Availability
I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays 9 AM–6 PM, weekdays after 3:15 PM, and weekends. I work pet care into my daily routine and plan my schedule around walks and drop in visits. I prioritize reliability and consistency so pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I enjoy being active and flexible, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care in consistently during the week.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety and comfort come first, always. I'm RECOVER Pet CPR & First Aid certified, so I'm prepared if something goes wrong. With my Fear Free certification and my 100+ shelter hours I've learned how catch stress signals early watching body language. I follow your instructions exactly: feeding schedules, crating, medications, bedtime routines, off-leash rules, treat restrictions. I never give treats without checking with you first. You'll get photo updates after every visit so you can see exactly how things went. I've worked with anxious dogs, reactive dogs, seniors with mobility issues, and puppies who've never been walked by a stranger. If your dog needs patience and a slow approach, that's what they'll get.

Reviews
I have known and worked with Alyssa for 6+ years.In that time I have come to know her both professionally and personally. Her love for animals comes through on a daily basis and sparks great conversations on pet life, animal care, and many pictures of the four legged friends she had met over the week. Alyssa is an extremely dedicated and passionate employee that strives to make her fellow associates work day as fun and stress free as possible. Alyssa prides herself not only on the quality of her work but the wellbeing of all others around her wether they be human or animal she will make sure they are happy, healthy, and as stress free as possible. Alyssa has not only earned my respect but also my trust with my own pets or children. Alyssa is a wonderful person to be around and a fantastic human being.
I’ve known Alyssa for years now. She’s always been kind, respectful, and dependable. She’s hardworking, patient, and genuinely caring, especially when it comes to animals. I know she would treat any pet with love, attention, and responsibility, and I’d absolutely trust her to care for mine.
Ali is the absolute best!! She loves animals and is a very caring person! ❤️ She’s the perfect fit for animal caregiving!! I love her!!
Alyssa is such a joy to know! The love and care she puts into being educated, steady, and supportive for each pet is astounding. I’ve never seen anyone so amazing with animals! She’s always communicative and a great person to call when you need someone reliable!
