I would highly recommend Alyssa as a dog sitter. She demonstrates such love and care for her own greyhound rescues that I had no problem having her care for our own rescue. My husband and I put off all trips as we didn't want to put our dog in a kennel and we didn't know anyone that we could trust to take care of our dog in our own home (that is until we found Alyssa.) Once we found Alyssa and saw how she treated her own rescues we were comfortable enough to give her a try. We were so happy with the results!! First our dog was happy. His tail wouldn't stop wagging when he was with her. Alyssa followed all our instructions with regard to feeding and exercise. Second she took care of our home leaving it just as clean as when we left. We have used Alyssa a number of times and would definitely recommend her!
