Pet care experience

Active and caring animal lover

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I do have more experience training and working with smaller dogs, as my childhood dogs were Pomeranian mixes. However, I have cared for larger dogs (ie. Portuguese water dogs, golden doodles, pitbull mixes). As a dog walker, I’ve worked with two retired Portuguese water dog champions on a lead. I personally only trained one puppy at a young age and cared for two larger senior dogs.

Thanks to Alyssa for giving me peace of mind and being available during the holiday season. I was able to enjoy my family time knowing John Cougar had good company and care as usual.

Alyssa is really great with my cat John Cougar. She provides excellent pictures of their playtime routine, and detailed information about his food area and litter box status. She is consistent and dependable. I always feel assured my little guy is well cared for by Alyssa when I am away.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 10, 2025

Alyssa was a wonderful sitter for my cat John Cougar. She provided timely and entertaining updates about her drop-in visits, complete with detailed information and excellent photos. I felt assured that my little guy was getting excellent attention and care while I was away. I hope I can use Alyssa's services again in the future for my extended travel days.

Schedule

I currently work from home so I have time to take your puppy out for potty breaks, walks and play time. Due to my work flexibility, I’m available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I do coach soccer, during which time I may be out of the house for 3-4 hours at max, but I will let you know when and if I ever need to step out of the house with or without your puppy. I also occasionally travel for work from Sundays-Thursdays, but I will have advanced notice of those travel days.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I am in my own home, or in my clients’ homes, I am very attentive and keep a keen eye on your pets’ behaviors and noises they make. If there is any sense of discomfort or illness, I will do whatever I can to comfort your pet based on their behaviors and keep an open communication line with all my clients.

Pets

A typical day

I love to keep pets active whether that’s playing with them indoors, or getting outside and going for a walk/hike. There’s a dog park nearby that I can take your dogs to for a social outlet and explore new smells.

Let me know if your pet has special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference is for small to mid-size breeds due to the size of my apartment, but I’m open to caring for all breeds of dogs.
