Pet care experience
I've been pet sitting and working with animals for 12 years. For a long period I owned my own business and then took time off of my own business to work at an emergency vet, dog daycare in a management setting, and pet stores. I have experience giving medications, fluids, and am very experienced in catching medical issues quickly. I have a four bedroom house on an acre and a half that is fully fenced. We live in a lovely neighborhood where going for walks or runs is very easy. My dogs are awesome with other dogs and they make a great playmate for dog friendly dogs. We do have an indoor cat so we ask your pet does well with cats too.
Reviews
Alyssa was amazing with our dog. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily. I highly recommend her!
Nala had a blast with Alyssa and her pups! Love that she communicate and send pictures of our girl. Definitely contacting Alyssa again for future doggy day care!
Alyssa was wonderful with my doodles, she made me feel comfortable and at ease while I was away for half the day. I loved the cute photos she sent. And I appreciate her patience with my doodle who is nervous. Thank you again for helping on such short notice, I will definitely use you again.
Alyssa was prompt, professional, and very dependable with my pack of 3 dogs. She took the time to come meet them and learn their routine, so that they were comfortable with her for the walk. The pictures she sent of their happiness put my mind and heart at ease while I was flying across the country. I highly recommend Alyssa, she will ensure that your four legged family is properly taken care of!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced acre and a half of space. We have lots of experience with nervous or shy pups and I understand home important it is that they have an area where they feel safe and comfortable. We have crates, and lots of dog beds so there are plenty of options for each pups individual needs.
Home
Information Alyssa C. would like to know about your pet
How does your dog do around other dogs? Are they crate trained or house trained? Any behavior concerns? I've worked with all breeds and behavior concerns are fine! I just like to know more about them first.
A typical day
My pups love to run off leash on our acre and a half of land! They also enjoy lots of walks in the neighborhood and sniffaries/ visits to the neighbors to smell their horses, goats, emus, etc. We love getting to have fun experiences with the dogs in our care including swimming, playing outside, wrestling with toys, and going for lots of fun walks!

Availability
Pet care is my full time job! Our normal routine is getting up around 7am for breakfast and playtime then we spend time around lunch (12-2pm) playing in our yard (fetch, wrestle with other dogs, etc.) then we relax out of the heat until it's time for dinner and an evening playtime or walk. Pups sleep in a variety of setups depending on their preference but they're welcome to sleep with us if it's allowed!
