On Target Pet Sitting LLC was founded in November of 2020 by Alyssa Henderson. Alyssa runs On Target completely by herself so that owner and animal can create a connection with her and expect the same level of care each and every visit.
Alyssa's experience starts with dogs as she has owned dogs her entire life. On top of owning dogs, Alyssa volunteered with a dog rescue when she was a teenager and worked for a non-profit dog rescue. Alyssa has worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and breeds. With specialization in nervous or low confidence dogs.
Alyssa's equine experience started in 2013 when she started horseback riding lessons where she often volunteered her time grooming horses. In 2014 Alyssa's family moved to New Hampshire where she continued her passion with horses by working at the barn she was taking lessons at.
Since 2014 Alyssa has worked at multiple barns working with all sorts of ages, sizes, breeds, activity levels, etc. Throughout these barns, Alyssa has seen emergency cases such as lameness, colic, and choke. In 2019, Alyssa got her first horse Cruz, who has done nothing but help expand Alyssa's knowledge in care for horses involving maintenance and in emergency situations.
Alyssa also had a cat named Squeak who she sadly lost in 2017. Alyssa decided she did not want to get another cat but something else to help expand her knowledge of animals. Alyssa decided to get two ferrets named Bandit and
Taz.
Alyssa also has reptile experience as her sister had multiple reptiles (Leopard Geckos and a Bearded Dragon) who educated Alyssa on proper care as well as left them in Alyssa's care as she was moving.
