About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals including but not limited to: exotic reptiles, cats, dogs, farm animals, senior pets, and disabled pets with mobility restrictions. Mondays-Thursdays: 8am-11pm Saturdays-Sundays: 8am-11pm My schedule may be altered in the case of emergencies and/or appointments. I am normally not available on Fridays, but and occasionally available after 2pm. First I like to get to know the owner and their pets and see how they interact. Usually pets are a little nervous around new faces, so I also like to let them get use to me and my smell before walking through their home. Then, while giving them their scheduled feedings and walks, I’ll keep them entertained and loved until their parents come home.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals - dogs and cats! Throughout the years, I have learned how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and understand that each animal has their own personality and needs. When caring for someone else’s animal, I treat them like my own. I make sure they feel loved, I am attentive, and I am patient with them. I am currently working a full time job. I have a lot of availability in the evenings after 4:30 and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do have a cat at home and I make sure he feels peaceful and comfortable at all times. I keep his feeding routine as consistent as possible - same feeding time, same type of food and litter, and any other special rituals he is used to.
About: I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life and have helped raise and care for family pets since I was a young child. I have also watched over neighbors and family pets of all breeds and ages for as long as I could do so on my own! I am adaptable and understand every animal is different in what they need! I'm currently heading back to university full time but i have a very open schedule! I will easily make time for anyone who needs a drop-in, walker, or any overnight care! I am unable to host any pets at my place. However, with any pet I watch at a clients home, I will make sure to get all the information I need for their furbaby to make sure they get the best experience!
About: I grew up in a household with cats and freshwater fish, I currently have one cat, and many freshwater fish and shrimp. One of my first "gigs" from a young was stopping in on neighborhood pets, letting them in or out, taking care of cat boxes, and putting out fresh food and water. I have some experience with aging pets. My cat, who I adopted three years ago, isalmost 17, and while still very active, requires special care for kidney disease. I love dogs too, and while I do not have any in my home currently, I am experienced or familiar with different types of training and walking. I can do water changes on freshwater aquariums, even for sensitive fish, and as long as you can provide care instructions, I can at a minimum feed your saltwater friends, and top off evaporation so the water does over salinated. I am currently self employed an set my own hours, as long as I am not booked for specific times with another pet, I can visit on your schedule. For pets staying in my home, they'll be given space and opportunities to interact with me and my cat. If necessary or requested, I do have a very large spare room that pets can be sequestered in with their own food, water, queen size bed, and litter box. At present, I'm not sure how my cat behaves with other animals, however to ensure your pet's visit is a safe and comfortable one, my cat will remain separate from visiting pets for at least the first 24 hours. I do have a side yard that is fully paved/gravel, and the gate does not always latch, as such any dogs staying with me will be indoors most of the time, with frequent "comfort" breaks/walks to avoid messes. I do allow pets on furniture/beds. Bedrooms will be closed during the day, but my room will usually be open at night. If doing drop in/walking checks: Each visit is largely up to the pet, of course dogs need to be let out to do their business, or in to shelter from our weather. If your fur baby wants to cuddle or play that's what we'll do, absent any special instructions (i.e. a dog with a medical condition that requires them to limit their running, or a cat that needs to be woken up for play time/exercise during the day). Even fish like to interact with their humans, and a change in routine or the arrival of a stranger can be stressful. At a minimum, your pet will get fresh food and water, be cleaned up after if needed, and for dogs ample outside time.

Alta Mira pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa was an absolute lifesaver! After a previous sitter canceled last minute, she stepped in on short notice to care for our cat, Sandy, while we were away for two weeks. She went above and beyond, providing daily updates, making sure Sandy was happy and well cared for, and even taking out the trash to prevent odors while we were gone. We came home to a content kitty and a clean space. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and thoughtful sitter!
Shelby is amazing! Our dog is a sweet boy but very reactive when he first meets people, and Shelby works with dogs enough that she knew how to handle him! Her report cards and photos were the highlight of my day while we were away from our boy! I personally would definitely use Shelby again as our sitter :)
