Pet care experience

Local, Reliable Loving Pet Care

As a retired law enforcement officer, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and responsibility. I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years through dog walking and pet sitting, and I truly treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, seniors, and pets with special routines or medications. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, vacation care, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I pride myself on excellent communication, punctuality, and giving every pet the love and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

trust, responsibility, and attention to detail are at the heart of everything I do. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I’ll ensure your home is respected and secure during every visit, mail and packages will be taken in and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Alissa A. is that one in a million, rae person that your pets will instantly adore! I think that they sense right away that she is a genuine animal lover. My dog and three cats LOVE her! (Even my black cat, Lucy, who doesn't like anybody.) Alissa treats every pet like they are the most special good boy or girl in the world! She is enthusiastic, energetic and joyful. Pets can recognize that right away. Best of all, Aissa is trustworthy, reliable and dependable. She is undaunted by poop or pee and if your pet needs playtime, they will have found a willing playmate. She is also attentive to any dietary or special needs that your pet may have. She has never let me down. I give her a rating of a thousand purrs and skillionty tail wags.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alissa was absolutely amazing with our pets! From our first meeting, we knew they were in great hands. She was professional, kind, and incredibly reliable. She sent us updates and photos after every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog warmed up to her immediately, and even our shy cat came out to spend time with her—a true testament to her patience and love for animals. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly, left our home spotless, and treated our pets like family. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be booking with Alissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

Alissa was excellent and reliable caring for my two dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She took care of my home and kept my needy pets happy which is a hard task. I highly recommend her, and I wouldn’t use anyone else!

We couldn’t be more pleased with Alissa. She’s excellent in every way. I have a difficult situation with my sickly dogs, and she swoops in and handles everything like she was made to do it! A complete blessing!

She is a wonderful human being and the best pet sitter. She has always been there reliably, going above and beyond, taking care of the house and spoiling my pets, sending pictures and loving on my dogs so much, that they literally freak out when they see her they’re so excited. She has some serious connection and intuition and I can say I really lucked out having her as a sitter

Schedule

Pet care is my priority, so I maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate my clients’ needs. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, vacation care, or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to be available. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I work hard to keep their schedules as normal as possible while you’re away. I communicate promptly and provide updates and photos during every visit for your peace of mind.

Before our first visit, I’d love to learn everything that makes your pet unique. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite toys, fears, triggers, and any behavioral quirks. I also like to know how they interact with other people and animals, any commands they know, and what helps them feel comfortable. Veterinarian info and emergency contacts. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide personalized care and ensure your pet has a safe, stress-free, and enjoyable experience.
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.
