Lover of all pups!

Pet care experience

Busy with jobs, kids, responsibilities, or just want some time to yourself? I can help out! As a teacher, I have free time in the summer and on the weekends. I will take care of your dog(s) while you are away and allow you to take a break while being assured that not only is your dog in safe hands, but having fun too! I have always grown up with dogs. I grew up with Labs and an Alaskan Malamute. I had a Border Collie as my own and have previous experience dog sitting and dog walking. My fiance has an eleven year old Dachshund-Lab mix. She is handicapped due to having two back surgeries. I feel very comfortable taking her for walks, caring for her, and ensuring that she avoids steps and anything that might bother her back. I understand the importance of making sure your pup is taken very good care of. Your pup is part of your family, therefore his/her safety and well being are important! Being a very physically active individual, I absolutely love going for walks and runs so whatever you and your pup prefer, I am happy to accommodate! I feel very comfortable around any type of dog, even handicapped dogs, and I love all kinds! Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I grew up with dogs that I have always helped take care of. I have experience with both dog sitting and dog walking. I am experienced with feeding dogs, providing water, walking and taking dogs on runs, playing fetch, training a dog, bathing, applying medication and giving oral medications. I feel well experienced and able to take care of any type of dog! I am available to dog sit and walk or even run your dog(s). My schedule is very flexible. I would love the opportunity to watch your pup! My experience administering medication Yes, I have done so in the past.

Alissa did a wonderful job playing with and walking my Westie puppy! She is very thorough in her updates and was a pleasure to work with.

Alissa has been a friend of mine for about fifteen years. She is energetic, fun-loving and compassionate. These characteristics have made her a friend of dogs from the moment she meets them. Before she moved to Virginia, she would bring her dog, Guinness, to my house for play dates with my collies. She talked to all of the dogs as she played with them; her concern that each dog is happy and well-cared for is evident. She implements consistent behavioral techniques that improve the dog's behavior as she interacts with them. She demonstrated responsibility at a young age when she took care of our animals (which includes a variety, as we live on a farm) during our family vacation trips. Clients that allow Alissa the opportunity to care for their dogs will be blessed.

We have known Alissa and her family since she was 7 yrs old. Not only does Alissa have fondness for animals, but she has a tremendous heart. She has watched our Labrador before while we were on vacation and provided us with the peace of mind that Ellie was being well taken care of and exercised while we were gone. Alissa is responsible, thoughtful and goes above and beyond what she is asked. I would highly recommend her watching your dog!
