I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available throughout the day, in the evenings, and on weekends, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent care, walks, and attention. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will get my full attention! Since I work from home, I’m almost always around and never leave dogs alone for long periods. I’m happy to stick to any routines your dog is used to and can crate them if needed. I also let dogs roam freely around my apartment so they can feel comfortable and play. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home!

Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your dog, here’s what I’d want to know: Routine: What’s your dog’s feeding and walking schedule? Health: Are there any health issues or medications I need to be aware of? Personality: Does your dog have any special behavioral traits or quirks? Exercise: How much activity or playtime does your dog typically need? Special Requests: Any specific things I can do to make them feel more comfortable? The more I know, the better I can ensure your dog has a safe and enjoyable stay!

A typical day

A typical day with your dog would be filled with fun and relaxation! We’d start the day with a walk around the neighborhood or a nearby park, where your dog can enjoy all the sights, sounds, and smells. If they’re up for it, we might even stop for a pup cup (with your permission, of course)! Afterward, we’d have some cozy downtime—whether that’s cuddling on the couch, playing their favorite game, or just hanging out and getting to know each other better. I’m committed to making sure your dog feels comfortable and happy, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos or messages throughout the day. I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions, whether it’s about feeding, exercise, or anything else. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I had the joy of caring for my sweet Yorkiepoo for 15 years, watching her grow from a playful pup to a wise senior. That experience taught me a lot about the needs of dogs at every stage of life. Whether it's an energetic puppy or a more laid-back senior, I’m always patient, calm, and ready to meet each dog’s unique personality. I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I treat every one like they’re family. I’d love the chance to offer your dog the same thoughtful care I gave my own!
