I'm a dogs best friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs since I was 13 years old and dogs have been in my life ever since. I have worked as a pet sitter for 4 years; boarding walking and daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. I am comfortable medicating dogs and am full of great cuddles and fun activities.

Alyssa was wonderful with our 12 year old senior lab. This was our first time having a house sitter for Magnus and she took great care of him and the house. She sent pics and videos every day which was super comforting given we were away for over two weeks. I will definitely have Alyssa care for and house sit for Magnus again and highly recommend her services.

Alyssa is EXTREMELY professional. She takes her job very seriously, being the animal lover she is, and does such a great job making pet owners feel trusted and secured leaving their fur babies under her care. She really does go above and beyond. Animals just love her. I think she speaks their language.

Highly recommend Alyssa. She creates a safe, fun and loving home away from home for your most important family members! She really takes a professional and more importantly personal interest in your pet sending regular updates and ensuring all your pets needs are met!

I was very happy to find Alyssa, she is a true dog lover and takes amazing care of my fur babies. One of my dogs is slightly difficult to handle as he is spoiled! But, I have no worries with Alyssa as he just jumps for joy when she comes to take him for his walks and behaves with her. Alyssa will text over a picture, leave me information on treats that are best for my pets, and cares for each of them the way I would. I never have cause for worry when I'm away on travel as I know they are with Alyssa. Even on those days when I can't get home in time for their evening walk, Alyssa has been very accommodating in adding them to her schedule. Alyssa came highly recommended and I in turn can say she is truly is one of the best!

I live in a great townhome with a nice sized fenced in backyard. I like to keep our older dogs or more shy dogs separated from the younger more playful dogs. We get potty breaks pretty often, with all the play time! I like to also set some relaxation time for the dogs as well with a movie and good cuddles! If you would like your dog crated, I can happily do that. Dogs must be vaccinated and neutered. Dogs must also be dog friendly as I have a core group of daycare dogs who come to my home during the week.
