25+ YEARS PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Pet care experience

I pride myself on my professional experience in the K9 industry. I have been lucky enough to work in Training/daycare/boarding, I have managed transportation for very large daycares in Chicago. I am very confident in my ability to read and understand all breeds and personalities. My experience is extensive. I’ve worked and learned under various types of trainers. I was a trainer for Invisible Fence for over three years. At this stage of my experience, my passion is truly making every day the best day for the dogs who board with me.

Alyssa was so so helpful!! We boarded our dog for our wedding and Alyssa was so accommodating and helped get Opal to and from my family’s house after photos. We really appreciated the help.

Our dog always has a great time with Alyssa, and she clearly loves the dogs that stay with her. She is very flexible and great at communicating before and during our dog's stays
