Safety, trust & environment

I’m experienced with skittish animals and have learned to be patient and work with them. I know how to gently crate a stubborn dog or deescalate with a triggered pet.

Information Alyssa G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much about your pet as possible in order to provide the best care, suited for your pet and their particular needs. Do they need any medications? Certain dietary restrictions? Any injuries to be aware of? Are there certain areas of the house off limits? Anything you think may be helpful to know!

A typical day

I’ll make sure to keep your dog from getting bored with plenty of walks and playing with their favorite toys. If treats are approved, they’ll be used for positive reinforcement!

Pet care experience

I’ve always had pets and loved caring for them! I grew up with a dog who was my responsibility from a young age. I started pet sitting for family in my teens and continue to do so now. In addition to the usual walks and feeding I give medication and baths when needed. I tend to dog sit, but have 2 cats, Jinx and Rue. I found Rue injured when she was a kitten and learned to care for her injuries, 4 years later she’s perfectly healthy!

We had a wonderful experience with Alyssa. She took excellent care of my dog and home, providing daily updates and photos. My pup seemed so happy and well-cared for when I returned! Very Highly recommend!

Alyssa was excellent in checking in on our cats while we were away for a week. Both cats warmed up to her quickly, even our shy one. She followed their care instructions perfectly and I would highly recommend her for cat drop in visits.
