Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs including medical care or medications. I follow instructions closely and keep a watchful eye on behavior to ensure your dog feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain a calm, clean environment. On walks, I stay attentive, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure your dog is always secure. I’m also happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

Information Alyssa D. would like to know about your pet

I always like to learn as much as I can about your dog ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. Please let me know about their routine, energy level, temperament, and any specific behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, so feel free to share any medications, mobility concerns, or special instructions. The more I know, the better I can make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

A typical day

A typical day with me is tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality. We’ll go on walks where they can explore, sniff, and get plenty of exercise, along with playtime and mental stimulation through brain games and interaction. For more active dogs, I’m happy to keep them engaged with longer walks or outdoor time, while calmer or senior dogs will get a more relaxed pace and plenty of comfort and attention. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels happy, fulfilled, and cared for.

Dependable & Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or comfort. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have volunteered in the past with being a temporary foster for shelter/rescue dogs. I also have volunteered with driving dogs in rescues to their medical appointments. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra attention, or more specialized care, I’m here to help.

Alyssa was amazing with our five month old puppy. She was great at communicating and was so patient with our pup. I would highly recommend her!
