About me
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. One of my favorite photos of myself as a child is me sitting with my dog and my bird on my shoulder, reading them a book — and honestly, that pretty much sums me up. Growing up with animals of all sorts, my love for them didn’t fade as I grew up; it only grew stronger. Today, I share my life with my own dog, Henry, and my cats, who remind me every day why I do what I do.
Professionally, I’ve spent the last 5 years working hands-on with dogs in a variety of settings. I started in doggie daycares, then ventured out to work as a dog walker for multiple companies. In California, I worked for an elite dog walking company where I regularly handled large group walks of 8–10 dogs, including structured dog park visits and exercise hikes.
Now that I’m back up north, I’m excited to be servicing Vancouver, Washington! I offer dog walks, check-in visits, twilight & dawn packages as well as the occasional boarding. I put my whole heart into caring for every pet as if they were my own. I understand the importance of finding the right fit for your furry friends!

Oh my goodness, Alyssa really is one of a kind...her love for
animals is unmatched. She loves each pet like they're her own and gives exceptional care to them. She didn't just walk them she took them on long walks in beautiful places and took the best photos! I would 1000x recommend Alyssa Hoch in any form of taking care of your pet. :)

I appreciated the attention to detail that Alyssa put for my dog
Charlie. Other dog walkers I have used did not ask what commands Charlie knows, what commands I would like to reinforce during walks, and if there are any bad habits I would like broken. It showed that she was focusing on helping me as an owner along with Charlie.

Alyssa really put my mind at ease while I was away. Bruno can
be a bit difficult and it is not always easy to find the right fit for him. She asked all of the right questions and sent me updates that showed he was truly in the right hands. Thank you!
