Your Dog Will Feel Right At Home!

Pet care experience

I am a 28 year old female who lives at home with a 22 lb schnauzer mix, Tulah and a 30 lb mixed breed, Tigger! My partner also lives with me and has years of experience with dogs and many other animals. She is a 23 year old female (Michele). I grew up with many different types of animals, and have had a dog on my own for years now. We go to the dog park almost daily, enjoy long walks and hiking trips. Sometimes a trip to the lake for a swim is in order! My work schedule rotates throughout the year between night shifts and day shifts. When working nights I leave around 6:30PM and return home by 6AM. When working days I leave around 5:30AM and return home by 5 or 6PM. (check in with me to see when I am working as it could change in my industry at any time!)

Our little guy had an excellent stay with Alyssa and Tula. He received great attention and plenty of exercise. We will definitely use Alyssa again for a weekend away.

Alyssa was very accommodating of our last minute request and was absolutely wonderful. She was very active with our dog, taking her for walks and to the park etc..., and her dog is a total sweetie. Needless to say our dogs got along just fine and had a wonderful time playing together. She kept me updated the whole time we were away and sent lots of pictures. I will certainly use her again and would recommend her to anyone.

There are only a few people I trust in taking care of my dog while I am away on business other than Grandma and one of them is Alyssa. She takes care of my baby like it is her own. She always follows instructions and gives little updates so I know that my puppy is doing well. She goes above and beyond to make sure she is safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Alyssa as a caregiver for any puppy.

Information Alyssa W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know that your dog is comfortable with my dog's initial personality with new dogs. Tulah is a terrier mix, so she is very vocal/loud/hyper around most new dogs (some dogs, for whatever reason, she does not act like this at all! She seems to be an angel with them!) Some dogs take to Tulah very well, but if they are skiddish they could be afraid of her, in which case they may not be well suited to stay in our home with her. I do not have any breed preferences. I would need to know how comfortable your dog would be being left alone in our home (in case we needed to go out). Would your dog be fine left loose in the house? Would he/she need to be crated? If you would prefer your dog not be left alone at all during their stay, this can be arranged for weekend sittings.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks If your dog has a harness I would appreciate your dog having it with him/her for their stay, especially for walking times! We walk around all the neighborhoods in Quincy. There are beautiful neighborhoods close by. There are also MANY parks within a 10 minute drive from our place that are dog friendly for walks. One of the most popular which we love is Bear Cove Park. Beautiful views from the trails. We also have driven to Nantasket beach for nice walks along the boardwalk there. This is a 15 minute drive from my home as well. Please educate me on your dogs behavior while walking on a leash so we can plan out our walking trips more efficiently! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever your dog is most comfortable sleeping. Does he/she prefer to sleep in a crate? Tulah sleeps in our bed, and any new pups are welcome to join us if that's where they will be comfortable! Time I'll spend with your dog Monday-Friday I work all day. I do not expect anyone to have me puppy-sit if they are not comfortable with their dog being alone during the day while I am at work. If they could be loose in the house with Tulah and they got along well, I am sure they would tire themselves out while they were alone though! I do work 10 minutes from home so I could stop in during the day and make sure everything is OK! Once I am home from work (by 4:30/5PM) the rest of the evening is devoted to your baby! For Weekend Sittings (Friday evening to Sunday evening) I'm usually available 24/7 to spend with your pup. Time I'll spend with your dog For weekend sitting, I am generally available 24/7 for your pup! During the week, I do work Monday-Friday until 4:30/5PM. I am a 10 minute drive from work to home, so for homes close by I can arrange stopping by for a check up during the day! After work every minute is dedicated to your baby. Extra house-sitting services Yes. Please let me know what you need and we can arrange it.
