UES Dog Care in a Loving Home 🐾

I’ve cared for my own senior dog for 13+ years, which has given me extensive experience with patience, consistency, and understanding different needs as dogs age. I’ve also watched pets for friends and family over the years and truly treat every dog like my own. Growing up surrounded by animals helped me develop a natural comfort and love for caring for pets.

Alyssa was such a great caretaker of my little pup Opal (she's a senior gal now but will also be my pup) Our pups got along well together and it was reassuring to know Opal was getting all the proper care while we were on vacation overseas. Whenever you're gone for an extended amount of time, it's always natural to worry about your fur baby... But with Alyssa, that worry was extremely minimal. It was great to see Opal in great spirits across her entire stay. I highly recommend Alyssa's services to anyone who wants the best for their doggos!

I’ve used Alyssa’s services twice now for overnight pup care, and she’s fabulous. We’ll definitely book with her again.

Alyssa was great with my dogs and very pleasant and efficient when coordinating drop off and pickup. She was thoughtful as well about communicating how the dogs were doing when in her care.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I live in a secure elevator building with a doorman, which adds an extra layer of safety and convenience. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I’m experienced with senior dogs and comfortable administering medication if needed. I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, happy, and mentally engaged while they’re in my care, with relaxed neighborhood walks that let them explore and sniff at their own pace, and if it’s a good fit and owner approved, trips to Carl Schurz Park for fresh air and a change of scenery. I also spend time playing with their favorite toys, and of course plenty of belly rubs and affection, while making sure to balance all that activity with calm time so they feel comfortable, safe, and truly cared for.
