Pet care experience

Lots of love for your pup!

I will give your dog the care they need and the love they deserve! Growing up with dogs and now having my own dog, Oatmeal, I can assure you that your dogs will have great care. I am a runner and so I could run with your dog per your request. I would love to take care of any kind of dog! No breed preferences! I have taken care of dogs for 3 different co-workers, extended family, and multiple friends. The ages range from 1.5 years-11 years. I am looking forward to meeting you and your treasured friend! I do have a golden retriever of my own (fully house trained) that I worked with a dog trainer and learned lots of valuable skills to train.

Alysa and her husband and their dog oatmeal did such a great job watching our dog for a week while we were gone. He had so much fun and they made sure he had everything he needed

I 100% recommend Alysa!! She did an amazing job watching my high maintenance pup in her home while I was on vacation. She is incredibly kind, responsible, and my dog loved her. She followed all my instructions, including giving daily medications, to a T. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and her dog Oatmeal. I definitely recommend Alysa and would use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I am detail oriented and make sure to follow all care instructions. I am in the process of making my dog Oatmeal into a therapy dog. By working closely one-on-one with a trainer, I have skills and experience handling dogs in this manner.
