Outdoorsy Gal to Watch your Pal!
Pet care experience
I grew up on a farm, caring for a wide variety of animals during my upbringing. I now live in the city and have a love for travel. That being said, I have not been able to commit to adopting my own little Puppy pal. This is my way of getting my furry fix, without the longterm commitment (pets are for life!). I would like to one day have a puppy of my own, but for now I'm looking for a hiking/walking buddy - and since I love to travel -I understand the anxiety of having to find someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pups as if they're their own. I'm your gal for your little (or big, I don't discriminate) pal! I will send you lots of pics and updates and keep your furry friend happy while you're away. If you're interested, I'd love to chat!
Reviews
I recently had the pleasure of entrusting Alyssa with my friend Luna for a few days. Going into this arrangement I was pretty nervous and a first time Rover user. As soon as you meet Alyssa you can tell she is a true animal lover. She immediately made me feel at ease leaving my dog with her. She is so welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic about being with your pet. I was so impressed. Furthermore her house is bright, clean, and you will be met by a very friendly (and patient) cat. If you’re like me and you read reviews to get a feel for these things then stop right here. Book with Alyssa if you can, you will not regret it. I will certainly not hesitate to book again. Thanks Alyssa!
Alyssa is clearly a pet lover, and will put the time and care into your pet as if they're her own. She was communicative, kind, and, most importantly, my dog loved her. I would highly recommend Alyssa as a dog sitter during your next trip. Completely stress free!

I have a large fenced yard, as well as a cat who gets along well with dogs. I just ask that your dog is okay with cats and house trained.
Home
Information Alyssa A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special requirements your pet may need to follow. I like to keep their routine as similar as it is in their daily like with you. That might include certain rules you follow (no going on furniture/beds, etc) and feeding times.
A typical day
I love to go for walks, so your dog would tag along side me. I also think it's super important for your dog to be mentally stimulated daily, so I ensure I allow time for that. That might look like longer sniffing times during a walk, games outside in the backyard or inside (hiding toys, etc).

Alyssa can host
Availability
I'm currently a full-time supply teacher, with the odd day off here and there. I'm mostly able to come home at lunch and I'm home after work by not later than 3:30 most days. Your pup would have outside time in the morning before I leave to work (between 7-8:30 am ish), at lunch (approx. 40 mins) and again once I'm home after work. I enjoy going for daily walks, so your furry friend will tag along side me. If you're open to it, I also love going on hikes, so I'd love to bring your pup too!
