Pet care experience
As an adolescent, I was the neighborhood pet sitter/dog walker. As an adult I've been the pet parent to 2 cats and 4 dogs. I also had a parrot, once upon a time, and we rescued and nursed back to health a stray kitten many years ago. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, I love spending more time with our dog and our homeschooled kids who are 8 and 11 and love animals as much as I do!
Reviews
We have two puppies and have never had to board them before, so we were very nervous going into this. But Alissa’s reviews were great and we decided to give it a go! And I’m so grateful for the reviews because our experience was just the same, wonderful. We got text and photos updates all the time and our girls clearly enjoyed their stay. We are looking forward to having a kind and trustworthy family to leave our puppies with in the future as needed!
Alissa and her loving family were amazing with Leo. They hand him exercise and so much love. She would send pictures and text us how he was doing. I highly recommend her as a sitter- just as long as it’s not when I need her❤️
Best dog sitters we have ever had!!! They treated our dogs like family. We were sent pictures, videos, and updates every day. We will definitely be sending our dogs here again!
Our dogs had a great time! Alissa sent multiple pictures and updates and took great care of our puppies!

Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced yard for when we want to be outside and also plenty of space to play inside when the weather isn't cooperating! We don't allow our dog to be outside without one of her humans for more than just potty breaks. If she's outside to play we're out there with her and would do the same for yours! Our own dog is allowed on all the furniture as well as our bed and yours would be a well (if that's your rule at home, of course!) we don't use a crate for our girl but have no problem doing so for you if that's a preference. We have two children who've been around dogs their entire lives and we have always instilled in them the idea that animals deserve space and respect - and continue to enforce that with them at all times. They both love animals and are very gentle and loving to all. Your furbaby will be treated like one of our own when they're here :-)

Information Alissa E. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors - if it’s not something I’m comfortable with or confident about I’ll be honest and upfront about that with you. We all want the best outcome and that is a happy and well-cared for pet while you’re away!
A typical day
I adore giving pets and snuggles as well as playing inside or out! We recently moved from the south metro area and are living exploring these more rural areas. There are great trails for walks everywhere!

I'm home full-time homeschooling my children and we love to get outside for walks or hikes -especially with a canine companion! We already have one small dog of our own so frequent potty breaks and playtime (and snuggles!) are already a part of our daily routine,
