Big or Small- I love them ALL!

With over 25 years of professional pet sitting and dog training experience, I offer a haven where every pet, from giant breeds to tiny tots, feels right at home. Nestled on an 8-acre farm in Asheville, with a delightful little lake, perfect for doggy swims, my property is like a year-round summer camp for pets. I pride myself on being trustworthy and reliable, with pick-up and drop-off services available to ensure your furry friends are well-cared for from start to finish. At our home or in your home, every animal is adored and given the love and attention they deserve!

Doggy Day Care • May 14, 2026

Alyssa’s place is a puppy paradise! Walking trails, toys galore, comfy beds and most especially lots and lots of loving care make this place the only place for my furry family member. My Charlee is very timid and afraid of everything. But, by the end of the day her tail was high and she was proud to introduce me to her new family! You can’t go wrong with Alyssa! I’ve never seen better!

Such kind sitters with a wonderful space for dogs to play and explore. We were so grateful to find sitters who were up to the task of caring for our senior dog. We got lots of pictures and notes about Sam’s time with Alyssa. Highly recommend

We’re new to town, so I was a little nervous about leaving our Finney with someone we didn’t know. But Alyssa had such great reviews and repeat clients that I decided to give it a shot—and I am SO glad I did! Alyssa and her husband were absolutely amazing. We received lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and Finney clearly had the best time. He even made some new friends while he was there! I will definitely be booking with Alyssa again—and honestly, I may start looking for excuses to send him back just to play. 😊 Thank you, Alyssa (and Curtis), for loving our pup so well and taking such great care of him while I was away!

Alyssa took great care of my high-energy dog. She’s very personable and knowledgeable, and she gave my guy all the attention and exercise he could’ve asked for. Plus, her house is extra dog friendly, with lots of space to charge around and all kinds of toys to play with. I’ll absolutely look forward to having my dog stay with Alyssa and her husband again.

Gracie and Kai fell head over heels in love with Lyssa. She was able to get Gracie to cuddle and that’s saying a lot. Gracie is Miss independent. She very selective about who she allows to snuggle her. Lyssa is very special and loving as is her husband. Kai and Gracie were thankful for all that love and attention . They are also huge fans of playtime and walks. They enjoyed hiking and playing so their stay was excellent. We will be booking repeat stays whenever we visit Asheville. I suspect that will be often! There are spectacular views and an exceptional stay for our pups. So who could ask for anything more?

A typical day

Welcome to a doggie paradise on our gorgeous 8-acre farm in Asheville, where every day feels like a thrilling summer camp adventure for your furry friends! Picture this: dogs prancing through sprawling fields, their tails wagging like little flags as they run, romp, and explore to their hearts' content. Our charming farm features a serene little lake perfect for playful splashes and refreshing swims, and a sprawling 2,000 square-foot covered play area where they can frolic rain or shine. For the smaller pups, there’s a special haven just for them, ensuring everyone has their own space to shine. At mealtime, each dog gets a cozy, private spot to enjoy their feast in peace. We also offer free pick-up and drop-off services, so you can sit back and relax while we take care of the details. With endless cuddles, belly rubs, and boundless love, every day here is a joyful romp through canine bliss!

All quirks and personalities are warmly welcomed here! Just let me know if your pet has any special needs or particular behaviors—whether it’s a tendency to be a bit feisty with other animals, children, or even mail carriers. If your dog has a knack for making a dash through open doors or scaling fences, please keep me informed. And don’t worry about medications; I’m more than happy to administer them as needed. Your pet’s unique traits will be embraced with care and attention!
