Reliable and Experienced

Pet care experience

I have been caring for other people's pets for over 10 years and know how stressful it can be to leave your pet under someone else's care. I strive to make any time I spend with your pet as easy and comfortable as possible for both pet and pet parent. I have experience with senior animals and animals with high support needs. I am currently caring for dogs, cats, rabbits and horses.

Alissa watched our three rescue dogs for a week and did a fantastic job. One of them was having some issues with her food and Alissa was super communicative and helpful about getting her through the week. We received updates and photos daily. The dogs were happy and house was spotless when we returned home - I'd highly recommend her!

This is our second week with Alissa and she had made us and our Milo super comfortable and has made this experience super easy for us. Alissa thank you for your attention with Milo and your feedback on each walk!

Alissa was a great dog sitter for Athena over the weekend. She made sure all instructions were followed and that Athena got plenty of walks and love!

Safety, trust & environment

When a pet is under my care, I follow the pet parents care instructions to the letter. This means that the disruption to the pets daily routine is minimal and stress to the animal is lessened. I want to keep the pet in an environment they are familiar with, and to make sure all experiences are positive for the pet while under my care.

Information Alissa H. would like to know about your pet

My biggest concern is keeping your pet happy and healthy. This means knowing any health or behavioral issues that the pet has - for example allergic to bees and barks at people during walks. I also need to know whether the pet is up to date on all shots, and any medications the pet takes.

A typical day

I do whatever activity will make the pet happy and healthy. My job is to take care of the pet whether that is walking, feeding or just spending time with them.
