Dog lover with fenced yard
Pet care experience
I would love to take care of your fur baby! I live with my husband, my 5 year old black lab Oso, and 2 year old terrier mix Dulce. We don't have kids. I have experience working with puppies, dogs who take medication, and dogs who have activity/exercise restrictions due to breed or health conditions. We have a super dog friendly back yard with space to run and lots of dog toys.
Reviews
Alyssa is amazing! Maggie is a very high-energy dog and always comes home safe, happy and tired! Alyssa is a great communicator always sends photos and updates whether boarding or just for daycare to let me know how much fun Maggie is having. I can't recommend her enough!
Our dog has been to many different wonderful Rover sitters but Alyssa and her pups are still, and will always be, her favorite!! Alyssa is the absolute best and I recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area
Alyssa always good care of my dog! I am a repeat customer
Alyssa is a great sitter! We got regular updates throughout our long vacation and picked up a happy dog. Great experience!

Safety, trust & environment
Our backyard has a 6 foot privacy fence. Our dog Oso is very friendly and playful. He does not have an aggressive bone in his body. He is very submissive to other dogs. Dulce is also friendly and playful. She is also very small (15 lbs). Because of my dog Oso's submissive temperament, and Dulce's small size, dogs who are not socialized well or exhibit aggressive behaviors will not be a good fit for our home. Dogs who are overwhelmed by high energy playful dogs may also not be a good fit. This is the reason I require a Meet & Greet for all new clients.

Information Alyssa T. would like to know about your pet
Please do not request to book with me if your dog exhibits aggressive behavior. Minor issues can be managed, but I have zero tolerance for dogs who exhibit behaviors that may injure other dogs (e.g. biting - other than puppy play nibbling - or charging other dogs). Dogs who exhibit excessively destructive behavior are also not a good fit. Please let me know if your dogs has dietary restrictions, takes medication, or has activity restrictions, and I am happy to accommodate. Please tell me about your dog's personality and experience meeting other dogs. Please let me know if your dog has ever escaped or tried to escape from your home. Please tell me how your dog does walking on leash and if there are any issues I should be aware of. Please let me know what commands your dog knows. It is particularly helpful for me to know what your dog's bathroom command is. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions!
A typical day
I usually take my dogs for a walk on my lunch break and would love to take your pup along too. We have lots of toys for your pup to play with inside and outside too. Our backyard is very dog friendly. Sometimes we even have puppy pool parties!

Availability
***Please note, I require a Meet & Greet appointment for all new clients before I can provide Day Care or Boarding services. The Meet & Greet provides an opportunity for you to see where your dog will be staying and to ask questions. It also gives us a chance to let our dogs meet to see if they play together well. Please request services far enough in advance so that we can find a time for a Meet & Greet appointment before your date of services. Generally 1 week in advance will be sufficient. Day Care: I am currently working from home so I can supervise your dog all day! For daycare, please plan to drop off your dog between 7:00am and 8:45am, and pick up between 4:00pm and 6:00pm unless we make special arrangements. Please also plan to feed your dog before drop off and after pick up, if that works for your particular dog's schedule and nutrition needs. Otherwise, I am happy to make arrangements to feed your dog during the day. I will take your dog for a walk at lunch unless it is too hot, in which case we will do short play sessions in the back yard throughout the day with breaks in the a/c and plenty of water. If there is bad weather, I may not be able to walk your dog. Let me know if your dog cannot go on walks for health reasons or any other reason. Boarding: Your dog must be able to sleep in a crate or dog bed in order to board with us. Your dog will join us for playtime in the back yard and trips to parks around town. Your dog will get a walk for each boarding day unless you direct otherwise. If it is too hot or there is bad weather, we will do short play sessions instead of a walk, with breaks in the a/c.
