Experienced Veterinary Nurse

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years of experience as a veterinary assistant. Although I am now a human nurse, I am passionate about animals and have maintained my skillset and knowledge. Safety and comfort for your dog is my top priority.

Safety, trust & environment

We do not allow dogs that are aggressive with people and will require them to be picked up if it is not safe to house them. We have a large backyard where your pet will get adequate exercise and supervised socialization. Dogs that prefer to be by themselves will be separated, allowed outside at rotating intervals, and have a portion of the house to themselves. We prefer to keep all dogs in individual crates while we are sleeping or run to the grocery store and cannot watch them. Otherwise, they are allowed free roam of the house with unlimited water.

Home

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 2 dogs
Children 6-12 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs not allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Alyssa D. would like to know about your pet

Please bring enough food, a crate, any medications, and any toys or comfort items your dog might enjoy. We provide bowls (except for slow feeders) and they will have unlimited access to water throughout the day.

A typical day

It's normal for dogs to be nervous at first. We let them roam the house and then slowly introduce them to one dog at a time. We only have a max of two other dogs on top of the two that we own. A typical day consists of them eating, going outside in the backyard, playing and sleeping in the house, and going on individual walks around the neighborhood. Dogs that pull should have a harness, training collar, or gentle lead with them. Dogs that are excessively anxious should come with anxiety medication (ex/ trazodone).
