Hello! My name is Allysia and I have spent my entire life around animals of all shapes and sizes. There has never been a time in my life where I have not had a dog in my family, small or large. I have personal experience with dogs big and small, from Jack Russells to pitties and Belgian Malinois. I have spent the past three+ years working in the pet care industry and I have extensive training in cat and dog nutrition and well as basic dog training knowledge. I know how to handle everything from an upset stomach to allergic reactions and everything in between. Most importantly, I am a professional at spoiling pets! I am looking to spend my weekdays around what I love the most: animals. My previous experience allows me to understand the needs of many pets with different personalities. I have experience handling dog anxiety, understanding dog body language, training in reward-based positive reinforcement for dogs, and I have plenty of knowledge about nutrition. I am a conscientious pet owner who knows a lot about natural and holistic diets, and I am interested in many specifics about a multitude of dog breeds. ' What can I do for you? - Stop in while you are away to care for all of your pets by feeding them, giving them some exercise and time to potty, and keeping them company! - Practice tricks and cues that you have taught your dog and rewarding all good behavior! If you want, we can even learn something new :) - Walk your dog while being as safe as possible. - Leave your house as spotless as it was when I arrived, just with happier pets inside! - Pick up pet messes in the yard or outside as needed. At home, I have 3 cats and 2 rats of my own. They are all happy and spoiled. I have experience with all varieties of small pets as well as cats. I have no qualms about handling bugs to feed a reptile or amphibian. I love all animals, big and small. Hairy? Check. Long tail? Check. Eight legs? Why not! I have reliable transportation and I can't wait to get to know your cute dog! Let's schedule a "Meet & Greet" and see how it goes!
