Pet care experience
Have a special needs pet?
Hi! I’m a full-time nursing student (1 month away from taking my NCLEX) with a lifelong passion for caring for both people and animals. I’m currently working toward my next round of nursing prerequisites, and pet sitting allows me to do something I truly enjoy while helping fund my education. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for three dogs, two cats, two guinea pigs, a hamster, and a rat throughout my life. Every one of them has been a beloved member of my family. My current dog has epilepsy, so I understand firsthand the extra attention and consistency that pets with medical conditions need. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those with higher care needs. I’ve administered insulin injections to diabetic dogs and am familiar with many common pet medications, as a lot of them are very similar to human meds(although I do understand that there are many differences) so I’m confident following medication schedules exactly as instructed by your veterinarian. As a nursing student, being attentive, organized, and calm under pressure comes naturally to me. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m happy to administer medications, provide basic medical care as instructed, prepare meals, refill water, clean up after pets, scoop litter boxes, and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I love spending quality time playing, cuddling, and taking dogs on walks or engaging them in activities they enjoy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and needs. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make your time away as comfortable as possible for both you and your furry family member.
Ratings and reviews
Our puppies love to see Alyson when she visit. She loves on them and plays with them when she is here. They are always excited to spend time with her. We highly recommend Alyson and will definitely have her visit our puppies again.
I’ve known Aly for years, and I would trust her with any animal, especially pets with medical or behavioral needs. She has an incredible amount of patience and takes the time to understand each animal’s individual personality and requirements. I’ve seen how attentive she is with medications, special diets, and keeping a close eye on any changes in a pet’s behavior or health. She never cuts corners and genuinely treats every animal as if it were her own. Her calm demeanor helps anxious pets feel comfortable, and she’s always willing to go the extra mile to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their pet.

Schedule
I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with the exception of Tuesdays, when I’m in class from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This schedule allows me to provide reliable care before work, in the afternoons, evenings, overnight, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate morning potty breaks, afternoon walks, dinner visits, medication administration, evening drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. If your pet has a consistent routine or specific medical needs, I’m committed to following their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. If you have any questions about my availability or your pet’s specific needs, I’d be happy to discuss a schedule that works for both of us!
