Pet care experience

I love animals and have taken care of animals almost my whole life. When I was young I grew up with bunnies, snakes, a dog, and cats. I also took care of neighborhood pets. I currently have 2 dogs: a large goofy lab mix and crazy pitty mix, a cat, and 3 chickens. I understand how important it is to be able to trust someone with your pets. I love to walk around the neighborhood, hike in the wood, even take dogs to the lake for some swimming. I am a teacher, which means I have summers off, as well as school breaks. I am available after school, weekends, and during school breaks. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages.

Not only did Alyson come drop in and walk/hang out with our cavapoo Lily for an hour for the first time, but she was kind enough to come to our house the day before so we could meet each other. Above and beyond really. She was so timely and competent, sent me some photos and it is obviously that she loves animals. Grateful.

Alyson took great care of my cat while I was gone! I appreciated the pictures and communication along the way.
