend Alyson and call her again for help with my baby dog!

Information Alyson N. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, but I do need to know ahead of time if your pet is picky about other dogs or does not like cats.
A typical day
There are 3 parks within about a ten minute drive of my home, 2 of which are dog parks. I also do a lot of walking in the evenings.
