Pet care experience

Your Pet's Next Best Friend

I was fortunate enough to be raised in a home with a variety of animals! I have had dogs my entire life, and cats for the last decade, with bunnies, frogs, hamsters, hermit crabs, and more along the way! Anyone who knows me, knows how important my pets are to me. They are more than pets, they are my family! I have had big, medium, and small dog breeds, and worked with cats with all different personality types and backgrounds. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind with the person responsible for your family members when you're away, and with me you will never doubt that your fur babies are being spoiled! Working with me, you'll find that I can accommodate any request or 'weird pet quirk' that you may throw my way. I find that animals respond well to my calm and genuine nature, and it provides enjoyment for me as well! I just recently got engaged and am hoping to help fund my wedding and future home, please reach out if you have any questions or special requests! I am also known to send probably too many pictures while you're gone, for that extra reassurance that all is well! I look forward to becoming a part of your village, please don't hesitate to reach out for all pet and house care needs!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At this time, in order to protect my own fur babies and yours, I will not be bringing client's pets' into my own home. I find that pets are more comfortable in their own environment most of the time, and I would rather keep their comfort a priority. I follow directions provided by the families on how to best keep their pet comfortable with a new person entering their space. Reading their behavior and body language is so important!

Alyssa was so great with our kitty and pup while we were away at Disney World. She sent pictures and updates and our pets were beyond loved and happy :)

Alyssa is very kind and compassionate and loves animals! Has grown up with dogs and cats and various other small animals at times so is used to the care they need and how they differ. Very trustworthy!

Alyssa Addicks is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has taken care of her two cats Louie and Sophie to perfection, and they are loved to a great degree. However, her love for animals does not stop at her own pets. She has taken care of my sister's dogs, as well as many others. Alyssa loves all pets, people, and life in general.

Alyssa has always been a kind hearted person that LOVES animals! She grew up with dogs and has always had a pet of some kind. Bunnies, dogs, frogs, hamsters, fish and cats. She's responsible and have no doubt she would pamper any pet of mine!

Schedule

I work from home as a mental health professional and create my own schedule, so pet care can fit very easily into my routine. I will be as flexible as possible with the families I work with, and communication will never be a concern!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Alyssa can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know as much information about your pet before our first meeting as you can! I will dedicate a lot of energy and time building trust with your pet, and as much information as you can provide to help with the process is appreciated! A favorite toy, treat, or location can go a long way!
