“Alma is absolutely great! We met Alma through another dog friend in the neighborhood and I immediately could tell Alma “knows dogs”. She has been so patient and upbeat when interacting with Piper (who can be a little bit of handful or a little dramatic) who comes from an abused past.”
“Robyn is just awesome. She’s here on time, always excited to see my puppy, communicates if he’s doing well, tired, and best of all my pup is excited to see her. Great job!”
“Dorothy is one of those rare walkers who takes great pride and personal responsibility in her dog walking. She treated our puppies with respect, and always made sure that they got the attention and care that they needed. We look so forward to having her take care of our dogs again!”
“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Sara was very professional, responsive, and seems to have a lot of experience! She met me and my dog before taking us on as clients, which made me feel super comfortable trusting her with my baby. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello there! My name is Alyssa Murphy, Aly for short. I myself, have been a dog owner of an adorable malti-pin named Cobi, for 9 years now. I have also owned two cats beforehand and raised abandoned kittens to health, ensuring they were going to proper homes that would appreciate and take care of them. How does this relate to you? Well, I will guarantee to be that same type of home I would of chose for those rescued kittens. That home-away-from-home for your pup, the home I would look for if I needed a dog sitter. No matter if he/she likes to jump around and play, or just likes to relax on the couch, I’m the girl for the job. Your pup will feel highly appreciated and taken care of at the end of the day, and so will you! Any inquires, please feel free to message. P.S. here’s my promo code :) : ALYSSM29530 *I also know how important it is to remain safe and clean during these times, I will make sure to clean and disinfect everything in my home your dog(s) will encounter.* I’m currently working full time and have part time classes online, so I have a few free days (Thursday afternoons, all day Fridays, Saturday nights and all day Sunday-Monday) to take care of your best friend! My house is always kept clean and tidy. Since I have a dog myself (that likes to get into things) there isn’t much left out for him to grab. I live on my own, so I can also adjust according to your pet. I’m always willing to play, walk, and give attention as much as needed/wanted!
“Jamie was awesome with our dog! She’s extremely detail oriented, conscientious, timely and really oriented around his well being. We’d love to have her help again in the future!”
“Marissa is always so good with Zeke. They enjoy when they are able to spend time together. She goes the extra mile to make sure he has everything he needs. We appreciate all her help!”
“We are blessed to have found Annie. Reliable, responsible, sweet to our dog. We can’t wait to have her next week for overnights when we are out of town. She is giving us piece of mind knowing our puppy is with someone like her.”

“Autumn was amazing! She came on time and our pup really seemed to like her! She was very communicative so we always knew what was going on! She even refreshed our puppy’s water because it was warm even though all she had to do was take her on a walk. We really appreciated that, and I am sure our Lexie did too! Thanks Autumn for doing such a great job! We definitely recommend Autumn and will be using her services in the future! ?”

Alyssa M.
“As a fellow dog owner and lover, Alyssa always portrays the upmost responsibility and attentiveness in her care for animals. Whenever her dog, Cobi, is around new company she always prioritizes that he feels safe and comfortable, even with the difficulties that come with trusting foreign connections. In all the years that I have known Alyssa, whenever Cobi came down with an illness or infection, she immediately ensured Cobi received the proper care he needed, even if it meant cancelling work or sacrificing a day of classes. Alyssa's love for animals further extends to her multiple attempts to transition to a more vegan friendly diet despite her iron deficiency preventing her from making a full transition. I could honestly name an endless amount of reasons why Alyssa perfectly reflects the ideals of a loving dog caregiver and even more so, the ideals of an amazing human being.”
