Information Alyssa Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I have experience giving oral medication, supplements and any other requirements your dog needs. My preference is to have a meet and greet to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog.

A typical day

I will ensure your dog is stimulated physically and mentally. We’ll play a bunch of games and check out new smells in my neighborhood. Your dog will get plenty of walks and exercise!

Alyssa & Jon’s Waging Tails - WFH

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alyssa and I’m a huge animal advocate! I have owned and trained dogs throughout my life and I'm very passionate about animals. I provide excellent service, quality pet care, clean and enjoyable atmosphere for your pet. I will provide your pet with multiple walks throughout the day, meals and medication if applicable. My husband, Jon and I both work from home Monday-Friday. You get two sitters for the price of one. No matter what, your dog will have company & plenty of snuggles. Can't wait to meet your pet!

Alyssa and Jon were great. Constantly sending pictures and updates which made us feel at ease. It seemed like our pup felt right at home with them. Would 100% recommend and book again!

Alyssa and her husband are fantastic with my 13 yr old corgi Yoshi. This is their second time watching her and it was another great experience. They asked a lot of thoughtful questions up front that validated what great care they would take of my dog. They also sent through many videos and photo updates throughout the stay to reassure me that she was doing well. I know my dog is always very comfortable and well taken care of with Alyssa and her husband!

These two were amazing & accommodating. They kept me updated on my pupper and I could tell when I picked him up that he had a very good time and got plenty of attention and love.
