I always schedule meet and greets before bookings to learn about your pets’ specific needs and routines. This helps me understand how to properly care for them in your home, ensure they're comfortable with me, and give you peace of mind while you're away.

Information Lyssa A. would like to know about your pet

I listed some information I would like to know about your pets below. - Medical issues, medication or allergies. - Dog aggression, child aggression, or leash reactive. - Digging, jumping over fences and chewing activities. - Is there any sore spots or limping? - Do they like to hide out in a certain area of the home? I am willing to work with your fur child and feel like the only way to get the most out of the time I have with your dog is if we work as a team and have open communication.

A typical day

I love stimulating dogs both physically and mentally. Whether it's a brisk walk full of exciting neighborhood sniffs or playful engagement at home, your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and care. I believe in letting dogs be dogs—exploring, relaxing, and receiving all the pets they deserve.

Pet care experience

🐾 Passionate Pet Lover Ready to Pamper Your Fur Babies! Hi there! I’m an experienced and devoted animal lover with a lifelong passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. My journey with animals began in childhood—I’ve always rescued my pets and poured myself into learning everything I can about animal care and training. I've read extensively and used that knowledge to successfully train my own pup in commands like sit, stay, watch me, and leave it. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting with the kind of attentiveness and affection I’d give my own pets. Your fur babies will be safe, happy, and loved in my care. 🐶 Dog & Cat Care – Whether you need daily walks or weekend companionship, I’m here to keep tails wagging and purrs rolling. 🦎 Small Animal Boarding - I board small reptiles, rodents, and ferrets at $10/night. Drop-off required; this price will be manually added to your total. Let’s connect! I look forward to meeting you and becoming a trusted companion in your pet’s life.

Lyssa is amazing with my puppy and working around my ever changing schedule. She is always on time and I never have to worry about my pup. The pictures she sends of my puppy during the visits, my dog looks really happy. Glad I chose Lyssa out of all of the local people on Rover.

Lyssa has been absolutely wonderful with my mom’s dog, Satch. She stepped in to help after my mom’s knee surgery and made everything so much easier. Lyssa is caring, reliable, and clearly loves spending time with Satch—he always comes back happy and relaxed from their walks. My mom and Satch both look forward to her visits, and the updates and photos she sends are such a thoughtful touch. We can’t recommend Lyssa enough for anyone looking for a compassionate, trustworthy dog walker!
