Highlights
Pet care experience
Some call me The Dog Whisperer
Animals have always been the light of my life! I grew up with dogs as a kid, a Cairn Terrier and a giant baby Doberman. Caring for them has always felt second nature to me. My love for dogs grew even deeper when I moved to Maui and helped co-parent three-spirited French bulldogs. I took on everything—walks on the beach, feeding, bathing, playtime, extra cuddles and yes, even listening to their adorable snores at night! Beyond my own crew which was our Buddy who was a German Pincher, if you know this breed they’re more than a handful and now I have my lovely long haired German Shepard. I've cared for many friends' dogs while they traveled, handling everything from short daily visits to multi-week stays. I know how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, and in their routines while you’re away. Clients tell me their dogs warm up to me quickly, sensing my calm, affectionate approach. I treat every animal like family, because that’s what they are. If you want someone who genuinely loves caring for dogs, pays attention to their individual needs, and provides reliable, thoughtful service, I'm your person!

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s well-being is my absolute priority. I aim to create a fun, secure environment where your dog(s) feels at ease and cared for! I keep a close eye on them at all times and make sure they're safe, and comfortable whether we're relaxing at home or out for a walk. I’m committed to giving them the exercise and play time that they need —I'm always ready for a long game of fetch to tire them out! ( I have an A+ in throwing balls for dogs who are obsessed) I want every pet in my care to feel happy, loved, and completely at home.
Ratings and reviews
The BEST dog sitter! So many updates, pictures shared with the the humans, well providing ALL the love and cuddles to my pups. I’ve never seen my dogs smile so much while we’ve been away. They had toys, walks, cuddles, treats, and so much more! Aly was absolutely amazing and my dogs were in love with her!
Alyson is amazing!! She stayed overnight at our house and watched our pitbull Rainbow. She is so kind, sent tons of pics and took excellent care of both Rainbow and our home. Definitely recommend and hope to have her watch Rainbow again soon!
Awesome even when plans changed!!
Alyson was awesome! She stayed with our two pups in our house and provided frequent pictures and updates. Our dogs were clearly happy and loved. She even went the extra mile and stayed longer than originally planned as our travels plans delayed us slightly. We will absolutely hire her again! Thanks girl!
Alyson was great with Axel, she took him on walks and spent lots of time with him. She did a great job of keeping us updated while we were away. I will 100% choose her to watch Axel again!
Aly was wonderful with our crazy crew. We have 3 xlarge pups and 2 cats. Unfortunately, right before we left to attend an event for our adult son, one of our xlarge pups had a severe reaction to a medication. Less than a week after our visit to the local ER vet, we had to leave and she was still on several medications. Aly made sure her meds were given and provided her and the rest of our furry friends lots of love and snuggles. Aly sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on all of them. We are very thankful for the care and compassion she showed them (and us).

I just moved to St.Petersburg from Michigan where I was working as a doggy day care attendant / trainer. My schedule is quite open for all your puppy needs!
