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 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!
Alyssa was awesome! Super responsive, responsible and kind. I’d love to book her again!

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.
