Caring Dog Lover With A Yard
Pet care experience
Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. I have a deep affection for dogs and would feel privileged to provide the same level of care and love to your beloved companions as I would for my own. I have more than two decades of animal care experience, including pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family members. I have made more than 70 animal friends since I started offering my services on Rover more than a year and a half ago.
Reviews
Second time booking with Alissa for overnight stay. Would HIGHLY recommend. Archie was so excited to see her again and had the best weekend :) Excellent communication and great care.
Alissa was excellent! We got great updates every day and the communication was always prompt and helpful. Our pup had a great time and was treated to a great vacation. Will definitely rebook!
Alissa was amazing. She watched my pup at her house for 5 days. She was very communicative, sending detailed reports and pictures a couple of times a day. She handled my often quirky dog very professionally, and with care and compassion (including during a minor carpet accident during our meet and greet and a middle of the night potty wakeup). I highly recommend her!
Alissa did an amazing job as usual. We always feel so at ease leaving our dog with her. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
My top priority is ensuring the happiness and safety of the animals while also reassuring the client that their pet is well-cared for. To maintain a safe environment, I only board one or two dogs from the same family simultaneously. For those who are concerned about COVID-19, I am fully vaccinated and have received all booster shots recommended by the CDC.

A typical day
Please let me know what activities your pet enjoys most. I am happy to go the extra mile to make sure your pet is stimulated and having a great time. If welcomed by the animal, I will give them pets and belly scratches to help them feel loved while you’re away.

Availability
My husband and I primarily work remotely for nonprofits, allowing us to give a lot of attention to your dog. We have a 4-bedroom house with a fenced backyard that's ideal for energetic play and fetch. Your dog will undoubtedly feel like they are on vacation while you're away! My schedule is flexible, but I have to work around my full-time career. Please inquire to see if your needs and my availability align. (I open up my availability about one month in advance but feel free to reach out earlier and even if my calendar says I’m unavailable.)
