Availability
Pet care is a part of my daily life. I work from home, which means your pet will rarely be left alone. I offer a "presence-heavy" environment where your dog can nap at our feet while I work or enjoy frequent play breaks in between meetings. Because I am available all week, including weekends, I can provide a consistent routine.

About Alessia M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my priority. In my home, I maintain a "paws-on-the-ground" policy, ensuring the environment is pet-proofed and free of hazards. When walking or visiting your home, I am hyper-vigilant about leash safety and surroundings. I believe in clear communication and will provide you with frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how they are doing. Whether we are playing in the living room or out for a stroll, I focus on positive reinforcement and maintaining the specific boundaries and schedules you’ve already established for your pet.

Information Alessia M. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care possible, I’d love to know: Behavioral Quirks: How do they react to other dogs, cats, or loud noises (like sirens or thunder)? Health & Diet: Any specific allergies, medication schedules, or "hidden" treats I should avoid? Walk Etiquette: Are they a "puller" on the leash, or do they have a favorite route? Comfort Zones: Do they have a specific spot they like to sleep, do they jump on furniture?
A typical day
Our days are structured around companionship and movement. A typical morning starts with a walk to get the energy out before we "log on" for work. Throughout the day, your pet will enjoy a calm environment with plenty of head scratches and toy play during my coffee breaks. In the afternoon, we head out for a longer walk. The day is filled with consistent attention, ensuring your pet feels relaxed, supervised, and never lonely while you’re away.

Pet care experience
Growing up in Italy surrounded by dogs, I developed an early and bond with animals. Up until a couple of years ago, I had a large dog, that I trained from puppy age. I understand the specific patience, strength, and confidence required to handle dogs safely. Whether it’s managing high energy on a walk or providing a calm environment for a senior pet, I treat every animal as if they were my own family. I am comfortable with basic training reinforcement and am highly attentive to behavioral cues, ensuring your pet feels understood and secure in my care.
Reviews
Alessia was great with Rocky. She sent pictures and keep me updated. I could tell Rocky had the best time!
I’ve known Alessia for many years now, and she has always been my go-to dog sitter for my dog since he was a puppy. She is dependable, attentive, caring, and genuinely a very good person. Plus, my dog absolutely loves her. I trust Alessia and will continue to go to her whenever I’m out of town and need a safe place for my dog. It makes me so happy to see her joining Rover so other people (and furry friends) can now rely on her too. I would recommend Alessia to anyone needing a dog sitter!!
I highly recommend Alessia! If you need someone who's trustworthy and cares, she's a solid pick. She's sweet, patient, communicative, responsible, and good with details. She’s watched my two senior pups on numerous occasions and i never have to worry when they are with her. Despite how difficult they can be Alessia handles them like a pro. In fact, my chihuahua has become extremely attached to her.
