Pet care experience
Ever since I could remember I had a passion for animals of all kinds. My first job was working in a kennel at an animal hospital and from there I never stopped. I quickly became a vet assistant. I loved every minute of it. I remained a vet tech for 8 years. I then went on to work as a manager at a pet supply company for 3 years. I then decided I wanted to be home with my kids but also wanted to do something with animals. I started doing research and learned a lot about shelters. I wanted to rescue the furr babies in need. I did this for many years. I would drive to different states where doggies were timed on there lives. I would bring them home get them all the medical attention they needed and they would live with me until a forever home came along. A huge plus for me was when they were placed in a great home I was asked to pet sit my (what I called my foster kids) . The travel was becoming a bit much and I was unable to do it as much but I continued to pet sit. I have over 15 years of experience. I treat all furr babies no different then I would treat my own children. If your baby stays with me while your away I will follow your rules, but if its ok with you I let them pretty much make them selves at home. If they want to snuggle on the couch or sleep in the beds that a huge plus for us. I will only watch for one family at a time but if you have multiple pets I can work with you no problem. I will sometimes make an acceptation if an owner and there pet fell into a situation that a sitter is needed. I will only do this if both owners and pets are ok with it. My biggest concern is the comfort for the pets as well as the owners. We will go on many many walks through out the day. I specially love walking the trails in the forest preserve. I am a stay at home mom and someone is usually home so your pet is never left alone. My family is just as crazy about the fur babies as I am and love to play and cuddle with them as well. I look forward to speaking with new owners and meeting new fur babies.
Reviews
After learning our prior dog sitter moved out of state, we were worried about finding a caregiver that we could trust with our three dogs. Impressed by her reviews and profile, we reached out to Alysia. Upon meeting her, we knew our fur babies would be in great hands, and Alysia proved that was the case. One (or more?) of our dogs decided this was the week to forget that we don't potty in the house...or perhaps they felt a bit retaliatory for being left behind. Alysia went above and beyond to clean up and ensure we came home to a clean home. She is communicative, playful, friendly, and it's clear she loves spending time with her animal clients :) No doubt we will be reaching back out to Alysia for our next trip!
This was my first time using rover and Alysia has made our experience better than I could have ever imagined! Our dog is very skittish around new people but Alysia took the time and had the patience to gain her trust. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy and we were worry free! She sent text updates letting us know how she was doing and pictures as well! If you are looking for someone who truly cares about your pets and will go out of her way to make sure they have the best experience possible, Alysia is that person. We will 100% be working with her again! Thank you Alysia! :)
Alysia is a wonderful dog sitter for our Lexi. She was very prompt and communicated with us while we were away. We have found a new friend for Lexi and our family. I would highly recommend her.
Alysia is a great sitter for kitties! I'm late in posting this because I have been in the hospital but there is absolutely no doubt about how well Alysia did with our cats. Always on time, perfectly documented, we got photos each and every day and detailed reports on how each kitty was doing. She kept everything clean and well-organized and loved playing and snuggling with all our cats. I really can't speak highly enough and I can I can book her again!
