Pet care experience

Here for ALL of your furry friends!

Hello Paw-rents! My name is Alyssa Hooten, and I live in a small house in a quiet neighborhood on the north side of Evansville. I have two dogs, one little pup, Poppy, and one big boy, Forrest! They both love to play and cuddle and look forward to meeting new friends! My personal experience working with animals started with my first pet when I was 6! Since then I have only ever fallen more in love with working with pets! I have 2 years of professional work experience as I have worked at and with shelters, rescues, pet daycare facilities, and pet boarding businesses. I have worked as a kennel technician and my responsibilities included feeding, giving medications (via pills, injections, or skin care), cleaning up for the animals (their temporary living spaces and themselves if necessary), and basic training! I am experienced at working with animals of all ages, sizes, and shapes!

Alyssa was great. She took very good care of our furry family members and kept us updated. We'll definitely book her again.

Schedule

I am currently working full time and am enrolled full time as a student at an online college. I usually study from home and I work as a preschool teacher every weekday from 6am-4pm. I also keep a strict schedule on getting pets enough time outside to play and to potty throughout the day!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard that is divided by a smaller fenced in section and a larger open section with two tie-outs that are only used with supervision! My neighborhood is quiet and safe with plenty of fun places to sniff when on walks! I also live close to the 4-H center which offers more space for playing, walks, and training! I have one little dog and one bigger pup! Both of them are super comfortable and friendly with other dogs and cats of any size! I allow my pets on the furniture and free to wander throughout my house as long as I am home! I do have my house sectioned off if you would like to keep your pet separated from mine for any reason :)

Pets

A typical day

I usually keep a pretty flexible schedule with activities so I can adjust to the energy levels of your furry friend! I do however always make sure that I keep a strict schedule on outside time for potty breaks and play time! I have plenty of enrichment toys and am experienced at teaching basic obedience. I also have personal experience in scent/nose work! My neighborhood is quiet with lots of fun sights and sounds to keep your pup interested on walks!

I do not breed discriminate. All furry friends are welcome and loved! Please let me know if your dog is potty trained or crate trained in advance! I also need to know if your furry friend is okay with other dogs and cats, in order to keep your pup happy and safe! If your pup requires medication please let me know how and when I need to administer it!
