Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any specific needs or requests (snacks, favorite spots to walk or play, meds, etc.) for your pet ahead of time. Please also provide information about how your pet is with other animals and people. The more information, the better! That way I can best ensure that your pet enjoys their walk and overall time with me.

Pet care experience

I am a pediatric speech language pathologist but have been caring for dogs for the past 15 years. I grew up with a cockapoo and have since cared for many of my relatives and friends dogs. I have the most experience with small to medium sized dogs and am excited to get to know you and your pups!

Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!

I can't say enough about Alyssa!!! Within seconds my Sadie fell in love with her and couldn't wait for her next visit. She was literally at the door waiting with her tail wagging. Alyssa was flexible with timing that changed last minute and was very responsive to texts. I will be reaching out to her again as soon as the need arises!!!
