Reliable Overnight & Drop-In Care
Availability update 🐾 Beginning August 24th, my weekday availability will be after 5 PM due to my new hybrid work schedule. I’ll also continue offering weekend care, including overnight stays Friday through Sunday, along with weekend drop-ins and walks. Feel free to reach out with your dates — I’m always happy to see if I can accommodate your pet’s needs! 🐾 Hi! I’m Alissa, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I grew up around pets and currently have a Mini American Shepherd named Gracie, so I understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for dogs. I specialize in in-home pet care and overnight stays, allowing pets to remain relaxed and comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I aim to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible — including walks, meals, playtime, medication, and providing calm, consistent companionship. I’m dependable and detail-oriented, and I take the time to follow instructions carefully so your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for. I also understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I take that seriously. I prioritize clear communication and regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m based in the Milwaukee area and open to nearby locations. I focus on providing reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with patience, care, and consistency, I’d love to connect.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I carefully follow your pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort needs to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to details like feeding times, walking routes, and favorite toys so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Alyssa was absolutely amazing. When we had the meet and greet, I loved her from the very start. We have two Maltese, which are tightly bonded to my husband and I, not wanting anyone in our space. But with her great communication skills, loving and kind personality, she had them cuddling up on the sofa soon into the day. We enjoyed messaging her and receiving pictures from her. she is a wonderful person and would love becoming a friend of hers! I highly recommend her, she would be my first choice having her as a caregiver for my dogs.
Wow!!! Alissa is the absolute best!!! We got really lucky finding Alissa after a few let downs in the pet sitting world. Alissa sent us updates and photos like we asked. She would send us little updates on Ranger each day. We could tell when we got home that ranger was really well taken care of. I can't begin to tell you how much better our time away was knowing our sweet pup was in such good hands. Alissa is a total pro and doesn't mind dealing with a 10 page note of instructions and tips. She is beyond willing to work with your pets specific and sometimes quirky needs. I would hire Alissa again in a heartbeat!!!! You and your pet will be the luckiest in her hands. 10/10
I truly cannot recommend her enough! She took such amazing care of my dog, Frankie, and went above and beyond in every way. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Frankie and wasn’t just checking off a list of tasks. She even took Frankie on a long walk that wasn’t expected, just because she wanted to, and I know Frankie loved every minute of it. Coming home knowing my dog had been so well cared for meant everything to me. Frankie can be particular, and I don’t trust many people with her, but after this experience, I honestly don’t want anyone else watching her if she’s available. She treated Frankie like her own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you so much! ❤️🐾
Alissa was great! She really came through for us at the last minute so we were able to enjoy our concert stress free! She kept us updated, and was prompt with her communication! The boys loved her!
Alissa was an great pet sitter! From the start, she asked thoughtful questions about Marti's routine, preferences, and care, which showed how much she wanted to make sure everything was just right. She took excellent care of Marti and kept me updated with photos and messages. She was good with communication and was available last minute for my needs. I will definitely book with her again!
Was able to accommodate a last-minute booking due to unexpected surgery and was super-accommodating over the weekend hospital stay updates. The pups looked super happy in every pic! Thanks so much.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I prioritize making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m happy to coordinate schedules ahead of time to match your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, medication, or overnight companionship.
