Dog cuddles are the best cuddles.
Pet care experience
My family and I have taken care of neighbors and friend's pets since I was a teenager. I am trustworthy and responsible and work as a social worker as my day job - it's very stressful for a dog or cat to be away from it's owner, and I care a great deal about making sure animals are comfortable and well taken care of.

Reviews
Lyss was amazing - extremely thoughtful about pet care and what situations are good or bad for my dog; she thought of everything. You should absolutely hire her!
Lyss did great with my quirky poodle and my shy rabbit. She was also an excellent house guest. Thanks, Lyss!
Lyss is a very reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her for any pet-related needs. She provides high-quality care for pets and truly cares about her work. I will be using her for all my future pet needs!
About Lyss R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Communication is key and not just about your pup or cat, but also your home! Although, I'm unable to care for pets in my home as I am currently caring for a bird, I always strive to respect people's homes and their spaces. Ensuring cleanliness and safety of the home environment are also hugely important to me as a sitter.
Information Lyss R. would like to know about your pet
It's important to know how your pup gets along with other animals, and how they get along with pet sitters/strangers and if there are specific things to note such as medications or other special needs. It can be nice to meet your pup ahead of your trip, so there can be a smooth transition after your departure.
A typical day
Depending on the dog's age, activity level, and owner's comfort level, I love to take dogs out for regular walks. I love being outdoors, so I try to take dogs out as much as possible. Some favorite walking spots include Red Rocks, the Burlington Bike Path, Mt Philo, and Farrell Park.

Availability
I currently am working full-time Monday-Friday so I would be best suited to take care of cats or dogs who can stay home for a little while. I am available evenings and have open availability on weekends for all services. In terms of walking gigs, I am available any weekday after 430 pm and any time during the weekends.
