Description:

Hello, I'm Alyssa Buer, the proud proprietor of BABS K9. In June 2018, I embarked on a journey and established my personal business that specializes in dog walking and pet sitting, delivering top-notch pet care services with a unique Dog Walking With A Training Twist* for reactive dog walks.

Over the years, I've obtained a wealth of hands-on knowledge and experience in dog behavior, socialization, and training since 2011. My experience at an animal shelter, managing a dog daycare in a training facility, assisting in CPDT-KA dog trainer-led training classes, attending dog training classes with my personal dogs, enrolling in workshops/seminars with respected dog trainers, and reading training/behavior books have made me versatile for each dog's unique needs and adaptable in our ever-changing world.

As a one-woman show, I am a full-time, fully insured, highly skilled, safety-oriented, and Pet First Aid+CPR certified business owner. I am passionate about my small business and delivering optimal care and an overall positive and calm experience for each dog/pet, from the initial meet & greet to the moment I leave my client's home.

I am skilled in handling and training a variety of canine personalities, adding training to each walk for an all-inclusive experience that helps keep your pup's mind sharp, overcome fears, and build a trusting bond between the dog and myself. Additionally, I am well-versed in caring for different pet types, from cats and birds to reptiles and small animals.

I firmly believe that transparency is essential in my line of work, and I strive to maintain close communication with each client to ensure their peace of mind. I am highly intuitive and observant of even the slightest changes in a pet's habits or demeanor. Rest assured; I will inform my clients of anything they may need to know, good or bad.

Please note that for the safety of all parties, all walks are strictly on-leash, and I do not offer boarding services.

Our rescue dog, who reacts strongly to certain situations, has greatly benefited from the expertise and compassion of Babs k9. Her understanding of our pup's needs and behaviors related to anxiety has helped us deal with them effectively. We feel fortunate to have found such a competent and caring dog walker, who not only helps our dog but also earns our appreciation and love.

For quite some time now, she has been a part of our team and there are not enough positive remarks that I can make about her. She has a true passion for animals and never fails to provide them with exceptional care. Her attention to detail is remarkable and her work ethic is impeccable. I strongly endorse her for all pet care services.

Alyssa's wealth of practical knowledge is evident in her exceptional work with my pets, in particular my dog who can sometimes come off as intimidating. I first crossed paths with her at a former dog care center where she co-taught Good Manners training sessions and managed the daycare facility my pup frequented. After its closure, I was fortunate enough to secure her as a dog-walking assistant. What sets Alyssa apart is her genuine bond with animals. She easily forms connections with them, and my pet is no exception. She has a keen ability to read my dog's body language, allowing her to tailor her approach to him. For instance, she understands that some dogs, like mine, prefer not to be smothered with hugs and kisses. Instead, she engages him with activities that are both stimulating and constructive, while maintaining proper authority and order. This delicate balance is key; not all trainers have the same instinctive approach. I have complete trust in Alyssa, and I couldn't envision anyone else caring for my dog, birds, and fish or dealing with the challenges posed by my stubborn German Shepherd. I sincerely hope that she continues to work in this field for a long time.

. Having Alyssa to walk my dogs brings me great relief as a protective dog mom to three distinct dogs. Among them, two are 75 pounds, and one is 7 pounds. With Alyssa's expertise and proficiency in handling various behavioral needs, I am grateful for having someone I can rely on to take care of them.
