LOVER OF ANIMALS!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my whole life growing up. I got my own dog when I was 18 and she is the love of my life! Getting my own dog showed me how big of a responsibility and commitment taking care of an animal is, especially since I got her when she was a puppy! I have also owned cats my entire life and have great experience with them as well. I have house sat for the same family while caring for their dog in their home during this time for the past 5 years. I am extremely responsible and efficient in time management. I currently attend the University of Maryland School of social work and have nannied and dog sat for the same two families for the past 5 years. Being in school with such a busy schedule while working full time in the past has taught me extreme time management skills and responsibility. Unfortunately my time being a nanny is coming to an end as both family's youngest children are starting kindergarten this year. With this being I would love to use my free time to take care of your pets! I have experience giving animals medicine they need, even giving animals eye drops which most do not like trust me! I will be a punctual, responsible and fun dog walker/sitter for your pet !

Alissa has watched my dog several times. He is a 40lb mixed breed and my significant other and I rescued him when he was a puppy. Due to this, he is a bit protective of us when approached by new people. He may bark or act like he wants to sniff them and then back up as if he is scared until he feels fully comfortable (we are working on socializing techniques). So, as you can imagine, finding someone who will give him the few minutes of time that he needs to warm up and feel relaxed is crucial in finding a caregiver. Immediately upon meeting Jiggy, Alissa approached him at his level and was extremely warm and compassionate. Jiggy took to her right away. Alissa is the best choice for a caregiver because not only is she everything you'd want: responsible, loving, respectful, compassionate, mature, etc...she goes the extra mile to ensure that your pup is in the best hands when you're not around. Jiggy loves her and so do we.

Alissa has been a Nanny/babysitter/housesitter/dog walker for our family for over four years and we cannot recommend her highly enough! She is reliable and great with animals.
