Hi there! I’m Alyssa — a lifelong animal lover, coffee enthusiast, and proud pet parent. My heart has always belonged to animals. I grew up snuggling with our family Rottweilers (Greta, Mugs, and Ossa) and now share my home with two lovable giant breed Swiss Mountain Dogs, Kimber & Fiona. I have years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. From my furry best friends Kimber & Fiona, to cats, parrots, chickens, horses, sheep, and even fish. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a feathered friend, I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and needs. As a fellow pet owner, I know how important it is to feel confident that your animals are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to be responsible, reliable, and fully dedicated to keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching in your absence.
“Alyssa is amazing! Responsive, reliable and most importantly our puppy loves her. ”

My goal is always to make sure your children feel happy, supported, and secure while you’re away.
Hi My name is Melinda, What I like most about childcare is being able to make a positive impact on a child’s day. I enjoy seeing their personalities shine as they grow and learn. It’s rewarding to know I can provide comfort, encouragement, and structure while also creating fun, memorable moments.” I’m comfortable with pets and in my past nannying jobs I’ve done food prep, light household chores and picking up And dropping off children. On a few occasions I’ve stayed with the kids as well at there activities which o love doing. I miss the days of my daughter playing sports and dance sessions. Looking forward to creating new experiences.
