Animals are my life!
Pet care experience
I have worked at a pet supply store in Denver, which made me eager to be able to help them not only nutritionally but also made me want to be able to help people look after their pets! It has made my love for animals even stronger. I am always looking to help people outside of my job with their animals. I learned a ton while working at the pet store, so I feel even more confident about helping people with their fur babies! I also worked at Overland Animal Hospital for a short period of time at their boarding facility, even though it was a short time, it gave me a better understanding of dog body language and how to be around dogs (and cats) especially if they don't get along with humans or other animals!
Reviews
I've been involved in animal rescue for about 12 years and I've got a very full household (3 dogs and 3 cats) with a variety of ages, breeds, sizes, behavioral and medical needs; so believe me when I say I'm about as picky as it gets when it comes to choosing someone I feel I can actually trust with my babies to keep everything in balance. I met Alyssa several years ago when we were both out on walks with dogs in the neighborhood- she was out with her sister's extremely elderly and ailing bulldog so he could get some fresh air in his stroller. We struck up a conversation and instantly bonded over our mutual passion for rescue pups and positive reinforcement only training techniques, and after some time she became my go to person to call if I was delayed at work and needed someone to let them out. That evolved into her becoming my dog walker several times a week, and eventually she was the only person I trusted to watch them when I was on vacation. Alyssa's love for animals truly shines through when she interacts with them, I cannot begin to recommend her services highly enough!

I make sure that my dog is always set up for success when caring for her. I would do the same for any one else’s pet! My girl gets daily walks and tons of play time! An active dog is important to me. We are a positive reinforcement and fear free household! That being said, I would never push my values or opinions in anyone. So if that’s not your jam, that’s totally fine! I just like to be transparent with where I stand on how i believe animals should be treated!
Information Alyssa N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any fear or aggression towards people or other dogs!! I want to make sure they are set up for success. Let me know of any allergies or special diets.
A typical day
I would treat it the same as I would my own girl! Start the day off by playing some ball. If ball isn’t their thing, we’ll find something else! Then go for a nice long sniffy walk. I like to take my dog on walks where we are in nature. But sometimes we’ll switch it up and go on a neighborhood walk. Usually after a walk, I’ll give my pup a chew and let her go to town!! :)
