Safety, trust & environment

Treating your pet with the same amount of care/concern as my own is my top priority. Making sure they do not get into anything they shouldn't and making sure they listen or play accordingly.

Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet

Usually I prefer to know where toys are kept, how the dog gets let out, and specific tips or tricks getting the dog to go outside if they do not take well to strangers at first. Anything to make the dog feel like I can be part of the family and know their quirks.

A typical day

Let me know where your pooch loves to walk and that should work! Playing frisbee, throwing a ball around and interacting with your dog is always so much fun. Anything to keep them occupied!

Pet care experience

I do not price gouge. The rates shown are current and up-to-date to reflect the fact: I am here to make sure your pet is truly cared for. They deserve to be played with, pet, loved on, and given attention during the alloted time asked for. Throughout my life, I have had puppies and senior dogs. I favor senior dogs more, but enjoy a spunky dog at times! Doing tasks correctly is what I strive for. I highly suggest a meet and greet because it can be hard accepting a stranger into a house for the first time. Having your dog know that you are okay with accepting a stranger into the house is a good sign for them to know to trust me. Then, during that first drop-in, your pup will feel semi comfortable with my scent. Leaving instructions for a last minute drop-in that cannot require a meet and greet will also help with that comfortability. Whether it be plenty of treats, playing fetch or giving all the pets!

Got along instantly with my dog, paid attention to my instructions, and wrote very detailed play-by-plays of each drop-in visit. Will definitely be booking her again for future visits!
