THE BEST CARING & FUN PET NANNY!
Pet care experience
Hello & thank you for considering my pet nanny services for your furry family member! I work from home as a marketing consultant and have a 4 year old chihuahua mix rescue named Coco Marie who absolutely adores having pet friends over to play with! Growing up I lived on an equestrian farm and we had many animals to love and care for including dogs, cats, horses, pigs, cows, goats, hamsters, pet rabbits - even an pet iguana! I learned early on growing up the importance of being knowledgeable to care for many different animals and have always adored my pets treating them like royalty so they can live their best life and I will treat your dog the same! Yourn dog will be taken care of living their best life enjoying TLC all day, playtime with multiple toys available that Coco Marie loves to share and offered a delicious variety of healthy treats daily (if ok with their diet). I am experienced giving medication if needed and can assure if your pet will receive their scheduled medication. I am available to care for puppies, seniors, big and small dogs all are welcome! I look forward to scheduling a meet and greet before your booking to allow our pets to meet in person and discuss any questions you have for me to care for your pet. I only care for one dog at a time so your dog will have undivided attention or two dogs from the same family. I work at home everyday & will be with your pet the entire time for safe, enriching care while you are away. We take multiple walks throughout the day for enrichment and exercise. I live in a very secure high rise that is very dog friendly with a large lawn and a fenced play area for your dog and mine to play together in addition to walks around the neighborhood. We also love to go to the Belmont Dog Beach just a few min walk from my apartment. I will never let your dog off leash to assure they are safely walked at all times. (unless in the fenced play area or fenced dog beach) I also offer pick up and drop off if needed for a small fee. I can care for your dog for short stays or extended several week stays, I have cared for dogs upto a month with families traveling internationally. Your dog is allowed on my bed for overnight stays and the couch for lounging or encouraged to bring their bed & blanket for a cozy spot they are used to. Your dog will be in my direct sight while I am working and have multiple walks a day for exercise in fresh grass areas to do lots of sniffing and have an enjoyable dog adventure. The photos that I shared on my Rover profile are are all my regular day pet sitting or overnight boarding clients and neighbor dogs I regularly walk. If you have a small or older dog that enjoys stroller rides for a break and short duration walking I have a stroller ready for walks. I am quick to respond and very communicative and love taking photos of the dogs playing so you will get frequent updates about your pets staycation with me and Coco Marie!
Reviews

Alissia took such amazing care of my little Bob! I did not worry for one minute because I knew he was safe and having a great time. Thanks so much!

Quincy had a great time staying with Alissia and Coco Marie. He returned happy and healthy. Knowing he'd be well loved and taken care of made for a more enjoyable trip away from our little guy. We will definitely use Alissia for future needs.

Buster had a great time staying with Alissia! We will definitely book with her again.

I had a meet and greet before booking with Alissia and she was great. She brought her dog, Coco, and Leroy and her got along well. I booked with her and when I dropped Leroy off on Thursday morning everything was going perfectly. I traveled from Chicago to Oregon and Alissia sent me 1 pic from Thursday and 1 pic from Friday which was fewer than I expected but that's not the end of the world. On Saturday morning just before 8am, I woke up to Alissia sending me several very long text messages that came off as extremely worrisome and anxious. She mentioned how Leroy barks non-stop when she leaves and won't stop barking. Apparently, she received calls from neighbors and she said she can't go anywhere and she has things to do. She finished the long texts by saying that I need to find a friend or family member who can come pick him up because she can't be "trapped" in her house until we return. I don't have anyone in the city or within 2 hours of the city who can drop everything, cancel their plans, and come pick Leroy up on a whim; if I did, I wouldn't have used Rover. I am paying Alissia to be with my dog and to watch him while I'm across the country and she even assured me that she would be with him all day each day. I told her that he has separation anxiety that has been heightened due to his loss of hearing and that he has recently become a "Velcro dog" meaning he tends to want to be by your side or in the same room as you. Leaving for lengths at a time is obviously going to trigger him especially when he is in a strange home. I don't understand why Leroy couldn't be brought with while doing laundry if it was such a huge concern that he would bark. We called Alissia so that we could ask her to please be patient while we find another sitter and she started to GASLIGHT us by saying, "Oh, I think there's a misunderstanding. Me and Leroy are totally fine and we're out enjoying a beautiful breakfast on a patio. I just wanted to tell you that he was barking, that's all." Unbelievable. Why tell us in what came off as extremely alarming texts that we need to find someone to pick him? To make everything even worse, this was all happening when we were supposed to be getting ready to go to a wedding. I am frantically trying to resolve this issue because we didn't feel like we could trust Alissia anymore and it took over 4 hours before an available sitter was found for us and the exchange of Leroy was finished. This whole experience has turned us almost completely off of Rover.
