Pet care experience

I will love your baby! like my own

My name is Alisa, I have cared for animals my entire life on a farm and in our beautiful home here in the town of port orchard. I have fur baby sat, many animals because I believe they are family not just animals. I think every animal should be treated with respect as we would a person. I have endless love to give and a warm clean comfortable place for your baby while you're away giving you peace of mind your baby is safe. I have complete open Communication so no worries, want an update day or night we can make that happen. I am a stay-at-home mom and military wife. I am available almost anytime. I can even accommodate in an emergency or in a pinch. I can work with holidays and work around challenging schedules. I have extra cages and bedding that are clean sanitized and ready. I cannot except a very sick dog or aggressive due to safety concerns. I can babysit cats; however, I have a large cage for them as well, a small little box is required to bring, love and cuddles are always happening, I just can't have them roaming the house. I require you bring your own food for your dog or cat. I can give baths; however, you are required to supply the soap for skin care needs of each animal. I will have a standard shampoo for emergency situations only. I want to assure you that your baby will be in good hands while you're gone. I will ask if you want to fill out an emergency contact form in case you are unreachable. Things to consider, I get a lot of questions on why I don't allow dogs to interact with other dogs unless it is a special circumstance. I care for a wide variety of breeds. This comes with a huge diversity of personalities; I cannot guarantee after one day or a few good minutes that the dogs will all get along, and something major won't happen like a (fight). I cannot risk anyone else's dogs getting hurt/sick while they are under my care. I also cannot risk myself, putting myself in harms ways to break up a fight. I do ask that while your pet is in my care he or she be in the cage while inside, aside from the rare exception this being a very elder dog. I do allow a healthy rotation of each dog to go outside with me and my daughter, during the early morning all the way until bedtime for them to have tons of play time outside. This is like almost every hour they get a turn outside, until bedtime and yes, I do get up and take them out in the middle of the night if need be. This also allows me to clean up feces in between dogs being outside. I care immensely for your dog's health and safety; I do hope you can understand this is for your pet's overall safety and mine. Thank you

Alisa was very helpful in taking care of my dog while we were away. She was very responsive and communicative about my dog. She went above and beyond to ensure he was taken care of!

Alisa has done a consistently great job taking care of our pooch. She sends updates and pictures, and takes note of even small issues that come up. Her post-stay summary is always informative. I trust her completely with our dog. Thanks Alisa!

Alisa was great, helped us when we had a last minute booking and was very responsive and easy to work with. Pickup and drop off was a breeze and Lucy was happy when we picked her up.

Pets

A typical day

I have very big cages that accommodate almost any size dog. The cage is sanitized completely it comes with a very big fleece blanket and then an ultra-soft one as well. I make sure everything is well sanitized between our fur guests to ensure the safety of your pet while in my care. I use eco-friendly environmental cleaning supplies to clean with to keep your babies safe. I also would like to add I have Mane and Tail shampoo, for an unexpected accident or muddy day. I would also like to add your baby will get: Walks, to play ball, snuggles of course, belly scratches, tug a war, water fun in the heat if that is a preference, and lots of outside yard time. If anything in this description is of concern or simply will not work for you or your pup, please reach out to me and we can always make changes. If any of my products are of concern again, please reach out so we can find a better alternative. Thank you!
