I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I also offer boarding depending on availability.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and routine so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure pets are always supervised, in a safe space, and handled gently. I follow all instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they stay happy and active.

Information Alyssa D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of. I’m happy to work with anxious, shy, or high-energy animals and will do my best to make them feel comfortable and safe!

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and exercise based on your pet’s needs and energy level. We’ll go for walks, play games, and spend time together to keep them happy and comfortable. I’ll also follow your pet’s regular feeding schedule, routines, and any special instructions!

Loving & Reliable Pet Services

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for animals for family, friends, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, bathing, and providing daily care. I’m comfortable handling energetic or shy personalities. I’ve also cared for disabled dogs, which taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and building trust with pets that need extra support. I always focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in any environment. I treat every animal like my own and pay close attention to their individual needs and routines. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Alyssa is absolutely amazing! Our circumstances changed during our booked time and Alyssa was incredibly understanding and flexible. She took great care of our pets and sent many pictures. Our dog went on many daily walks and she took the time to play with both the cat and dog during her visits. She communicates consistently and took away the stress of being away from our fur babies. We couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her for any future trips.

Teddy absolutely loved Alyssa, she was so gentle and knew how to approach him. Alyssa is very sweet. She cuddles teddy like her own puppy is is the best. She is so good to animals and she even will feed our talking parrot Jackson. She sends us pictures with the parrot on her shoulder is the best. She has great communication. Would definitely use Alyssa again. She has integrity steaming of 24/7. Thank you Alyssa

She was very pleasant when she greeted William our standard poodle. He instantly sensed that she was a great person and he loved her. She was very good about locking up, keeping pets safe and secure and she has very good communication. Communication is everything for me when it comes to a dog walker, cause I’m a nervous type since I love my William so much. 1000% would recommend Alyssa she is an absolute Ace. Thank you Alyssa looking forward to seeing you soon.
