I also ran a wonderful dog rescue for almost ten years giving me a wide variety of experience with many situations and behaviors. I love being able to help people with knowing their pup is in the best of care so you can enjoy your Vacation at work or just not add more stress in a time of sorrow or whatever the situation may be that brings you to needing dog sitting!

Our pups were treated just like family. So grateful to found a wonderful place for our Great Danes. Knowing she knows the bread was a great peace of mind.

Alissa is a true dog lover! Stella had a great time and came home with a new scarf and a big smile!

I have had Alissa watch my dog twice and would definitely use her again! My dog is shy with new people and he took to her right away. Great review from my dog too!! I feel my dog is well cared for and loved. Alissa responds quickly with booking and any questions or concerns.

We had to pick up our pups earlier than expected due to a snow storm coming through, but for the time that Alissa had them they loved it! Alissa was great with communication and very quick to respond. If we ever come through the area again we will definitely rebook!

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.
