Alyssa was absolutely amazing! She sent us photos and updates throughout the stay. Our pup had the best time with her and came home happy and tired! We could tell he was so well cared for and had so much fun. We would absolutely recommend Alyssa and will definitely book with her again!

Alyssa took such great care of Jed during my recent vacation! She shared plenty of updates about how he was doing, and she was patient with his leash reactivity. I plan to be a repeat customer 😊 thanks, Alyssa!

We had a great experience with Alyssa, and our pup seemed to really enjoy their time together. Alyssa was always great with communication and care, and was extra nice when our doggo developed an ear infection while staying with her - even texting us to see if there was anything that she could do before we got back to pick her up. We would not hesitate to have our dog stay with her again.

Alyssa was incredible. This was the first time we were leaving our dog Nelli with someone other than family or a very close family friend so we were very nervous. But Alyssa certainly made our nerves disappear. She was extremely good at sending us pictures and updating us every single day. She went above and beyond for our girl and we are extremely grateful. Would 100% book with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a safe neighborhood with a dog park and suburban area making walks easy. If you wish to have your pet crated, we can do that, however I allow pets to relax on the couch and even the bed - making your pet feel as comfortable as possible while missing you is my top priority. Please know there are no plants in my home that are harmful to animals, and all toxic chemicals (i.e. cleaning supplies, detergent, etc.) are safely stored away to ensure the best safety for your pet.

A typical day

A typical day with me as your pet sitter is filled with care, attention, and love for your furry friend. I start the day with a warm greeting, making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine, whether it's feeding times, medication schedules, or specific commands. I monitor their behavior and well-being, providing lots of affection and reassurance, especially if they’re feeling a bit anxious. I also keep you updated with photos, messages, or quick check-ins so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. In the evening, I wind down the day with a calming routine, ensuring they are comfortable and content. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment that feels like a home away from home, giving you peace of mind and your pet a joyful, stress-free experience.
