Travel Nurse / Animal Lover 🤍

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! Growing up, my parents weren’t as enthusiastic as I was about bringing pets into the home, so you best believe that the first thing my husband and I did after moving in together was adopt our wonderful husky, Stella! I FINALLY get to indulge in all the amazing fun that comes with being a dog-owner now :) Stella brings my family and I so much love and joy, that we can’t help but spoil her. From fresh cooked meals (in our defense, she’s a picky eater…), endless subscription boxes, daily walks and dog park visits, to Starbucks runs & pup cups… you name it, she’s got it! We love having her so much, in fact, that we ended up adopting our second husky, Kona! After taking care of multiple high-energy dogs, I feel confident that I can responsibly handle taking care of others’ dogs, too! :) Please feel free to contact me any time and I’ll reply as quickly as I can. Thanks so much! I hope I can help you with all your pet’s needs :)

Alyssa was always fantastic with my husky! High-energy dogs can be a lot to handle for most, but Alyssa was always excellent with him. She even managed to get my pup to pose for some cute photos which was always nice! The only downside is my dog might like Alyssa more than he likes me know. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is in need!

Alyssa was awesome! She watched our 2 big dogs and 2 little chihuahuas for 4 nights. They were definitely in good hands. She sent us pictures of the pups when we requested them. She was great!! Would 100% trust Alyssa to watch the doggos again!

Alyssa has done so much for my pets! She has gone above and beyond for me and my pets. She makes sure they’re well cared for. Alyssa is the most loving caregiver for pets that i’ve met!! An absolute angel! My dogs wanted to leave with her.

Alyssa does an amazing job whenever she takes care of my puppy. You can tell she truly cares for animals and my lab is always super excited to see her. She has been very reliable in helping out, whenever I need, with my busy work schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment

I always use the utmost care when interacting with animals. I feel extremely comfortable taking the time to allow dogs to familiarize themselves with me before even attempting to pet them, placing a harness or leash on them, etc. On walks, I’m capable of handling strong “pullers”, or dogs that may lunge for nearby animals/distractions. I always move at a comfortable pace for the individual dog and am sure to bring water for breaks as well. And of course, as no two dogs are the same, I’m happy to accommodate additional needs as necessary!

Information Alyssa L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog requires any special accommodations or has habits (e.g. nipping, biting, aggression toward others, etc) that I should be aware of. Thank you!

A typical day

I personally love taking my own dogs on walks in various locations—I find that it tends to tire them out more when they’re able to explore new places, smell new things, etc. while getting their daily exercise. My personal favorite place in this area so far is East Rock Park! When home, we play games frequently to keep them busy. Stella enjoys ripping apart stuffed toys while Kona prefers to fetch. I’m happy to cater “play time” to whatever each individual dog prefers!
