I love dogs and cats my vet has always commended me on how well I cared for my pets I am retired and home most days I can adjust my schedule to accommodate the owners request. I am very flexible and can adapt to whatever is needed I will house sit. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I will also care for cats I could care for them in my home as well.

“We found out last weekend that I would be having a c section this past Monday. Right away I messaged Alyssa to see if she would be available to do some drop ins on our two dogs and luckily she was! Alyssa is always so communicative, shares lots of pics, and shows our pups so much love. We will continue to have her watch our fur babes in the future for sure!”
About: While I don’t have professional pet care experience yet, I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more in my own home as well as for family. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with animals. I’m responsible, gentle, and treat every pet like family. As a Resident Assistant, I have a flexible yet busy schedule, but I always make time for pet care! I’m available most evenings and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I don’t have pets at home, so your dog will get my full attention. I’m careful on walks, stick to safe routes, and always follow your care instructions.

“We love Taylor! She was so easy to coordinate with and extremely reliable. She came for her drop-in visits every day during the time range we had agreed on, and sent thorough updates with cute photos. Gustav is often shy or hesitant around new people, but was immediately comfortable with her and gave lots of kisses. We're so happy to have found Taylor!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs of various shapes, sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have taken carenof cats, rabbits, and birds. I love getting to spend time with animals and their various personalities. I have patience and can accommodate their needs. I work evenings and overnights, but im available when everyone else seems to be at work. Even when I get off work, I like to go for late night strolls. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around. I also have water toys for the hotter months. I also have nice areas to walk around to ensure your pet explores the outdoors. My home is pet proofed to ensure they dont eat wires or get into things they shouldn't. There's plenty of space to explore :)
“Carrie did a wonderful job with her visits throughout the holiday weekend. She gave my needy Julius plenty of attention and managed to make somewhat friends with my very aloof Olive. Of course she was feeding her - ha ha. I would recommend Carrie and would book again!”

Linda H.
“Linda has been a longtime furry friend lover and caregiver. My husband and I enjoy when she stays with our teacup yorkie because Amora has become frail in her older age, yet still enjoys lots of attention and stimulation Linda spends so much time with her, which goes beyond fulfilling her basic needs. We are so grateful to have Amora in her care for the short and long durations of time that we are away. There is nothing better than peace of mind knowing that our baby girl is receiving loving and responsible care.”

Brittany showed up every day as scheduled and took care of the cat boxes, filling the food/water, taking care of our plants and even filling/cleaning our hummingbird feeders. She also included play time for those cats not to shy to come out and greet her. I will definitely use her again for my next vacation!
