Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and trust are my priority. For initial visits, we take things at your pet's pace to ensure they are comfortable. I make sure doors are secure after entering and leaving your home. I'm alert to your pet's health & behavior throughout our stay and only paw-rent approved treats are given. Each family's circumstances are different, so I will get familiar with them at our meet and greet and follow instructions accordingly. Each time, you will receive a detailed update about our visit or walk together!
Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or social triggers. I’ll be sure to stay consistent with any forms of training you are working on. It's my favorite getting to know your pet’s background, the story of how you adopted each other and why you chose their name!
A typical day
I'm a huge advocate for providing enrichment that your individual pets love- whether that's playing fetch, getting belly rubs, "hunting" for treats, or letting their nose guide us on our walks! At any rate, your pet will be tired and thus, happy, after our visit.

Pet care experience
I've loved dogs and all other animals since I was a kid. I’ve always said that I was born loving them and they have been a safe haven for me since childhood! I also became fascinated with obedience training dogs at a young age and would spend hours researching animal behavior. I trained my own German Shepherd and American Bulldog puppies when I was 14. Then, in 2018 I graduated as a certified dog trainer from Animal Behavior College. I have now been caring for pets professionally for almost three years. I have several years of experience administering oral and topical medication, and am able to administer insulin to dogs and cats as well. I have owned a bearded dragon and a turtle, and recently gained experience caring for adorable little bunnies and chickens so I am open to requests to care for small animals, birds and reptiles! I absolutely love any animal I meet and my focus is on building connections with fur babies and their families. 💕 I’m confident that I'm the passionate and caring dog walker/pet sitter you are looking for and look forward to meeting you and your babies! *Please note* Standard rates are *starting at and cover bookings scheduled Monday through Friday 8:00 AM-6:00 PM and Saturday's 1:00-6:00pm, within a travel distance of up to 5 miles. Unavailable: Wed 6:00–9:00 PM, Sat 9:00 AM–12:00 PM, Sun 12:00–3:00 PM Please check the calendar for availability. I completely understand that pets don't follow a 9 to 5 schedule! I'm happy to help with: - after-hours visits (outside standard times above, including Sunday's, +25%) - Locations beyond the 5-mile radius (separate, small travel fee based on your specific needs) 🤗🐾 Bookings needing both (fees simply add together)
