Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Home Away From Home

With a lifetime of love for animals, I’ve been raised in a home where dogs were cherished family members. I’ve trained puppies from the ground up, teaching them essential commands and proper behavior while nurturing their unique personalities. Over the years, I’ve become the trusted caretaker for friends and family when they travel, gaining hands on experience with a diverse range of breeds - from energetic Border Collies to gentle Labs, and everything in between. My experience spans different temperaments, special needs, and care requirements, ensuring your beloved pat receives the same dedicated attention they enjoy at home. When you’re away, rest easy knowing your companion is in experienced, caring hands.

Alyssa did a great job at watching over our dog! She was communicative and attentive and seemed like our dog had no issues staying the night. I would recommend her for anyone needing a sitter!

The Best of the Bestest of the Best Best! Hands down, a total life savior! I had a last minute emergency and needed someone to care for my dog, and she responded immediately with warmth, professionalism, and zero hesitation. Their timely response alone eased so much stress, and once I saw how happy and comfortable my pet was, I knew I’d found the best.

Alyssa was amazing with Ollie. She is commutative, caring, and genuinely loves dogs. She kept me posted with Ollie’s update during her stay. Highly recommend:) Thank you Alyssa!

Alyssa has watched both of my childhood dogs plentiful of times and was extremely reliable, punctual and very attentive to any needs or wants you may have. She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and keeping me updated while I was gone with pictures and updates. It can be really difficult to find reliable and trustworthy people especially to watch your other family member, but Alyssa has been flawless and I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Schedule

I balance pet care seamlessly with my professional life, taking advantage of my flexible work arrangement. Working from home 3 days a week allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, including regular walks, playtime and monitoring. On office days, I’m available for morning care before work and dedicate my evenings after 5pm to ensure pets receive proper exercise, feeding and companionship. Weekends are fully open for boarding services, offering round the clock attention to your furry family members. My remote work setup means I can take quick breaks for pet check ins and outdoor time. This arrangement provides the perfect balance - I’m professionally fulfilled while having abundant quality time to devote to your pets when they need it most.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is designed to be a safe, comfortable haven for visiting pets. I maintain a consistent walking and exercise schedule, adapting to each pets needs. I follow the feeding instructions you provide, respecting dietary restrictions and medication schedules. Sleeping arrangements are flexible- pets can have their own bed in a quiet space or, if allowed by owner, share comfortable furniture. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort, especially during the adjustment period and provide plenty of affection and one on one time. Most importantly, I maintain regular communication with pets parents, sending updates and photos so you can see your companion is happy and thriving in your absence.
