I've always loved working with Pet Parents on making sure their furry companions are taken care of when they are away. I work with many repeat clients that require weekly Drop-In Visits for potty breaks and some much needed playtime & even 30 min walks (about 1 mile).
​
I also open my home for Doggy Daycare for when Pet Parents seek a place where their beloved pooch can feel like they are at a home away from home. I have a chihuahua/rat terrier of my own -- small 10lbs, but mighty! He LOVES dogs of all sizes and enjoys lots of playtime.
I always do a complimentary meet & greet first to make sure we are the right fit for you and your furry companion!
Here's a bit about me and my services:

My furbaby, Archie​
TESTIMONIALS
“Alyssa is a great dog watcher/sitter. She took a chance with my escape artist and has been a huge help for all of us. Oakley has some separation anxiety so it helped a lot when she comes and plays/walks him for 30 minutes when me and my husband work all day. Overall, she has been a huge help. And it seems to help Oakley a lot not to be completely along in the house."

"I would absolutely recommend The Balanced Companion. After two meet and greets between our dogs, I fully trusted the care for my dog for two weeks. I received daily updates with pictures and videos. Knowing my dog would receive the same care, attention, and exercise made The Balanced Companion the right decision for us."
Shirley, (Jeune's Mom)
"Alyssa did a fantastic job taking care of Maisey for the weekend. She sent frequent updates so I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that our girl was safe and loved. Maisey also enjoyed having a friend around and came home happily tired from all the playing she did with Archie! We'll definitely be back!"
Molly, (Maisey's Mom)
"Alyssa has gone above and beyond for my furbaby! She communicates well, responds in a timely manner, and send me updates of her visits. I appreciate her help throughout the work week, and so does my Great Dane. She has easily become an important part of my little animal family, and her hard work does not go unnoticed."
Brooke, (Raider's Mom)
"Alyssa cared for our 3 fur babies for 10 days and it was one of the best experiences with a pet sitter we have had, so good she is now our go to sitter for the future. She is professional, pays attention to detail, affectionate, patient and so loving. She made sure to give us two daily updates with pictures and video as well as any changes or differences she noticed. We have a very shy, defensive kitty who even warmed up to her, a true feat with our special one. She went above and beyond when the weather was less than optimal for our drama queen to have a potty break by staying and waiting patiently for her to get a chance to go outside. She treated our gang like they were her own. I highly recommend anyone needing a sitter to book Alyssa. She is a 5 star person and caregiver"
