Navy Veteran former dog trainer.

Pet care experience

I was trained by the navy to train working dogs, since then i manage and maintained dog training programs for over 7 years. I took some time off due to having two kids but looking to get back to what i love, so I’m starting off slow with watching dogs. I am very trained in animal behavior & know what to do. You’re pets are safe with me. I am a stay at home mom of two boys. I have 3 friendly German shepherds who love to play or just lay on the couch all day. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I have plenty of room in my house for your dogs to have their own bedroom with a queen size bed or they can cuddle with me in my bed. Whatever your dog prefers.

Alissa is great!! I was so worried about my anxious, homebody dog but he did great with her. She sent lots of updates and I never felt like I was bothering her with questions. He was extremely calm when I picked him up which was a huge green flag to me. I’ve boarded Albert at a boarding facility in the past and he came home genuinely traumatized; it took him weeks to get back to himself. With Alissa, he was totally himself immediately. I’m so appreciative and can’t wait for more play dates/sleepovers.

Alissa is one of the best dog sitters I have ever used! She knows dogs and has treated mine with such love! The only downside is that you have to get your dog accustomed to not being spoiled anymore! My dog looks so happy in all of the pictures she sends! 1000/10 recommend!

Information Alissa T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you’re dog is not okay with other dogs, typically i can work on that. If not, i have ways to separate dogs and still give them that one on one time. If your dog is not good around Children please let me know.

A typical day

Mental stimulation is the best exercise for dogs no matter what age. Whether your dog is motivated by treats, verbal or physical praise, i know how to work dogs to tire them out. I encourage socializing dogs to learn how to interact with people. Lowes is my favorite place to take dogs on walks. It creates lots of different scenarios and it’s a great way to mentally tire them out as well as physical. Also, i have a great POA for dogs to walk by the water and play if you are comfortable.
