Animal Lover, outdoor enthusiast

Pet care experience

I love animals, I think that they are the most special creatures! I grew up with lots of animals aroung and I have pet/house/baby sat for neighbors, family, and friends on and off my whole life. I am experienced with many different kinds of animals from dogs and cats to chickens, pigs, and horses! I am experienced with administering medication including injections. I have fostered a puppy and a kitten before, watching them discover love, comfort, and confidence in my home. You can expect that your pet will be loved with my full attention! I am active on several petsitting/dogwalking/housesitting sites. I enjoy the outdoors and exercise and would love to engage your dog in a walk in nature, a game of catch, etc. I am responsible, dependable, and thoughtful. I love all animals and will take the time to understand a specific dog's personality and needs so I can be the best companion for him/her while their owners are away. I am available for walks, check-ins, and to sit overnight in your home. Boarding currently unavailable. I will schedule a meet and greet with you prior to the booking so we can discuss your pets care instructions, safety, and routine. That way too, the dog is also familiar with me prior to the booking if it is scheduled for after your departure. (This can also be done via zoom) Thanks for checking out my profile, and please let me know if you have any questions!

Alyssa was great with my two dogs. She was always quick to respond and very reliable. We would recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a sitter and will continue to use her in the future.

Stellar pet and house sitting! We got photos and updates daily, and returned to a happy dog and clean home. We will be using Alyssa and Alex again.

Alyssa watched our pitbull, Kenzie, and was our go-to anytime we went out of town the past 3 years. Kenzie loves her and gets so excited to see her! Alyssa was always very thoughtful, sending us cute photos of Kenzie while we were away and taking her on plenty of walks. Her passion for animals shines and her easygoing, responsible attitude made it a breeze to book her. She even bought a few toys for our dog and the house was always cleaner than we left it when we got back. We are sad that she moved to California but wish her the best of luck!
