About Alyson

I am a passionate canine enthusiast, with a natural spring in my step and a love for furry companions

Let me be your dog's second best friend, by providing personalized top-notch care and wag-worthy adventures. As a lifelong pet owner, and experience in dog training/handling, I am here to make you feel comfortable knowing your dog is in the best hands possible.

Now a few things about me and what services I am able to provide...

o Age: 31, Female 

o Occupation: Currently unemployed (hours are very flexible) 

o Where I am located: I live on the South end of Little India (closer to Orchard Rd). A well connected location, I am a stone’s throw away from the MRT (purple/blue line) making transportation easily accessible, and a 10-15 minute walk to dog friendly spaces (Fort Canning Park/Clark Quay)

o Included in my services: while my services are basic, they come with the utmost love and attention required for your pup!

Walking - my routes will range from 30 mins - 1 hour depending on time of day, location, and size of dog. I am always on the lookout for green spaces to run and play, as that is the reason we walk our dogs in the first place. I never leave the house without my “Marry Poppins” bag that has all the necessities I need: water, a compact rubber bowl, extra doggy bags for clean-up, organic dog treats from Scoop (I will not give to your dog before receiving an allergy list/ given permission), a couple tennis balls, and “paw towel” in case of any muddy accidents!

  • Grooming - happy to help with bathing/grooming of your dog for an additional $10 after a scheduled walk. Any additional bathing/grooming services will be held in your own homes after a walk return
  • Training - while I do not hold any specialized certification in dog training, I have the basic knowledge from my own personal experiences. With specific experience in training medium-large sized dogs (Labrador retrievers/golden retrievers), I have spent time taking care of friends dogs of all different sizes
  • House Visits - in addition to stopping by and making sure your pup has been well attended to, it is important to me that I treat your home like I would my own. Any plants that need watering? Hey, we live in Singapore…it’s hot out there! Happy to keep your plant babies alive. Were you in a rush on your way out and forgot to take out the trash? No need to come home to a stink, I’m your gal! I want you to be able to come home after a long day, and take a deep breath knowing that not only your dog but your home has been well taken care of
  • House Sitting - although my services are primarily dog walking/house visits, I am happy to offer this service only once I have established a relationship with both you and your dog. On the occasion I am asked to look after your dog while staying in your home, I will treat your home with the same level of respect as if it were my own. That being said, I like to keep a tidy house hold, where my mantra is to leave no footprint and respect any/all boundaries. I offer similar house upkeep services as I would a house visit (watering plants, collecting mail, taking out trash, etc). A typical 24 hour day with your pup will include 3 walks a day – early morning before breakfast, mid-day for some fresh air, followed by a late evening walk after dinner. I generally do not like to leave a dog alone for more than 2 hours. If you have a dog that is partial to separation anxiety, this time frame will of course be altered to provide the best care for your pooch. If you are comfortable with the idea of your dog interacting with other people and dogs, sometimes I will take them to the beach, the market, or a dog friendly café. These sort of details can be discussed upon booking

o Why I do this: I have always had a love for dogs as they were a huge part of my childhood. Growing up I lived in a house with 5 siblings….and yes, 3 of them were dogs! My dogs have always been my family. That love and appreciation for what a dog can bring into your life has made me a lover of looking out for our furry friends in return. In addition to the responsibilities that come with being a previous pet owner (crate/leash/behaviour training and handling) I spent a number of years volunteering at my local animal shelter where I offered my help with dog walking, dog grooming and administrative services. Finding joy in the little things in life through a dogs eyes has only continued to reinforce the old age line for me; give a dog your heart, and they will give you yours. 

Before committing to saying yes to a new furry friend, I am willing to make a house visit (free of charge by the choice of owner), in order to make sure both owner and dog feel comfortable. This is usually a short 10 minute visit, to establish a level of trust and connection between myself and your dog. If you are happy with the introduction, then we are ready to hit the leash running!

Experienced, reliable, and trust worthy - I am here to bring a smile to your dog’s face. As I always like to say, "a happy dog is a tired dog"!
