Dog Devotee & Feline Fancier

Pet care experience

Welcome! My name is Aly and my dog’s name is Snowball. We are so glad you came our way. Just a preface for all my boarding clients, Snowball usually attends my boardings with me. He does not attend my drop-ins unless you would prefer for him and your own to run around together during the duration. If so, I ask that your animals are peachy with having another fur buddy to play with before booking boardings with me. He is friends of all humans and animals alike. I have been an animal caregiver for over 10 years with experience handling small to large dogs widely varying in breeds - to cats, reptiles, fish and livestock. I currently have my own well-trained dog who travels everywhere with me and is happy to meet you and show off his skills as an example. I have personally been an owner / foster parent to many different breeds including German Shepherds, Huskies, other larger dogs and all sizes down to mini’s. I grew up on a large farm style property that homed not only dogs and cats but animals such as goats, chickens, and mules. I'm comfortable being around animals and the hard work it takes to care for them and provide them the love they deserve. I previously worked in healthcare and although these are furry friends instead of humans, I am comfortable administering medications and or providing any other medical care to meet your animals needs. I am also experienced and trained in both canine and feline protocols for CPR in case of an emergency. I’m here for all your animals needs and love to have open conversations about what that entails so I can provide them with the absolute best care. My prices include outdoor trips, walks, dog parks, bathing if necessary (weather/mud permitted accidents), any routine chores and care that needs to be done in the home such as taking the trash out to the curb or watering plants. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I’m happy to talk through any needs.

Alyssa was great with our dog. It was the first time we were using Rover and away from home. We needed a sitter at the last minute due to our dinner plans and Alyssa was super quick in her responses and we were able to book her in a short time. She was super friendly with Finn and he seemed to like her as well. More importantly, she was very communicative and calmed us down with pictures and updates while we were at dinner. Overall, very happy with our experience.

Though she's not really talking, our dog Midge LOVED hanging out with Aly and Snowball! Aly is a great communicator and definitely kept Midge busy -- highly recommend!

Alyssa was amazing with our dog while we were gone! Liliana was very tired when we got back because she played so much!

Safety, trust & environment

Since each situation varies between each pet so uniquely I love to have transparent conversations about how to best meet your pet's needs and your expectations as well so it's the best experience all around for everyone involved. Generally though I’m just happy to have your pets company and have fun. I am a respectful professional just using rover as a way for my dog to meet some potential friends, and me the opportunity to still enjoy my passion of being around various animals outside of my everyday hobbies.

Information Alyssa F. would like to know about your pet

I like to have an honest open conversation about your animal's needs and behaviors. The more information that is provided the better experience it is for your dog and myself.

A typical day

Each animal is different, but my lifestyle ranges from outdoor activities to hanging out at home. I cater to each animal's needs individually and am happy to keep an animal's routine that they already have if they are familiar with specific parks or certain walking paths. I'm also pleased to play with any animals indoors or with basic stimulation with toys/balls/puzzle boxes or command stimulation.

Watching animals is my full time gig. I am very flexible and able to accommodate most requests like specific routines or activities your animal is used to. I hike and am often outdoors, for boarding bookings if this is something you would like to have your pet participate in, that is always an option. Otherwise I’m happy to keep it simple and easy - to neighborhood walks or just lounging at the house.
