Pet care experience

I love dogs!

I grew up on a farm and have been around animals all my life, but dogs are my favorite! I got my first dog when I was about 5 years old and have loved them ever since. I know it's stressful for a dog to be away from home and in a new place, so I'll do everything I can to make their stay as low stress as possible. Whether that means extra cuddles to reassure them, or having a quiet space to retreat to, I want them to be content and comfortable in my home. I don't have any experience giving injectable medicine, but I'm very adept at administering oral meds. I work from home full time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your furbaby. I already take my dog on walks every day so it won't be a problem taking yours along too. I have a huge fenced back yard with partial forest for your dog to play in and explore. I can also take your pup on walks to explore our neighborhood. I have a friendly golden doodle who loves meeting other dogs. He will love being buddies with your dog! My son is also very gentle with dogs and knows when to give them their space.

Alissa was the perfect match for our doodle. Zoey loves playing with Alissa's dog and had a great time in the backyard. Alissa is flexible, kind and took great care of our dog. We will be using her again soon!

She treated my mochi boy so well and sent regular updates. We had a great experience.

Alissa was great for boarding over the holidays. Very communicative and lots of pictures. Would definitely board with her again!

Thank you so much, Alissa! The pups absolutely loved being there, and we really appreciated the daily pictures and your prompt responses to all our messages while we were away. We’ll definitely book you again when we’re on our next trip.

I work from home full time so am around all day to let your dog outside or play with them occasionally if needed. I separate dogs when feeding to keep everyone safe.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced back yard that has a partial forest that dogs love to explore. Sometimes I take breaks from work to walk with them through the forest. I will send photos every day so you can see how your pup is doing.

A typical day

My back yard is about a half acre of fenced yard and woods, so your dog will have plenty of space to explore and run around. I also have a golden doodle who loves to play with other dogs. I can also take your dog on daily walks.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Are they high energy? Do they have separation anxiety, and will they need some extra TLC?
