Loving and fun pet sitter/walker

Pet care experience

Hi there! Thanks for clicking on my profile. Just so you know, I’m fully vaccinated and I’ll probably love your pet (almost) as much as you do. I’ve had cats and dogs all my life and have even taken care of pigs, chickens, and an alpaca too! This includes animals with special needs. My girlfriend and I have a blind cat who requires a little extra attention and focus to make sure he is staying out of harms way. Don't let that fool you though, he’s the best fly catcher of the house. As for myself, not so great a fly catcher, but great with caring for animals and people. I work with children on the spectrum on behavioral instruction and intervention, as well as adults with developmental disabilities in making sure each and every individual gets whatever they need in order to thrive in this crazy world. I plan on making sure your pet gets the same amount of energy, love, and attention I would give one of my clients. (And let’s be real, definitely more because animals are way better than people). They’re honestly the best part of coming home sometimes (sorry partners!) Pets are more than just animals, they make life better and it’s our job to make theirs as good as we can because we are their whole world. Family is everything and I will treat your baby as if they were my own. You have my word. Please let me know if you have any further questions, I would love to ensure your confidence in me as your pet sitter while you enjoy some time away. :)

Alex is one of the greatest people I know with pets. Animals flock to him wherever he is. He is gentle, kind and caters to all of the animals he meets as if they were human children. He has taken care of both my bunnies and my cats, one of the cats is actually blind and he is incredible at suiting his needs. I cannot recommend Alex more to anyone one, his personality is radiant, animals trust him from the moment he puts his hands out for a scent. Having him watch your animals will leave you with ease while you’re away. He takes a ton of photos in order to keep you updated throughout your pets day and goes over the top to make sure they receive their medicine and love during his time with them.

I have known Alyssa for approximately four years. She has cared for multiple cats / dogs. In all ages of life and of all different levels of necessary needs. Alyssa is professional , flexible, and naturally drawn to animals. She takes the time to create a bond on their terms. Alyssa enjoys all aspects of the job and focuses on each animals needs and personalities. Alyssa is dependable and a hard worker. I fully recommend her services.

Alyssa is incredibly reliable. She is patient and charismatic. She has a way of reading a situation and acting accordingly as well as responding attentively to the needs of the pet(s). She has a history of handling animals along with personal knowledge on pet care and service. She is committed and adjusts to meet the differing needs of individual pets and their circumstance. She, along with her personality, would make a fantastic caretaker.

Alyssa is tremendous with animals. I have known her for about a year and she is known for going out of her way to stop and introduce herself to furbabies that cross her path. I have two rabbits and a blind cat that I would trust her to watch for me without an issue. Animals tend to be drawn to her bubbly personality and outgoing nature. I would most certainly recommend her for any fur-babysitting job without a second thought.

Information Alex O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs I need to account for. I’m alright with anything. I love all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I care for them on their level. If they need their space, I give it. I read their cues and let them feel safe and form a bond.

A typical day

I would love to take care of your pet’s physical, emotional, and mental needs. We will take walks around the neighborhood, play games (outdoors when the weather’s nice!), and lots of love.
