Information Alisa S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is currently being/already trained and thus has certain commands that I need to reinforce. Allergies, triggers, and medications is also helpful information.

I always tailor activities to the pets’ preference. If they are high energy, I am happy to take them on long walks. Or, if they are a couch potato, we can watch Netflix together.

Full Time Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was three years old I have been surrounded by animals. I have bred and raised dachshunds as a family hobby for 10 years! With this experience, I have developed a huge love for dogs and an intuitive feeling for what they need. I have helped deliver puppies, hand fed newborns, given vaccines, potty trained puppies, and done basic grooming. I can handle all sizes and all personalities of dogs. Furthermore, I can handle leash-pulling, high jumping, and excessive barking dogs. During my undergrad years in college, I worked at the university veterinary hospital in the ICU unit. I am currently located in Columbia, Missouri.

Alisa has been an amazing walker. Super reliable, attentive, happy to help, and super caring with our pets! She's been taking care of the pups for about a year and has done a fantastic job. Highly recommend!!

It was my first time using Rover, so I was a bit anxious. Alisa provided great care for my dogs while I was out of town. I came home to clean litter boxes and full water bowls.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
