Lovable Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of all animals for my entire 25 years of life, and professionally for about 4 years. I go above and beyond for any and all animals and will put their care and happiness above all else. I’ve been a manager at a facility with 150+ dogs knowing all names, personalities, and special behaviors of each and every pup. I’ve administered majority of medication ranging from insulin to vitamins. I have also worked at a medical vet clinic and have been pet cpr certified!

Alyssa was great with our dog Lucy. She seemed to bond with her nicely during the stay and also treated our house very well! We'll reach out to Alyssa again when we're out of town without the pup, highly recommend

Once again Alyssa goes above and beyond watching our dogs! We use her every time we go out of town and know for sure our pups are in great hands. Thank you, Alyssa!!!

Another fantastic experience with Alyssa. I’m almost nervous leaving a review because everyone is going to want you to watch their pets too!! Thank you so much for giving our two pups all of your love and care. Fingers crossed you’re available next time we need a dog sitter. Alyssa = THE best!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live with 2 cats but I do have my own space in my house to separate if needed. I have an average sized fenced yard but I have access to a park around the corner from me & another park a short 5 minute drive away. I work with animals who are crate trained and who aren’t so if they need to sleep in bed with me or next to me I have no issues. If your pet is more comfortable and will experience less anxiety being in their own home, I can also accommodate as well!

Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special personality quirks, what will make them sad/scared and what will make them happy/excited! Where their favorite spot to be scratched & their preferred nickname (cannot guarantee I will not make up my own). If they do well in social settings etc. Please also let me know if any food allergies & dietary restrictions and any medications the pup is on!

A typical day

Whether you have a complete lazy snuggle bug who just wants to lounge around & watch movies all day & do the bare minimum of walking we can do just that! Or if your pet is ready to get them steps in and go exploring the local parks and nature! Can even take them to a dog friendly beach if they are feeling sticking their paws in the sand!
