Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet’s (second) Best Friend
Hello there and welcome to my profile! I’m an animal enthusiast who firmly believes pets make life better, and I’ve never met one I didn’t like. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always felt natural to me - not just a job, but something I truly enjoy. I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend, whether they’re a couch cuddler, a zoomies expert, or a little bit of both.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m patient, reliable, and great at sticking to routines, but I’m also all about fun walks, belly rubs, and making sure your pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to send plenty of photo and text updates (because I know I’d want them too!), and I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and a positive experience for both you and your pet.
Ratings and reviews
We are so very thankful for finding Alyssa! She was a total pro in every sense of the word. We have an elderly blind (and nearly deaf dog) and a very active kitten, and her patience and obvious love for animals was exactly what they needed. She housesat for us over the New Years holiday and not only did she take great care of our pets, she took equally great care of our home. It was cleaner when she left than when she got there! We look forward to working with her again in the future.
Alyssa is the best and handled both my large dogs really well and took great smiling pictures of them! I am definitely going to be requesting her services again!
Alyssa was great! First booking with her and she was able to get my timid chihuahua to go on a walk! Would rebook with her in a heartbeat
I can’t recommend Alyssa highly enough as a cat-sitter. She has been caring for my family’s cats for over 10 years, and there is truly no one I trust more. She understands cats on a deep level — their routines, boundaries, personalities, and quirks — and always meets them exactly where they are. Whether it’s administering food, giving medication, keeping litter areas spotless, or simply providing calm companionship, she does everything with genuine care and attention. Our cats have always been relaxed, healthy, and happy when we return home, which says everything! Alyssa specializes in cats and treats them like family and is truly the best at what she does.
Alyssa was and is truly a god-send. My wife and I tell her all the time that she is our dog whisperer. We have a Pitt-husky named Novie, and a cha-weenie named bean. Every time she comes around it is a whole other energy. It started off as a couples night when we would bring her in to watch our babies for awhile while we caught a dinner and a movie. Now she is more of a regular. Whether it is a long weekend or a 1-2 week vacation, Aly is the only one we call. She is so great with our fur babies and I know she will be for yours to.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work full-time as a flight instructor but make my own schedule so I can move my schedule around to accommodate your pets as needed! I’m available throughout the day so I can walk/stop in to check on your pet in mornings and/or afternoons or move my flights around to accommodate middle-of-the day needs. I’m frequently up at 4am so don’t worry about early morning requests! I can usually accept last minute requests as well.

- It’s helpful for me to know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, walk habits, and any training cues they respond to. Please let me know about any medical needs, allergies, medications, or mobility issues, as well as how they do with other pets or new people. I also appreciate knowing their personality quirks - things like fears (thunder, fireworks, vacuums), favorite toys or treats, energy level, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and relaxed. For cats, info on litter habits, play preferences, and hiding spots is always helpful too.
