Loving pet care

Pet care experience

Loving and responsible pet care in our home. We have been taking care of dogs for over 17 years in our home. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat. We have had long-term, short-term and overnight clients and have provided care for pets with special needs (medication, diet restrictions). All animals are treated as part of the family, no crating is necessary. An adult is home most of every day. We have also provided transportation during stays to veterinarians, (physical therapy at the UofM Vet School) and dog groomers. We are conveniently located in the Uptown area with a fenced in backyard. Hope to see you and your pet soon!

Alyson is amazing! She took care of our Daisy like one of her own. It brought us so much comfort to have our girl be with Alyson. We knew she was in great hands. And getting updates and pictures from Alyson were extra special bonuses. We'd recommend Alyson to anyone and everyone and absolutely will use her again if we find that we need dog sitting care!

One of the best I have yet to work with. Alyson was so wonderful and treated my dogs like her own. She was such a loving and caring person. I know my dogs are in good hands with her!! Highly recommend.

Information Alyson Z. would like to know about your pet

I like to know personality traits. Special diets and any health issues. Sleeping habits and how they like to play and if they are ok with other pets.

A typical day

If okay with the owner, we like to go to the Lake of the Isles dog park. (all dogs need a license to enter) Or, we can walk around the neighbor hood and up to Painter Park.
