I have known Alyssa for 7 years. I met her when I started working at the dog daycare where we are both still employed. She was a big part of my training there and I learned a lot from her. I immediately saw her strengths when working with large groups of dogs. She possesses a great balance of structure and playfulness that works to fit the needs of any dog. She is attentive and aware of the various needs of the dogs on any given day, which changes frequently. She is flexible and knowledgeable within this setting. One of her biggest strengths is her ability to bond with any dog. She works hard to figure out what each dog needs so they can be successful in a sometimes overwhelming environment. Over the years I have witnessed her care for many different dogs in her home, as well as the pet owner home. She makes sure to understand what each pet owner wants for their dog , and then works hard to give them the same treatment. Alyssa provides a perfect mix of physical and mental stimulation for every dog. She is wonderful at trick training and makes each walk a new and exciting experience; whether that is with new places or making the same place feel like new. Her walks blend exercise and exploration with finding and sniffing games. She is sure to provide each client with amazing photos of their pups adventures, which also helps dogs learn patience and the ability to wait and calm their minds. In addition, Alyssa works well with reactive dogs, by helping them be able to have the same fun experience on walks without becoming too over stimulated. She consistently uses effective training tools to meet their goals. Alyssa is the only person I completely trust with my own dog. She has health issues and deals with significant separation anxiety from me. I can trust that when I’m gone she is getting everything she needs. Alyssa works hard to keep her calm when I’m away. She is always looking for new ways to make the situation better when my dog is unsettled. I highly recommend Alyssa for the needs of any pet. You will feel content knowing your best friend is in her care.

Alyssa has been watching my dog since he was three months old, and now he is almost seven. I found her at a local doggy day care when I needed drop in visits for my puppy when I was at work, and she has been helping me ever since. No words can thank her for everything she has done for my dog and me. She has done drop in visits, taken my dog to and from doggy daycare when I have been unable to, and he has had multiple overnight stays with her when I have been out of town. She even took time off from work to take my dog to the vet when I was unable to after he was diagnosed with cancer. I always feel safe when he is with her. She has taught him multiple tricks and is an excellent trainer. He loves her and her dogs and can’t wait to see them. He always comes home tired from all the play he gets with them. Alyssa has been a blessing for my dog and I could not recommend anyone more than her.
