All animals unconditionally loved!

Pet care experience

Where all your pets will be happy and loved! I have experience in all animal services including the most important part LOVING! I am a veterinarian technician student and looking for more experiences to put up my sleeve. + doing Rover full time as my occupation! I am extremely detailed oriented, dependable and honest when it comes to my passion. I absolutely love everything about animals and I feel that it’s my calling to take care of them and show them the unconditional love they would get from their parents here at my home. I have experience with handling all breeds and sizes of dogs. Including everything from puppies, older dogs, sick dogs, females in heat, high energy, shy/high anxiety dogs...you name it I’ve dealt with it. I am also experienced in training dogs to do the basics ( sit, stay, down, paw ) with the help of food motivation aka treats! I have a reliable transportation as well where I can provide not only a pick up & drop off service (+$20 round trip) but also anything from running errands to the grocery store, to petco/petsmart for anything the animal needs. ( free with reimbursement of anything purchased for the animal with proof of receipt) I will always put the animals and owners needs first before anything! A slobbery smile is the best kind of smile and I can’t wait to add more animals into my family! *DISCLAIMER For Boarding Services* JUNE - OCTOBER 2021: I will be briefly taking a break ONLY from boarding services due to the transition of relocating temporarily. I will be ACCEPTING all animals for boarding services beginning October 11th 2021. (Due to the circumstances of the temporary location I’ll be staying in, I am willing to explain to anyone who inquiries which services I still offer and also accepting all small animals or proper house/bathroom trained animals during the temporary break!) Thank you so much for being understanding in this temporary inconvenience! Crate/Cages: • MUST be willing to provide a crate/cage/kennel for the dog! • - ONLY if all of my personal cages are occupied; I have 4 Large size cages & 2 Small/Medium size cages available during boarding services. ~ I live in a APARTMENT (currently until October of 2021 - will be moving into a house) with carpet & thin walls on the 2nd floor. (a small flight of stairs- willing to assist/carry any dogs who may not be able to get up & down the stairs) All animals are welcomed but I do require the cage to PREVENT accidents or damage within the house and or carpeted area. I’m more than happy to help with carrying and transportation of anything if need be! * Cages are used mainly for: 1. Separation- Feeding, Transitions from different groups of dog’s, Nap/Bed Time ( if multiple dogs are boarding at the same time ), Cleaning ( vacuuming, mopping etc ), and Errands ( only if need be or to go to another service- dog walking / drop in visits {30 minutes - 1 hour max} ) Barking: - As previously mentioned I live in a apartment complex on the second floor. If your dog barks excessively when left alone ( Max up to a hour for errands or other services ) or while in the house where it causes a disturbance to others (neighbors) living in the building you must be able to provide a working shock/bark collar with the charger and or batteries with your dogs belongings at drop off. Food/Leash/Toys: • Please ensure you provide the needed components to give your dog the best care possible! ( enough food/treats for the stay, blankets/toys, and leash/harness/collar ). • However if needed I can provide: - 6 Metal Bowls. - 6 Cages (total). - 2 Collapsable/Traveling Water Bowls. - 1 Small leash/collar set & 1 Large leash/collar set (if needed or emergencies- all belongings are kept together during their stay). - Extra Poop Bags. - Blankets / Tarps. - Cold Tap Water or Cold Purified/Spring/Distilled Water ( upon request with a +$1 fee per gallon of water ). - Stuffed Animals / Rubber Toys / Balls / Frisbee Etc. - Training treats, Biscuit treats, Bones & Occasional Home Made Frozen Yogurt treats. - Basic Grooming: Shampoos/Conditioners/Waterless Shampoo/Fragrance Sprays/Combs/Brushes/Peanut Butter Toothpaste/Paw Balm/Towels/Blow Dryer/Flea&Tick Application/Eye&Face Wipes/Nail Trims Etc. (Free) { as of right now: NO HAIR CUTTING WITH HAIR CLIPPERS : Only able to provide baths & spa like treatments. } Cats/Felines: • cats please ensure you have enough litter for the litter box as I will clean the litter box everyday. * ~ Also please ensure you’re able to provide a working and durable leash for your animal as well as any needed harnesses for the body area. I do not have an extra leash nor do I have a fenced in yard, I live in a APARTMENT building with open grass/dog areas to use the restroom in. ~ ~ If your animal plays with toys at home please feel free to bring them to mine as well. Especially if your animal is a chewer you must provide chew toys or bones, anything to make the animal comfortable and manageable to control as I am not their owner to obey commands too and may cause damage being in an unfamiliar environment. ~ To prevent any inconveniences for owners/clients if the home boarding accommodations can NOT be meet, I do offer DROP IN HOME visits where I go to your house to take care of the animals for up too 30 minutes to 1 Hour for however many times needed throughout the day. Thank you. - Alyssa

Alyssa did a fantastic job taking care of my dog Penny. She was extremely caring, attentive, and patient with all of my requests. She did a great job being detailed in her walking report cards, and she showed my dog extra love and care. Thank you Alyssa!

Information Alyssa F. would like to know about your pet

I do not prefer any specific dog breed, ALL dogs and cats and animals are welcomed! My home is there second home. I would just like to know that all shots have been given and if there is anything special or different about the animal I should know.

A typical day

I love doing activities outside! I live in a suburban area where there are tons of dog parks, outside walking trails and tons of time for play time! I love also bonding with animals inside the house, cuddling, making sure they’re comfortable and well fed!
