Dogs Are Family Too

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Alyssa. I'm a firm believer that dogs are family members. Just like your human family, I know that you want the highest quality of care for your four-legged family too! I dogsit for family and friends and have experience with many breeds, large and small, and I promise to be a caring and responsible companion for your dog. I'm more than happy to take your dog for a long walk, or bring them to a dog park nearby if they're in need of some socialization. If your dog is a total couch potato and needs cuddles and affection, I can do that too! Growing up, my parents each had at least two dogs at any given time, so I've already cared for and loved ten dogs! I helped train, bathe, feed, walk, and nurture each and every one of our fur babies. My family dogs have all been medium-to-large dogs (labs, huskies, a pitt/mix, and a shepherd/lab mix), but I truly love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I'm happy to answer and questions you may have, or set up a meet-and-greet.

This is the second time Turner has stayed with Alyssa and Bingo! Turner was in wonderful hands and I know he had a great time! Highly recommend!

Alyssa was so great watching Turner! She sent us lots of pictures and I felt like Turner was in good care here. Highly recommend!

This was my first time using Rover and Alyssa made the process for me and my dog smooth! Leaving my dog with some one new was definitely not the easiest but was really impressed with Alyssa - for example, my dog is reactive on leash and she was proactive and took treats on his daily walks to help keep his attention since he is very food motivated. She provided prompt updates while I was away, followed his care instructions, and asked a lot of good questions. Will definitely keep in mind for future boarding services!

Alyssa took great care of our Andy while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures every day which was so reassuring because he looked so happy and relaxed. Knowing our pup was comfortable also allowed us to stay happy and relaxed on our vacation! Thank you Alyssa - Andy is already looking forward to his next visit :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a pup of my own named Bingo. He is SUPER friendly with other dogs and LOVES to play. If your dog also loves to play, they'd be a match made in heaven. If your dog isn't a fan of young puppy energy, or doesn't get along well with other dogs in the house, it may not be a great fit. But let's chat about it! My 3-story condo building does have a lot of stairs and wood floors. So let's talk if your pup has trouble with stairs, has aging hips, or has trouble walking on hardwood floors. I've had past clients use grippy socks, but want to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable.
