Availability
I work full-time in daily news so I do have some deadlines to adhere to. But I am able to work remotely and am open to being flexible to accommodate pet care if it fits with my schedule. Wifi info is appreciated so I can bring work with me if needed.

About alyssa a.
Communication
Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I know cats appreciate respect and boundaries, so I let them come to me. I start with getting things like food and water out of the way, and then once they see I am there to provide for them, I hang out for a while to see if they want attention. I typically bring a book with me so I can “make myself at home” and give cats the space to approach me. If they’re on my lap, I’m not leaving until they hop off!
Information alyssa a. would like to know about your pet
Open to all kitties, regardless of age, breed, maintenance level, personality, etc. Just let me know their feeding schedule and preferences and we can go from there.
A typical day
Sometimes all a cat needs is someone to sit with them, so I get comfy on the couch and make it known to them it’s a safe space to cuddle. Of course I’ll also use their favorite toys and treats!

Cat care experience
Caring for my elderly cat (lived to be about 21!) has given me great experience with being an even more selfless and responsible pet caretaker. I’m comfortable giving cats medicine and even IV fluid injections.
Reviews
I knew Alyssa was going to be the perfect pet sitter for my two kitties when I first met her and she was super cuddly with my little gray boy. But when she sent not only photos but a video which featured my very nervous, very reclusive gray tuxedo girl my first impressions were confirmed! Alyssa was wonderful. I trusted her with my precious buddies and in my home and will definitely trust her in the future!
Alyssa did a fantastic job with Emerson while we were out of town! So grateful for her help.
Great communication and took great care of my kitties while I was gone :)
My cat is very shy when I'm not around, but Alyssa does a great job of working within her comfort zone, and almost always gets my girl comfortable enough to come out for some attention and play time!
