Fun, caring dog and cat lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! My family adopted a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd dog and have had her for 16 years. My boyfriend and I also just adopted a Shitzu/Bischon/Poodle mix who is currently 2 and a half years old. Ever since I was a young kid, I enjoyed the responsibility of caring for dogs, including walking the neighbor's dogs. I have spent time volunteering at animal shelters to spend time with the dogs and making them feel comfortable. I am not limited to working with dogs, however. My brother has adopted 2 cats, and I have taken care of them while he was away. Just as with dogs, they have felt comfortable with me. Please consider having me to take care of your pet(s). I'd appreciate the opportunity! You will find your dog(s) happy with their tails wagging, or your cat(s) purring, when you get home!

Alyssa was great! Our dogs, including the shy puppy, warmed up to her very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with her!

Alyssa was great! She provided regular updates, and Allie seemed to take to her very quickly. I'll definitely be contacting her again!

We had a very good feeling when we met Alyssa, for the first time. We saw immediately how she loves dogs ! Our spaniel cocker was very calm when we came back after a couple of hours, and it was the prove for us that he was fine with Alyssa. We recommend her deeply.

I would like to know the dog's temperament, how they are with new people, and how they tend to play with other dogs. I have no breed preferences, as long as they are gentle dogs.

A typical day

We could go to a park and play, go for a long or short walk, or stay at home. I can brush and/or bathe the dog!
