Alissa is one of the few people on the planet that I would trust with caring for my dog. She is responsible, loving, attentive, and knows how to keep dogs safe while making them happy. I have seen her with many, many dogs--of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. She is gentle and will never let a dog in her care out of her sight. I have had pet sitters that it turned out I could not trust, so I know how it feels to worry about your pet while you're on vacation or at work. That would never be the case with Alissa. She is the absolute best with dogs and I've never met a dog that didn't get along with her. Whether you need someone for short term or long term, daily walks or overnight stays, she is highly recommended.
