Professional dog walking and pet sitting with genuine love for every pup. Because your furry family deserves someone who cares as much as you do.
I found my way to the shelter, and something that had always been a passion became a purpose. Every week I take shelter dogs on enriching field trips β helping them burn energy, explore new places, and just be dogs.
That passion led to my Shelter Dog Handling Certificate and RECOVER Pet CPR certification (in progress) β and eventually to building a business around something that brings so much light into my life. That same care and attention is what I bring to every client's pup!
Positive reinforcement only β because it works better, and it's kinder.
Even if you have a backyard, dogs need to explore the world through their nose.
I still volunteer weekly β and I spotlight shelter dogs on my blog.
Every service is tailored to your pet's needs β because no two furry friends are the same.
Neighborhood walks with plenty of sniff time. All sizes welcome β from tiny pups to gentle giants.
In-home visits for dogs who just need a potty break, play session, or some company while you're out.
Feeding, litter box, playtime, and cuddles (if they're into that). Kitten care available too!
Potty breaks, socialization, and play for your youngest family member. Same rates as dog walking.
Oral medication, insulin shots, senior care β I follow your vet's guidance to the letter.
Photos and a quick recap after every walk or visit, so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
They lead the way and explore at their own pace. Sniffing is enrichment!
Brain games that keep them thinking and engaged during our time together.
Calm, focused engagement β perfect for winding down after an active outing.
On-leash explorations with new sights, sounds, and smells to discover.
Sit, stay, focus work β positive reinforcement naturally built into our walk.
Quiet cuddles and calm energy after activity. Every dog needs a cool-down.
Every week, I take shelter dogs on enriching field trips β helping them burn energy, explore new places, and just be dogs. Here are some of the amazing pups I've spent time with.
This is the closest I've come to whisking a pup away! She adored the park, especially rolling in the grass. 10/10!

See All Shelter Dogs"I have known and worked with Alyssa for 6+ years. In that time I have come to know her both professionally and personally. Her love for animals comes through on a daily basis and sparks great conversations on pet life, animal care, and many pictures of the four legged friends she had met over the week. Alyssa is an extremely dedicated and passionate employee that strives to make her fellow associates work day as fun and stress free as possible. Alyssa prides herself not only on the quality of her work but the wellbeing of all others around her wether they be human or animal she will make sure they are happy, healthy, and as stress free as possible. Alyssa has not only earned my respect but also my trust with my own pets or children."
"I've known Alyssa for years now. She's always been kind, respectful, and dependable. She's hardworking, patient, and genuinely caring, especially when it comes to animals. I know she would treat any pet with love, attention, and responsibility, and I'd absolutely trust her to care for mine."
"Ali is the absolute best!! She loves animals and is a very caring person! She's the perfect fit for animal caregiving!! I love her!!"
"Alyssa is such a joy to know! The love and care she puts into being educated, steady, and supportive for each pet is astounding. I've never seen anyone so amazing with animals! She's always communicative and a great person to call when you need someone reliable!"
"I've known Ali for years, and during that time, her passion for animals has always stood out. She loves everything from hamsters to sharks, and that hasn't changed. This is why it's no surprise that she fits perfectly in this field. Many times, she has watched my energetic cat and elderly dog while I was away. She was always attentive, caring, and respectful. Ali is a joy to be around. She has an easy smile for everyone and is one of the most reliable people I've had the pleasure of knowing. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter or walker."
"It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Alyssa German. She is truly one of the most compassionate, dependable, and kind hearted people I know. She is the embodiment of sunshine and goodness, and she consistently goes above and beyond for anyone (human or animal) who needs care, support, or love. Alyssa has a genuine passion for dogs and animal welfare that shines through in everything she does. I have no doubt that she would make a meaningful impact on the lives of the animals and people she serves. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation."
"Alyssa has a heart of gold and a real love for animals. I trust her implicitly with my dogs and cats, and they adore her. She is very attentive to their moods, taking great care to give each animal what it needs. You could not find a better caregiver for your furbaby!"
