Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Temporary Bestie!

I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was around 10 years old, having my own black lab since I was 12. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and I understand the love and attention they require. Each puppy is unique in their own way and I know each new pet will be a learning experience. I will make sure your beautiful baby is happy while you are away. Please note: • I prefer meeting in person or over the phone before officially booking the service with you. I reserve the right to not book with you after talking, if the circumstances aren’t right for me or I don’t feel comfortable. • I can walk dogs of all sizes, however it will depend on how much your dog pulls on the leash. If I feel your dog is too strong for me and I don’t feel comfortable walking them, I will not move forward with the booking. • When completing a booking, I will assume that every light and appliance left on was done so on purpose and will not turn them off unless I’m told to. • I will assume I am the only person entering and leaving your household. Please let me know beforehand if there will be other people coming and going so I am not concerned if something is out of place.

Safety, trust & environment

I personally live in a 2x2 apartment with my two kids (my cats). We just recently adopted our second one and they are still learning to get along, so due to that I am not willing to board an animal at my place yet.

Alyssa was great. She took care of my little Smokey as if her were her own. She constantly sent photos and updates which was very reassuring. I highly recommend her.

Alyssa was so great and reliable with our 10-year-old cat, Olive, while we went on vacation. She sent us detailed updates and cute pictures of her snuggling with our girl. Our girl warmed up to her so quickly and seemed to eagerly wait for her visits! We’ll definitely be using Alyssa again in the future!
