Pet care experience
My first pet and subsequent best friend was a beagle puppy named Patches when I was three. From a very young age I have been an animal lover and have never strayed. I grew up with dogs and other pets constantly around. I recently moved to St. Pete after a decade in Brooklyn where I also used Rover. I am looking to make some furry friends here until I eventually find my own.
Reviews
Leaving my fur babies anywhere for almost 4 weeks was hard to do, but Lyss made my boys feel perfectly at home and safe. She sent many photos and updates on how they were doing which made me know I had chosen the right pet-sitter. Peanut and Cashew look forward to spending time with her again ??
The best dog sitter!! Will recommend anyone. Was very friendly and my dogs love her
Hunter had a great time with Lyss. She took such good care of him and he’s not an easy dog. He seemed reluctant to leave when picked him up.
Lyss took excellrnt care of two little dogs I have. One, whose name is Odin, is extremely fearful and timid. He has never been away from me for any appreciable length of time. Lyss made him come out of his anxiety-ridden shell! I am very happy knowing the dogs were well-taken care of while I was away.

Safety, trust & environment
This is a wonderful opportunity for both of us to benefit! Feel free to reach out with any questions at all. I prefer to do meet & greets ahead of time when possible to make sure I am as good a fit for you as your pet will be for me.
Information Lyss D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know all of the special needs and preferences that your pet has before boarding. Sticking to their schedule is important to me.
A typical day
A typical day in my home I am playing jazz or something comforting. I enjoy going on walks so having a companion is great. My building has a dog park which is fun for furry friends who like to be social or don't prefer longer walks. I do typically tend to avoid other dogs while on a walk and only visit the dog park if it is empty. Even if your pet is friendly I prefer not to take any chances if another dog isn't! If I ever were to leave and couldn't take the pet with me (I do have a little car seat for transport) I have a pup camera that is on for when I am not home so that I know they are safe. I love to share photos and videos as well as daily updates. Of course if you are busy with work, or out of the country I am happy to tone those down to your specific need or send more if you are missing your pup. If I am doing a stay in your home I am also happy to keep up with daily maintenance and help with plant watering or whatever is needed to make you at ease during your trip. I am meticulously clean and organized and love to leave a place better than I have found it.

Availability
I work from home so i'm available 24/7 for walks or cuddles. I have my own apartment with no other pets and my building is conveniently located downtown with it's own dog park, grooming room, and is close to quiet trails and parks. The building also has an elevator which avoids tricky stairs.
