Dog-lover is an understatement!

Pet care experience

I have been a happy dog-owner my entire life and understand that while being a pet parent is the greatest thing there is, it is also quite challenging once you factor in your busy work schedule and the hot summer sun… This summer, I am trying to use my free time to help pet parents like you! I have a lot of experience with all kinds of furry friends. Last summer, I fostered two dogs (a large-breed puppy and a pregnant chihuahua!) and found that there are so many ways to happily and healthily own a dog in Columbus. In particular, I love nature walks, and can keep up with the fastest walkers. I also have experience administering oral medication and dealing with dogs with many different temperaments. My friend owns two huge Rottweilers that I manage well too. Open to the biggest and smallest friends!

Alyssa was awesome to have watch our Bruno! She kept us updated on everything and included photos. She even brought in some packages that wasn’t asked - Would definitely recommend

Alyssa was fantastic! She sent me lots of pictures of her time with Kota. She walked her daily, even in the cold, snowy weather! She looked after her with great care as if Kota was her own dog. She kept me updated on all the fun they were having. I will definitely be using Alyssa for future bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

Your home, your rules! If you have a specific route you want me to take, I will follow it, no problem. I am also happy to drive to a preferred walking location if desired. I am able to crate dogs if you provide the crate and reinforce any home rules as needed. Any other requests? Just ask!

Information Alyssa D. would like to know about your pet

It’s always helpful to know your dog’s walking style beforehand and how they react to other dogs. If they have a favorite treat/snack (or allergies), that can be helpful too!

A typical day

I know the key to keeping a dog calm and happy is giving it plenty of exercise! Columbus has so many green spaces that we can explore. I love to keep a dog mentally challenged as well with plenty of playtime and/or basic training.

Availability

As a teacher, my schedule is extremely flexible during the summer. I have large openings in the middle of the day every weekday (M-F) that would be perfect to check on your pet while you are at work! I am also available on weekends if you want to take a quick trip somewhere to soak up the summer sun.
