Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Loving Care
I have over a year of hands-on experience working in an animal shelter and previously worked at a dog daycare facility for a year. In both settings, I cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, including shy, high-energy, and special-needs pets. I have also volunteered with animals for 3 years and grew up in a home with both dogs and cats. I currently have 2 cats and a mini pig, so I understand the importance of routine, enrichment, and individualized care. My background has taught me how to: - Safely handle dogs in different environments - Recognize stress signals and behavior cues - Administer basic care and follow detailed instructions - Provide calm, patient care for anxious pets Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my priority.

Ratings and reviews
Alyssa did an amazing job watching our 2 Anatolian Shepherds and goats while we were on vacation. She was on time everyday and took great care of the animals. She also picked up packages when we didn't even ask her too. We will definitely use her again and will recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Alyssa is absolutely lovely! She was so accommodating and flexible with the meet and greet and spent a lot of time getting to know our dogs, particularly our newest little rescue that's working through some fear issues, prior to coming for a home visit. It's obvious that she places a lot of importance on making sure the dogs felt comfortable with her prior to taking care of them and she went out of her way to help Lyla continue making progress in feeling safe. She handled my big, exuberant boys with ease and genuine affection while also being gentle and quiet with Lyla. During our meet and greet, she was more than happy to learn about the quirks of each dog and when asked, provided genuine and thoughtful suggestions about fearful rescues, including specific things she would do during her home visit. She was prompt on her timing and provided updates and pictures of her time with the dogs, accommodating a last-minute request for a medication administration. She's a joy to work with, communicates very well and promptly and all of my dogs love her. I'm so lucky to have found her and look forward to having her back.
Alyssa is a true animal lover. And animals love her. She knows when to play or cuddle or when to redirect unwanted behavior. She is gentle yet firm. Animals know they can trust her. Whether it's play time with a new puppy or reinforcing commands with a younger dog or just a stroll about the neighborhood with the resident grumpy old guy, Alyssa is the one to rely on!
Great drop in visits. Played with him, made sure he had water And plenty of exercise to wear him out. Sent lots of pictures
