Pet care experience

I currently specialize in dogs and cats that take a little longer to warm up to new people and pets that need someone with a high attention to detail! Throughout my life I have had 2 rottweilers and a Havanese with my family. I personally owned a black lab who lived to be 16 and now currently own a French Bulldog who is 6. I have watched many friend's and family's pitbulls, lab mixes, golden retrievers and doodle mixes. I have been around dogs my entire life and frequented social settings/dog parks with my dogs so I can easily recognize anxious/stressed behavior in dogs. I would love to walk or watch your puppy and treat them like my own!

Alyssa was great! She took really good care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages. I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Alyssa has been my best friend for many years, and I’ve seen firsthand how caring and responsible she is with animals. She is a dedicated dog owner of a French Bulldog named Archer who she gives all of her attention and love to every day. Alyssa is incredibly trustworthy, patient, and genuinely loves all furry friends. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.

How’s this: I have a Havanese that is 14 years old. He likes to go for walks, but does not walk very fast. He enjoys sniffing every area of his walk. Alyssa is always patient and gentle when handling him. She is attentive to his needs, and carries him when he tires. She handles larger dogs with the same attention. You can rest assured that she will be on time and have your dog’s needs at the forefront of her care.
