Pet care experience
I understand that when a pet is away from their person/people, they tend to feel really anxious. I provide extra love and attention during the first few days you're separated and make sure they are comfortable with me. I bond with animals really fast as an animal empath and being able to sense what they might need. I have tons of private pet experience, walking and house sitting - dogs and cats, young and old. I also worked at a Humane Society so I have 2 years of professional experience with dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, etc. Those two years qualified me to work with wary cats and dogs as well as doing dog meets and other such tasks. I also have experience giving cats and dogs vaccinations and giving cats insulin shots. I'm also really good with plants - indoor and outdoor! If you need me during the week, I might need to bring my toddler along with me, so kid-friendly is preferred. Weekends my husband can be with my daughter.
Reviews
Allyssa was so great! She loved on my old needy cat so well. I didn't worry about my cat at all....that is not normal when I leave her. I'm very thankful for all the care Allyssa gave. I would highly recommend her to any pet parent.
It’d be hard to do justice to how great Allyssa was. She went so far above and beyond to help us while one of our dogs was dealing with illness. Was so clear from the communication how much she understands and loves dogs. And she could not have been more flexible and easy to deal with when it came to logistics.
Allyssa went above and beyond! She took such loving care of our corgis and even our fussy one loved her immediately. It was clear that she really cares about them and she stayed extra when one of them was sick. I will be a repeat!!!
Allyssa (Ally!) did a great job staying at our house for 3 days while we went on our first trip after Covid hibernation. Our puppy and cat were happy and house was in great shape when we got back. Highly recommend.

So many cuddles and tummy rubs! Lots of running around and playing too. Good sleep is key for all animals and a little exercise doesn't hurt. Your pet(s) will know you love them even when you're away if you leave them with me🥰
Information Allyssa J. would like to know about your pet
How are they with kids? Has your dog ever escaped their collar/harness? Do they try to run out the door without a leash on? Are they reactive to other dogs, or cats, or squirrels? Do they have a favorite walking route or toy?
A typical day
I choose to tailor my outdoor experience for dogs based on what they need and want. If I'm with a dog that doesn't like other dogs - I'll take them somewhere quiet where there's fewer chances to see other dogs. If they love other dogs - I'll take them to a dog park. If they have a lot of energy - we'll do an extra long walk or a run.

I'm a working mom with flexible hours, and my daughter and I love every opportunity to help take care of dogs and cats. Whether it's drop-ins, walks, or staying with your pet(s) while you're off on a trip, we love to do it!
