🐾Caring, reliable, dependable 🐾

Pet care experience

I have worked with dogs at a greyhound rescue. I also worked with dogs and cats at veterinary clinic. I grew up with cats and rabbits. I have volunteered at an animal shelter and a rabbit shelter. I have 3 dogs of my own that I love so much. I worked at a greyhound rescue where I worked for 2 to 3 years. While I was there I started off by cleaning kennels, feeding the dogs, and walking them to and from the play area. I then started to stay in the play area to watching them. I also gave them their medications, checking wounds, helping with blood draws, and helped giving them baths. I worked as a veterinary assistant. I would get pets and owners into an exam rooms to see the veterinarian, helped wherever needed, and also clean the exam rooms, the lobby, and x-ray room. I love my 3 dogs so much and wouldn't give them up for anything. It started with one dog and then we got the second dog because the pandemic happened and wanted to get a play buddy for our first dog. Our first dog got diagnosed with Addison's disease. She didn't want to play much, so my husband got another puppy. I give them lots of love and attention. All 3 of the dogs get to spend time outside but they have to be watched because they are escape artists. I walk them around the neighborhood or let them play in the backyard or play with them inside. All 3 of them are fed 2 meals a day. I also help give them baths with my husband. I have also watched my parents cats when they were on vacation. I cleaned up hairballs, fed them, cleaned their litter boxes, and gave them love(played with them and gave them pets). We took in rabbits that we found. I would have to clean out the bottom of the cages. I would take the cages outside so that the could get some fresh air and sun. I have worked at a rabbit shelter and also at a shelter with cats and dogs. I cleaned runs/cages. I helped wherever I was needed at the time.

Safety, trust & environment

I am friendly and patient with animals that are shy or nervous dogs and cats. I make sure your pet feels comfortable when I walk them or drop-in to let them go outside to potty and play with them. I will send pictures of your pet and update you on everything that goes on with your pet or the environment. I make sure your pet safe and is taken care of when I come to visit.

Information Alyssa F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything specific about your dog. I need to know energy level, if your dog pulls, if you want me to give them treats, and also any special things your dog needs. I have some experience with senior dogs and special needs dogs but would need to know before hand anything specific. I do prefer meet and greets to make sure that I am comfortable with your pet and your pet is comfortable with me. Also meet and greets come in handy if you want to go over any specific instructions for your pet(s) and gets them use to me before I start the drop-ins or walks.

A typical day

I will let your dog(s) outside in the backyard or walk them so they can go potty. I will walk the dog around the neighborhood. If I am letting them out in the backyard, I make sure they go potty or at the very least get some fresh air before going back inside. I will give them treats (if you want me to) and spend time with them while I am there.

I am a stay-at-home mom. I am available in the middle of the day while my kids are in school and evening when they are home. I am busy with dropping off and picking up my kids. I can do weekends if I get a few days notice so that I can plan my days. I will also take drop-ins and walks on short notice depending on the time of day and where you live. In June, I will be available more since my kids will be on summer vacation.
