About Alissa

Experience: 7 yrs

For the past seven years, I have been a dog-walker for a company that serves the people of Short Hills, Milburn, and Maplewood. I went to each dog owner's house and spent about 30 minutes with their dogs to walk, feed and water, and play with them each day. I also documented each dog-walking session with notes for the client at the end of each session. When first meeting a new dog, I made sure to have a consult with the family to meet the dog and discuss any requirements, to ensure that the dog feels comfortable with me before taking him or her out. I have walked several breeds of dogs, from greyhounds and golden retrievers to Maltese and shih tzus. You name it, I've walked it! I have walked multiple dogs at once when needed, but I am happy to ensure walking individual dogs by themselves. Recently, I moved away and can no longer travel to Short Hills, which is why I'm looking to find work in Verona. I am eager to keep walking dogs because I am a huge dog-lover and I would like to keep spending my days with them!

Having Alissa walk my dog, Rascal, is a pleasure (both for him and for me). She is punctual, polite, friendly, and accommodating. Whenever I need her to help me out, she does her best to make it work. She's great with animals; Rascal is shy but friendly and opened up to Alissa quickly, but my cat, Eldridge (who usually hides from people), had warmed up to her by the third week she walked Rascal. I was shocked when she said she saw him and told me how sweet he is because most people don't know I even have a cat unless I tell them about him. Overall, I would recommend Alissa without reservation!
