About: I have worked for six different kennels around town, one animal shelter, and volunteered for a spay/neuter clinic. It’s more a question of “what kind of dog have I not experienced”? I specialize in working with groups of dogs; I thrive on movement. I have been in yards with over 100 dogs. I have converted the downstairs and back yard of my condo into a dog daycare; fully dog-proofed. Your dog(s) will be with me - and only me - all day; this is what I do. My number one goal is safety; fun is secondary. I have seen countless fights happen for countless reasons. I believe prevention is more important than intervention. I will not use affection as a reward. My affection is free for dogs. I correct dogs. Do I correct the wrong dog or the wrong thing? All the time, and I eventually learn. If your dog is about to start a fight, or is not listening, I will absolutely put my hands on your dog. I also use a salon grade spray bottle as a squirt gun. I grab tails and scruffs. I do takedowns. I do the same thing with my dogs. You might not like me, but your dog will I promise. That being said, out of all the dog fights I’ve ever intervened in, not once did I ever feel the need to punch or attack a dog. I don’t allow collars in daycare because they pose a safety issue. The harshest chemical I use is windex for the glass. For the rest of the cleaning I use Odoban.

About: About me: I have always been a dog lover since I was little and grew up always having dogs around. I currently have 2 dogs, ages 10 and 4 and I used to be a foster family for young puppies. I’ve had older dogs ages 17 and 18 so I understand that older dogs need extra attention and pampering and younger dogs need their daily exercise. My own dogs need daily medication and are on special diets so I'm experienced with dogs with extra needs. My love for dogs will guarantee that I treat your dogs as if they were my own! I work from home and can cater to your schedule whether it’s during the week or the weekend! Services I offer: Dog boarding - weekday and weekend out of my home Dog Daycare - weekday and weekend out of my home About my dogs: Misha - 10 year old Akita mix weighing 45 pounds. She is the sweetest dog I’ve ever had. During my foster days, she also helped with potty training the puppies. She is very friendly and social with other dogs and people. Obee - 4 year old pitbull mix. He is a little shy and takes a few minutes to warm up but after the initial introduction he is very friendly. Where you dogs will stay: I own a house with a securely fenced yard. During the day, your dog will have full access to the entire house and yard and they will be allowed on furniture if they like. All dogs will sleep in my bedroom at night either on their own bed or on my bed with me, whichever they prefer. Activities: My dogs enjoy napping on the couch and sunbathing in the backyard. Neither of them are super active. I can take your dogs on multiple daily walks or just let them enjoy a quiet day at home, whichever you prefer. I currently work from home so I’m home all day and will only be gone for short periods of time on weekends for errands. I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs. I have a securely fenced yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company. Dogs have full access to the entire house and are allowed on furniture and beds at my home but I can also crate them at night if it is preferred.

“Alyssa did an excellent job taking care of Yukon today. Communication was clear and timely, and it was obvious Yukon was comfortable and well cared for while he was with her. He came back happy and relaxed. I would absolutely book Alyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”

“Danielle was a fantastic sitter for Oreo! She was incredibly responsive and her home is perfectly set up for dogs - I loved seeing the protective sheets on the sofa, a dedicated water station, and a secure yard for roaming. ​She kept us updated with photo and messages while we were skiing, which we really appreciated. Oreo came home happy and even smelled great! It’s clear she takes excellent care of her guest dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again when we’re back in Reno!”

She carefully introduced our dog to the other dog in her care and the two pups had a good time playing. Our dog is shy and anxious with new people, but seemed to do well with Shawna.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy puppies to gentle senior pets, I provide personalized attention and compassionate care that makes your furry friend feel right at home. What sets me apart? I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and lots of playtime! I’m highly reliable, detail-oriented, and great at reading animal behavior. I also have experience with basic puppy training (crate training, leash walking, potty routines) and am gentle and attentive with senior pets who may need extra care, medication, or a slower pace. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. You can count on me for daily updates, open communication, and dependable service. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I work from home which means I’m able to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I build my routine around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I also enjoy being active, so daily walks and interactive play are not only fun for your pets—they’re part of what I love most about my day. Whether I’m caring for one pet or a few, I treat each visit or stay as a priority, making sure routines are followed and your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, routines, medication, and house rules. I make sure your pet stays safe, happy, and stress-free while keeping their routine as normal as possible. If caring for pets in my home, I ensure a clean, pet-friendly space with no toxic plants, loose cords, or unsafe areas. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of cozy spots to rest, and keep a peaceful vibe for cats and dogs alike. I only accept pets that are a good fit for my home setup, and I maintain a calm, quiet environment especially ideal for seniors, shy animals, or those needing extra care. You can expect regular updates, honest communication, and total dedication to your pet’s well-being while they’re with me.
