Friendly dog sitter

Pet care experience

I have a lot of experience taking care of a variety of dogs and cats and love watching dogs in my home! We have an energetic and very friendly two-year-old dog Eddie that especially loves having dog friends stay over! I am very responsible and will communicate with you about your pet as much as you would like. I will only board one dog at a time, in addition to my dog so your pup will get lots of attention and care. Happy to have your pup sleep on the bed and relax on the couch with us! We do also have a senior cat in our home but we can easily keep him separated from your dog if needed or requested. He is very used to being around dogs however.

Alyssa is great! Our high energy pup loves playing with hers and came home happy and tired. Alyssa takes great care of her.

Rosie had a great stay with Alyssa for a long weekend and had a great time playing with her dog, Eddie! She came home nice and tired from all of the playtime. Alyssa sent updates and photos while we were away.

Alyssa and her family were great hosts for our pup Fennec! Our dogs got along great and Fennec loved the familiar family environment. Lots of pics throughout her stay. She got a lot of walks and backyard time too. She is now snoozing away from all the fun. Thank you, Alyssa!
