Safety, trust & environment

I always prefer a Meet & Greet for new clients in order to become acquainted with their pets. This also helps the dog become familiar with me and sets us up for success. I take precautions when entering and leaving both homes and yards so as to prevent any possibility of escape. Training in vet science and previous experience has helped me feel confident in administering dog first-aid as well.

Information Alysia S. would like to know about your pet

I always like to get an idea of your dog's routine so I can stick to it as much as possible. I'll request any medical information such as allergies, and if your dog is friendly with other animals (dogs/cats/squirrels/ducks/etc).

A typical day

I enjoy sharing in exploration with pets, which means plenty of walks! Furthermore, I dedicate time to one-on-one snuggles, playtime with toys, and would love to work on simple training too! A happy dog is my happy place!

Experienced & Loving Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a professional dog trainer and program manager with extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. I currently work as a Program Manager at Dogs Inc (formerly Southeastern Guide Dogs), where I help oversee and support the training of service dogs. I have many years of hands-on experience training and handling service dogs, as well as working in a boarding facility, an animal shelter, and a veterinary clinic. I’m comfortable managing everything from energetic puppies to senior and special-needs dogs, and I’m experienced with administering oral and injectable medications. Earlier in my career, I volunteered extensively in animal rescue, including fostering dogs and managing group play yards, which gave me strong skills in reading dog behavior, ensuring safety, and providing appropriate enrichment. I’ve also been a Puppy Raiser for service dogs and am confident using professional, positive training methods. I take a calm, structured, and compassionate approach to care and treat every dog as if they were my own. My priority is always your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m happy to answer any questions and tailor care to your dog’s individual needs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
