I’ll love them like my own!

Pet care experience

I am a veterinary assistant, animals are my passion. I have been volunteering at animal shelters since a young age so I am very experienced with all different breeds and temperaments. I’ve also been having dogs and cats my whole life. I have a nice blasting AC to keep the animals cool and doggy pool outside if they enjoy swimming. If they do not know how to swim, I offer lessons, however if worried about drowning I can easily accommodate by fencing off the pool area. I have a German shepherd mix that loves other animals and people. He keeps me busy so you can catch me at the dog park, on a nice long hike/walk, or commuting to the lake to hear the waves and swim with my dogs. I work part time and going to school from home, thankfully my boyfriend helps me in between so I’m pretty much always available for bookings with the extra help. I start my days pretty early and end early but late on weekends. I have a large fenced in yard. My dog is free roaming all day and sleep inside with me at night. However I can crate during feeding times if necessary. I have an extra crate and plenty of snacks, treats, and toys. I am an army veteran, I can offer special discounts for other vets or military just message me about it.

My dogs had a great stay with Alyssa. She sent us pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing daily. They were taken on walks and allowed to run around. They do get a little dirty due to the area, but I know they had fun just being dogs. I was nervous at first because one of my dogs is a bit protective and barks at new people but she handled it well and just in a few minutes my dog was comfortable with her. Overall, my dogs were happy and healthy and that’s what matters! (: thank you!

Alyssa was sweet and nice and super caring to me and my dogs. My dogs were immediately happy to see her and I could tell they had a good time when I came back. They did not want to leave her.

Safety, trust & environment

I wake up pretty early usually, as soon as I get up I take all the dogs out to the restroom outside. I clean their bowls and refill the gravity water bowl. Then I separate all dogs with their specific bowls and make their food, give them the first meal of the day as I cook my own breakfast. Then I take them on a nice walk to start the day off right in nature and walk off the food. I spend a couple hours doing my schoolwork from home then play with the dogs outside to get them a little tired for dinner. I feed the dogs again, let them outside for a couple hours under my supervision and then bring them all back inside when it's time for bed most days.

Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to be informed about aggressive behavior or dangerous temperaments. Also if they are a new rescue, I have worked with rescues and would want to accommodate accordingly. Any special diets or allergies. Usual routine, energy/exercise level and feeding schedule. Most importantly any medication they may need and the name and number of their primary veterinary.

A typical day

I like to go on nice long walks, usually 2 miles or more. My dog loves to swim so we go to the beach, lake and rivers a lot. I give my boys a lot of snacks, treats and bones but I like to make it a game or stimulating to the brain somehow. I also have a small doggy pool for them to cool off.
