Safety, trust & environment

My home is set up with a gating system to keep all dogs safe and happy while in care. I have the ability to crate or room off as needed. I can also gate and rotate dogs while in my care. I have several dogs that love other dogs and are used to fosters coming in regularly. My cat thinks he is a dog and likes to play with pups. We provide fresh bedding and bowls daily for each dog and are happy to give medication as needed. As someone that has been through handler training with a service dog program, I am equipped to host your furbaby in my home. we do have the capability to take dogs that will respect baby gates into the home. I do not require all dogs to be in a crate while dog sitting unless needed!

Information Alyssa E. would like to know about your pet

I am okay with special needs dogs and there is no breed preference. I’ve fostered over 1000 dogs from all sizes, ages, and breeds. We love the bully breeds! I love dogs so much that I am the cofounder of a local Foster-based dog rescue. We truly understand the needs of a large pack and individual dogs. You will need to provide your own food so that your dog stays well-tummy troubles are not fun. I will need feeding schedule, bathroom schedule, and daily exercise routine if they have one. If your dog needs medication, that will need to be explained ahead of time. I would also like your vet's contact info in the case of emergency.

A typical day

The dogs in the home get individual attention and we work on a few basic commands or review a few basic commands while staying here. Dogs get special treats ranging from a denta bone to kongs with peanut butter and kibble. Iced yogurt is also a favorite! Neighbor walks and playtime in one of 3 fenced off areas-baby pool is used seasonally—is also a happening thing!

Pet care experience

We are passionate about your dog’s well being while in our care. As a dog foster mom for more than 14 years, I’ve fostered more than 800 dogs of all breeds and sizes in my home. I am a certified handler through a local service dog program and host dogs in training at my workplace. I also have a facility dog I take to work daily. I’ve had three therapy dog teams as well. My home is set up with a gating system to keep all pack members safe, happy, and comfortable. The yard consists of 3 separate play areas and is dog friendly. All dogs are given playtime and one on one time while with us!

Alyssa was great! She was flexible when I was running late dropping Zero off which was a huge help, and she sent a few good pictures and updates. Zero had a great time at her house, I'm sure he'll be back at some point in the future!
