Vet Assistant, loves all animals!

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs and cats (and various rodents and reptiles) for about 10 years by walking, sitting, feeding, and playing with them. I have worked at Murray Hill Vet in New Providence, NJ as a part time Vet assistant for 5 years, so I know how to administer all kinds of medications as well as take care of all animals. I have 2 dogs of my own, one of which I have raised as a puppy. The newest addition to my family is a kitty that I rescued from my college campus.

Alissa did an awesome job caring for our two doodles while we were out of the country for a few days. Wish she didn’t have to go back to school!

Alissa was great with our Benny. She was prompt and responsible, and Benny was happy when we got home. We will definitely book with her again!

Alissa did a great job popping over to check in on our dogs while we were out for the day. She sent pics and gave food and bathroom updates. Will definitely use her again.

Information Alissa F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any behaviors that I should prepare for. Also, let me know if they require any medication/special needs.

A typical day

I know how important it is to stimulate dogs and cats mentally and physically. I will take dogs on walks and allow them to sniff as much as possible, as this stimulates their brains. In addition, I am happy to let them play with mentally stimulating toys/games.
