Part-time dogs best friend

Pet care experience

I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I also have always loved kids and have been babysitting since I was 9. I am outgoing, spontaneous, responsible, patient and affectionate. When I was younger I had 3 male dogs. Peluche was a maltepoo, Achilles was a weiner, and Chino was a Maltese. I fed them and took them on walks everyday after school. Unfortunately, Peluche died of a heart disease in 2009 and we cremated him. Then we moved and we had to give the other dogs away. From the ages of 12 to 14, I took care of the poodles that belonged to my neighbor that livednext door to my grandma in Hilmar, Ca. She knew me since I was a baby and I would always help you care for her poodles and help sell them. When I was 16 my mom got a dog and his name was Peke. He was a maltepoo as well and he was the love of my life. I loved bathing him, playing with him, training him, and sleeping with him. He was my buddy and he would wait for me at the window to see when I would get home from school. Unfortunately, we lived in an apartment and after 2 years neighbors complained and we had to let him go. I believe I would be a great dog sitter because I am very patient with children and dogs. I am responsible and I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks.

Alyssa exceeded our expectations. Our pets were very happy and well cared for when we arrived back home. We really enjoyed the pictures and videos that she sent us while we were away.

Alyssa was great house sitting with our dog. She was easy to contact and would send us daily video updates. We will definitely be going to Alyssa again when we need someone to watch Tyson!!

Alyssa is amazing! Our boys loved her from the start and she was really diligent with their care. She even helped with logistics when one of our guys ran out of food. I will definitely be calling her back for repeat services!

I would not be able to dog sit in my home. I can stay in anyones home for dog sitting and still provide necessities for myself.

Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet

I need to know their sleep schedules, what time do they get fed, do they need to take any medication, where are their toys, what parks/dog parks do they enjoy going to, where are their leashes, treats, poppy bags, if I need to watch out for certain rooms/items that they get into.

A typical day

I love to take dogs to the dog park if they have had experience being around other dogs of all sizes. I also like to train them to do a few tricks. If the people I am sitting for have a pool and allow the dogs to swim I have fun doing that as well. I walk dogs usually about 2-3 times a day depending on their energy level or however much their owners require them to. There are always so many toys to play with and play fetch.
