Highlights
Pet care experience
OK with dogs and cats of all sizes!
Owning pets all my life has inspired me to go to school to find a career working with animals. I have a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and I worked with Vetco to provide affordable vaccinations and other healthcare opportunities for both dogs and cats. I also worked as a zookeeper helping to provide care for ambassador animals at a forever home, and worked for outreach to teach the public why it's important to care for animals and the environment. I would be happy to provide care to your pets if you are out of town or do not have the time! I am able to care of dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as those with special needs. I can also administer medications both orally and by injection if needed.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alyssa is really amazing with animals. I know she works with them in her job and whenever she visits she's always so kind and caring with my dogs. Would I hire her? Absolutely. If I go on vacation, she'd be first on my list of caregivers.

Schedule
I live in an RV full-time and work as a remote tutor for K-12. My schedule is very flexible and I'm happy to help out!
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
Maintaining order and following the requests from the client is of the upmost priority, so making sure that the dog is behaving as they would if the owner was home is incredibly important, from keeping the house clean to picking up any waste in the backyard, and other cleaning tasks.
A typical day
Depending on the comfort level and physical ability of the dog, anything from slow walks to runs, hikes, beach trips and more would be both healthy and enriching for the animals. Otherwise, playing with toys in the home, practicing training, and more would be very important.
