Active couple will spoil your pup
Pet care experience
We moved to Baltimore from Washington state this year. We’ve previously made great friends and built relationships with wonderful families through dog sitting and are hoping to do the same here in Baltimore. The best way to describe me is "dogs love Alyson". And I love them. Whether it's jogging, playing tug of war, couch cuddling, or exploring hiking trails, I love spending time with dogs. All of the "discomforts" like slobber, stepping in poop, being covered in hair, and high-pitched barking don't phase me. I'm a dog person through and through. My fiancée, Taylor is from Kansas City originally and is excited to make Baltimore his new home. He is currently getting his masters in engineering at UMBC We still argue about who dogs love more (it’s me obviously), but he’s definitely the better running buddy and tug of war champ. It’s always fun for us to see who a dog prefers! Especially once they figure out who they can get more treats and cuddles from. Currently I work on weekends and am home during the work week. Taylor is home during the days so your pups will have plenty of attention. Our home is fully fenced and a single level so if your dog has mobility challenges there are limited stairs to navigate. We have experience with small dogs, large dogs, seniors, puppies, and special needs and love them all equally. We have our own pup Caramelle who has become dog selective in the past couple of years. Due to her behavior changes we have experience with BAT training and managing reactivity. We are open to boarding in our home on a case by case basis. Caramelle gets along well with balanced male dogs that like to run and wrestle. If your pup loves a good playmate-she’ll definitely tire them out. We live near an arboretum which is great for long quiet walks. We consider pups part of the family so that means all the furniture privileges. We try our best to honor schedules and commands so there is little disturbance to daily routines.
Reviews
Alyson and Taylor watched my dogs during my recent trip out of town. The care that they provided for the dogs far exceeded any possible expectations that I could have. I would recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation.
Alyson always does such an incredible job taking care of our cat and dog when we go out of town. She is prompt, very responsive, and leaves our home clean and tidy. We will always trust Alyson to housesit with our pets in the future.
Alyson and Taylor are great! They have watched my dogs, Honey and Oakley, a few times now and I always feel super comfortable and trust that my pups are in good hands. Taylor and Alyson are great about sending pictures and updates throughout their stay and are very thorough with making sure they are aware of everything needed to best care for my pups. I would recommend them to anyone!
Alyson and family were an absolute delight to work with, and pampered our girl as if she were their own! They even accommodated a last-minute boarding extension! We could not be more happy to have found such a loving couple to host our floof!

We never leave a pup alone for longer than they are accustomed to. We dog sit because we love spending time with dogs and want to spend as much time with them as possible.
