Pet care experience

Caring and professional pet sitter

I grew up on a horse and cattle farm with no shortage of family pets of all shapes and sizes, so a love of all animals was instilled from a very young age. I began by caring for the pets of family and friends but quickly discovered that I wanted to expand my clientele. I treat animals with the utmost care and respect at all times, just as I would any treasured family member. When beloved family pets are in my care, one can rest assured they will receive all the adoration and attention they deserve. I take safety and health very seriously, especially coming from a nursing and compliance professional background. I would be absolutely honored to be entrusted to care for your fur babies!

Alyssa took such great care of Riley. She made him feel right at home and sent photo updates often. I will definitely ask her to help out with our senior pug again. Thank you, Alyssa!

Alyssa was a fantastic cat sitter! She took the time to come and meet Teddy and got along with him really well. She made sure he was looked after and entertained while I was away, and was super communicative throughout

Safety, trust & environment

When pets are in my home, I try to stick to a consistent routine (feeding, play, walks, etc). Generally speaking, pets are treated as members od the family. As long as it's not a safety concern, the animals have the ability to freely move between rooms with supervision. I will use baby gates to block off certain areas as needed. For example: some dogs are very interested in my cat's litter box or the bathroom trash can, so I will often block those areas so the dog cannot reach them.

A typical day

I am lucky to live in a neighborhood with extensive sidewalks, so pooches who stay with me will have no problem getting regular exercise. Alternatively, with permission, I would love to take the dogs on walks along approved trails or to dog parks.

Cats
Alyssa can host up to 2 pets per night
The main concern for me is aggression with children or other animals. I am tolerant of behavioral quirks or minor issues if they do not pose a safety hazard. I do have a cat who is quite friendly and curious, so I will not be able to accept boarding bookings for animals who are aggressive and potentially dangerous to other animals.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
