Animal Science Major @ WSU

Pet care experience

I'm a lifelong pet lover on a mission to make tails wag and hearts melt! Currently studying animal science and biology in college, my passion for furry friends knows no bounds. From raising and training service dogs for Guide Dogs for the Blind and Canine Companions to providing veterinary care for street dogs in Guatemala, my journey with animals has been paws-itively enriching. With experience in everything from bathing and nail clipping to administering medications and even using puppy wheelchairs, I'm your go-to pet care guru. Whether it's a playful pup, a horse, or a gentle giant like a cow, I've got you covered! You can find a glimpse of my fur family adventures on Instagram @alyssa_pets. As a trainer apprentice at a dog training/boarding center in Pullman, WA, I'm committed to using positive reinforcement methods (LIMA style) to nurture good behavior and foster strong bonds between pets and their humans. Your furry companions will be treated with the same love and attention as my own, because every wag, woof, and whisker matters to me.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. Rest assured, I'm fully vaccinated with Pfizer and triple boosted, providing an extra layer of protection for both your family and mine. Additionally, I've received rabies vaccination for added peace of mind. I believe in creating a nurturing environment where pets feel at ease, which is why I offer in-house care to maintain their familiar surroundings. Whether it's dogs, cats, or even livestock like cattle and horses, I'm comfortable and experienced with a variety of breeds and species. When it comes to walking your dogs, I'm mindful of weather conditions and their impact on their well-being. I'm equipped to handle various types of collars and harnesses, including gentle leaders, slip leads, prong collars, and harnesses. However, I always appreciate a quick tutorial, especially if there's a specific harness you prefer. Please let me know your preferred walking times, and I'll ensure it's safe and comfortable for your furry companions. In cases of extreme heat, I recommend either providing booties for their paws or rescheduling for a cooler part of the day. Your pet's health and happiness are paramount to me, and I'm dedicated to providing the best care possible.

Information Alyssa F. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your precious pet, it's essential for me to gather some key information to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both your dog and myself. Please let me know of any allergies or dietary restrictions your dog may have, as well as any specific treat rules you follow. Understanding your pet's potty schedule and where they typically sleep helps me maintain their routines and provide comfort during their stay. Consistency is key, so I aim to adhere to your dog's regular feeding and walking schedules whenever possible. Knowing their favorite activities allows me to tailor our time together for maximum enjoyment, whether it's playing fetch, going for a walk, or simply cuddling on the couch while watching a movie. If your dog loves car rides, I'm more than happy to accommodate! During house sitting, I may even treat them to a special outing through a drive-thru for a fun adventure + a pup cup, but only if they're comfortable with car rides. By providing me with these details ahead of time, I can better prepare and provide the best possible care for your furry friend. Your pet's happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I'm committed to making their time with me safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.

A typical day

During a typical day, your furry friend can expect plenty of fun and attention under my care! From walks to engaging play sessions, I'll ensure they get the exercise and stimulation they need to be happy. Training sessions are also available, as I love helping dogs learn new skills and manners. In addition to activities, I'm happy to provide grooming services like nail trims and brushing, ensuring your pet looks and feels their best. Need something extra? Just let me know, and I'll tailor the care to meet your pet's specific needs. And if your dog would enjoy some canine company, I'm more than happy to bring my pup along for a fun playdate! Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I'm dedicated to making their time with me enjoyable and fulfilling.
