I'll treat your dog like my own!

Pet care experience

I've owned dogs my entire life, have worked at shelters for almost half of it and spent a past year working for a service dog training organization. I know how important a pet is to an owner and will treat your furry friend like my own - like part of the family. Now that I moved from out of state, I'm seriously missing my family dogs from back home and would love to interact with pets in the nearby area. I have a ton of experience training, working with, walking and hanging out with a variety of breeds and obedience levels. While I have experience with a range of animals, I prefer medium to large sized dogs just because that's what I'm used to owning. However, I can work with any type of dog no problem!

Alyssa was very kind from the start! We did a meet and greet with her and she was very gentle around the dogs. She was very trustworthy during her house sit, quick to respond, and even helped with additional emergency tasks. She also sent plenty of pictures and videos of the doggies to ease our worries. Will be calling her again!

Alyssa did a great job with my furballs and my home for a week. The house looked great and my three critters were very content. I'll be booking with her again!

Alyssa did a great job of taking loving care of all our critters! She was excellent about daily reports, photos and communication. I would highly recommend her!

Alyssa did a great job keeping Kodak company and taking care of his food, water, and litter. She sent me updates even when he was hiding and couldn't send a photo. I will definitely book with Alyssa again!

Safety, trust & environment

When watching pets in a client's home, I will take the pet for two walks a day and spend as much time in the home as possible to attend to the pet's needs.

Information Alyssa H. would like to know about your pet

I love to meet the dogs with the owners before pet sitting. I think this interaction is a good way to see if it's the right fit for everyone and get to know the dog on a personalized level from the owner.

A typical day

As long as your dog is okay with it, I love taking dogs on walks or out to the dog park. If playing around in the house or backyard is more in their comfort zone, I can do that too!

I currently work full time, but have a lot of availability to work from home. I sometimes have assignments that require me to work away from home, but I will ensure that I'm not looking after your pet on those same days.
