Pet care experience

Full Time Dog Lover!

Ever since I was three years old I have been surrounded by animals. I have bred and raised dachshunds as a family hobby for 10 years! With this experience, I have developed a huge love for dogs and an intuitive feeling for what they need. I have helped deliver puppies, hand fed newborns, given vaccines, potty trained puppies, and done basic grooming. I can handle all sizes and all personalities of dogs. Furthermore, I can handle leash-pulling, high jumping, and excessive barking dogs. During my undergrad years in college, I worked at the university veterinary hospital in the ICU unit. I am currently located in Columbia, Missouri.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a big believer is sticking to the animal’s schedule and keeping an open line of communication. I am very flexible with unique needs and circumstances.

Loved that she did a meet-and-greet beforehand to get to know our pets before we needed them watched, and she even offered to water some plants for us! Would highly recommend.

Alisa has been an amazing walker. Super reliable, attentive, happy to help, and super caring with our pets! She's been taking care of the pups for about a year and has done a fantastic job. Highly recommend!!

Alisa is wonderful! We highly recommend her. We came home and our pets acted as if we hadn’t even been gone. That is a first!

It was my first time using Rover, so I was a bit anxious. Alisa provided great care for my dogs while I was out of town. I came home to clean litter boxes and full water bowls.

Please let me know if your pet is currently being/already trained and thus has certain commands that I need to reinforce. Allergies, triggers, and medications is also helpful information.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
