During Cookie’s stay, Alyssa kept us regularly updated with plenty of pictures. The pickup and drop off went smoothly as well. I highly recommend Alyssa for all your dog-sitting needs!”

About: Hi! I’m Anthony, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home! 🐾 I have a friendly, high-energy dog of my own who absolutely loves playing and interacting with other dogs, so your pup can have a built-in playmate during their stay. Of course, I always take each dog’s personality and comfort level into consideration—some dogs want to play all day, while others prefer their own space and plenty of relaxing time. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like they’re on a little vacation of their own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and time to relax in a comfortable home environment. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I’m big on communication. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. I’m especially excited to care for dogs who enjoy playing, being active, and having a canine companion around. Whether your dog wants to spend the day running around with my pup or curling up somewhere cozy, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog beforehand so we can make sure it’s a great fit! 🐶

“100% recommend booking with Aleisa! Trevor and her treated goose like he was their own dog and she went above and beyond to make Goose's experience a good one. Aleisa making premade frozen peanut butter kongs for Goose and her dog just shows how well prepared she is for any dog and the special care your dog will get staying with her! She also has her own dog that is super friendly and allowed for Goose to get his socialization and play out of his system. She sends updates of your dog walking, playing, sleeping, etc so you never have to worry about how your dog is doing. Great choice for your dog to stay at and highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of various kinds of dogs, ranging from large to small. Through house sitting with my mother when I was younger, I gained valuable experience and learned how to adapt to each dog's specific needs then. More recently, I have gained even deeper insight after getting a dog of my own and watching him grow from a small puppy into the big, 60-pound boy he is today. Through this, I have developed various approaches to managing dogs and creating a safe, fun environment for both the dog and myself. I myself have a very needy dog. His name is Danny he loves to be very wild, which has taught me various lessons on setting aside boundaries for the dog. Very well. He eats a organic diet mixed with his regular feed. He has various stress-tension toys which are kindred to his rough play style. He also gets vet visits often.

We needed an attentive home away from home for our dog, and Katrina and Scott provided the perfect place. We could tell from all of the great pictures and updates that our dog was having a good time and feeling loved.

I have booked Jaz as a walker due to surgery preventing me from walking my dog for a while. Because of her dependability, professionalism, and communication I also booked Jaz to board my dog in her home for a short vacation. She is set up to board beautifully, and my dog loves her and her family, which is really the true test of a person. I am so glad to find someone that I trust who does such a great job.
