Pet care experience
I have been working professionally with animals since I was 16 (12 years). I started out at my local shelter, then worked at a pet store, dog grooming salon, doggie day care, and then became a certified dog trainer. After that I started working with exotic animals. I worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center as well as a tiger and lion rescue. Most recently I worked at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago before moving to Tacoma to work in conservation. I have experience with reactive dogs as well as dogs with special needs and medication requirements. I am also very comfortable with birds, reptiles, and small & furry pets.
Reviews
Alyssa was very timely, communicative, and provided tons of photos of our babies that made us feel at ease. Thanks Alyssa!
Alyssa was fantastic. She was able to watch my girl on super short notice, was professional, and great at communicating! I loved getting pictures of my pup while I was away and felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands
Alyssa was very responsive and adaptive to our pet-sitting needs. We are grateful to have had a good first time experience with her as a pet sitter
Alyssa was everything I wanted and needed AND MORE! Wonderful communication, such a sweet inviting personality for my fur baby and very accommodating which made for a lovely, stress-free experience. 100/10 would recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog as well as a dog-friendly cat in my home. I provide multiple walks a day as well as lots of play time. I will love your animals as if they were my own and send you multiple photos and updates each day so you can be reassured while away from your furry family. I offer add on services like nail trimming, baths, and teeth brushing for an additional charge. I also offer home cleaning services if you would like me to clean up pet hair before your return home from a trip.
Home
Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know their routine and any allergies they have. I will also need to know if they have any triggers or things they just don’t like. I also want to know their favorite treats and things they love!
A typical day
I go on new routes for every walk so they can experience lots of new smells. I also love taking dogs to the local pet store to pick out their own treat or to a coffee shop for a pup cup if you’re okay with that. I also frequently go on hikes in Pt Defiance.

Availability
I work remotely from home and have a lot of free time for potty breaks, snacks, and play time throughout the day. I take my dog to the local pet store to pick out his own treat every Friday and on Mondays we stop in at a coffee shop for a dairy free pup cup. I’d love to take your pups on these adventures too if it’s right for them.
