Life-long dog lover

Pet care experience

Hello there, I'm Alyssa. I'll love your dog as much as I love my own. If there are any special requests or routines for your fur baby I am happy to accommodate. I've had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I've started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes and breeds as well as cats. I've also had my dog Elvis since he was a puppy and he's now a senior dog living a very happy and even I must admit, spoiled life.

Alyssa has been an amazing and reliable dog walker/sitter for my dog, Obi, so many times! Obi is a medium sized mutt with some reactivity toward other dogs and she is able to manage him on walks without issue. She clearly has a love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Obi gets so excited when he sees her!

Alyssa assisted me with my fourteen-year-old Bichon Frise, Sammy until he passed away at the age of fifteen with Stage 3 kidney disease. She was patient with his aging needs and even invited her friends over to visit him. I know Alyssa and her friends became Sammy's emotional support. I rescued Ziggy, a Coton de Tulear, eight months after Sammy passed away. Ziggy has required extra care since he is a rescue dog and did not have a human touch until he moved in. Ziggy is brilliant, active and constantly wants to play catch for hours. Thankfully, Alyssa is patient and plays many hours with Ziggy. I am lucky Alyssa continues to play a big part in my furry friends' lives.

Alyssa cared for our Lily. Lily was an older Shih Tzu and was very nervous. Alyssa dealt really well with all of her needs. Our poor Lily did not have very much teeth left in her mouth and Alyssa saw to her special dietary needs. We rescued Lily from a house that had small children and she was very anxious. She did not like storms, fireworks, or any loud noises Alyssa was able to comfort her while we were away. Alyssa handled Lily like she was her very own child and was loving and understanding.

I live in a three bedroom townhouse with my dog and my roommate's dog. Both are very friendly with other dogs and love to play around. One dog is very low maintenance and a bit of a lazy bone, the other one has a whole lot of energy. So I'm very much used to a variety when it comes to different dogs' temperaments.

I currently have a lot of weekends free and I love getting out and walking around town when I have free time, so why not have the companionship of a furry friend by my side.
