Alyssa is a wonderful dog-sitter. My family and I are very specific about who takes care of our dog because of how skittish she is. (Dog hotels are not an option because of abandonment issues.) It was important for us to find a dog-sitter that not only took care of our dog, but also respected our home. Alyssa was able to visit our home prior to dog-sitting and our dog loved her immediately. We walked her through our dog (Nuzzle)'s routine and gave her a list of directions just in case. Alyssa was sure to give us daily updates about Nuzzle sometimes including photos! Her love of dogs is very apparent in how easily she was able to gain Nuzzle's trust!
