I try my best to accommodate your pets schedule, however during extreme weather events or busy holidays seasons, there may be delays. Fees (mainly by Rover) may also be added during holidays and inclement weather for driving.

Information Allyssa H. would like to know about your pet

I have two cats, so unfortunately I cannot care for a dog with a history of small animal aggression. This includes chasing as a form of play! Also, please let me know what would make your pet the most comfortable and I’d be happy to accommodate. Please let me know if you pet needs medication or has a rigid schedule so I can plan accordingly.

A typical day

My house has a great set up for you pup! There’s a huge, private yard in the front, a fenced in dog park to the side, and the back yard leads to miles of trails perfect for long walks and adventures. The house itself is pretty spacious, there’s tons of space to run around and plenty of areas to set up a dog bed or kennel so your pet can have a comfortable stay. It’s also completely situated for cats. I have endless amounts of cat toys, perches, and scratching posts. If your kitty isn’t too friendly with other felines, the space can be cordoned off into two 500 square feet areas so your cat can have its own peace and privacy :).

Caring for pets like they’re my own

Pet care experience

I’ve always had dogs growing up. From itty bitty terriers to giant German shepherd. Not only do I know how to take care of dogs, I also know why it’s important. Dogs are members of your family and I promise to treat them with the care and love they deserve. With over 10 years of experience, your dog will be in great hands. Please Read: I have two cats at home who are still getting used to dogs. Unfortunately, I will not be able to board or host day care for dogs who have no experience with cats, have small animal aggression, or who chase cats as “play”. Thank you for understanding.

I always appreciate Allyssa looking after Lily for me! She was so kind to help visit my cat while I was on a last-minute trip.
