Pet care experience

Pets are my passion and after working with pets for the last 10 years in different fields, I've come to realize that petsitting is where I am the happiest! Once upon a time, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However, once I started working at a clinic and got a taste of the field, I found that I wasn't actually interested in pursuing that after all. I then went on to work at an animal shelter, then a small daycare/boarding facility, back to the shelter, and then on to another daycare/boarding facility. I found that working with the dogs at the boarding facility filled my heart more than in the other places I have worked. I have then decided to pursue a career working with pets and would like to open my own boarding facility. I have completed the Fear Free Shelter training while I worked for the shelter and have earned a certificate of completion for that. I am currently working full time as a vet assistant at a local veterinary clinic and am learning new skills every day! I hope to one day take the skills I learn and move on to open my own business!

Alyssa took great care of our three dogs. She sent pictures and followed the care instructions. She left our home tidy and we arrived to find a doggie report card. Thanks again!

I currently do not have a fenced in yard so I will not be able to do boarding and daycare at my home. In a client's home I will follow any directions the owners leave me to care for their pets! I personally will do 100% supervision while the pet is outside with me.

Information Alyssa R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their personality, if they are aggressive or have certain quirks about them, are treats ok to give them, are there any medical things I need to be aware of, how often do they like to go out to go potty, etc.

A typical day

I LOVE going on hikes, walks around the neighborhood, and exploring different parks! The dog beach at Lake Michigan is one of my dogs' favorite places to go to burn off some steam! When I'm with the dogs, I try to work on manners and basic obedience like sit, door manners, and leash manners. Mental stimulation is key to exercising a dog along with the physical stimulation! :) Have a senior pet or a pet that doesn't like to move around too much? That's just fine because I am all about spending the day cuddling on the couch! I will do as much or as little exercise as your pet prefers to make their stay enjoyable!
