Pet care experience

Will treat your dog like family!

I have owned, raised, and trained two dogs of my own. I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities. My goldendoodle comes with me when I housesit! I’ve helped many people in my life with their dog sitting needs! I work full time but am available nights and weekends. I love coming home and going on walks and spending time in the back yard with the dogs. We have a fenced in yard with two dogs. My roommate is home most of the time and loves to give the dogs attention! They get plenty of time outdoors but plenty of time for rest and relaxation. They get spoiled with treats, pets, and cuddles! Dogs are allowed on the furniture in our home!

Thanks again for taking care of my furbaby. I always feel comfortable leaving when he is in your care and you always go above and beyond :)

Alyssa sent pictures and updates and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Her communication and punctuality were stellar!

Alyssa was fantastic! Joey loved her and her dog Zeus. Alyssa sent many photos, videos and updates and had great communication. I would absolutely hire her again in a second.
