Pet care experience

Happy Paws Pet Sitting & Walking!

As an elementary teacher, I exhibit patience, responsibility, and a nurturing personality, which goes hand in hand with pet care. I am experienced in creating safe and positive environments while giving every child AND pet attention, kindness, and dependable care. I also own Shiba Inus, a breed known for being independent and stubborn, so I am very comfortable handling strong personalities, building trust, and providing consistent, loving care.

Safety, trust & environment

For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I provide exercise, attention, breaks, and positive interaction during the walk. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I can support them by feeding them, refilling water, giving bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and lots of affection. I also make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.

Alyssa is one of the most responsible, dependable, and loving people I know. Any pet in her care will receive plenty of attention and affection. The way she interacts with my own pets shows how nurturing and caring she is;. She treats all pets like they are her own.

As a teacher, Alyssa naturally brings kindness, structure, and patience into everything she does, including pet care. She is trustworthy, attentive, and treats every pet like part of the family.

Please let me know your pet’s about behavioral habits, triggers, favorite activities, and how they interact with other people or animals so I can provide the safest and most comfortable care possible. If possible, please let me know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, personality, energy level, and any medical needs ahead of time.
