Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and kind pet care 🐾
I’ve known I would work with animals my whole life. I started dog sitting as a young teen and have continued to care for pets throughout my life. I’ve also spent over 7 years working in grooming shops, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My animal experience goes far beyond dogs — I’ve spent time around cats, horses, small barn animals, reptiles, fish, and more. I personally own a high-energy husky, and in the past, I’ve owned fish, a leopard gecko, and even ducks — so I’m comfortable with a wide range of care routines and species! I also have specific experience working with fearful and reactive dogs. I understand the patience and awareness it takes to help them feel safe and supported. I always move at the animal’s pace, using calm energy and positive reinforcement to build trust. While house sitting, I’m happy to attempt basic grooming tasks like nail trims or possibly haircuts, depending on the pet’s comfort level. My grooming background gives me the skills to approach these tasks gently and safely. I offer drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays in your home (I’m not able to host pets at mine). While I do work during the day, I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care when I’m there. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals — I’d love to connect and meet your crew!

Safety, trust & environment
I am unable to care for your pet at my home, but am happy to come to yours! As noted before, I have lots of experience caring for both cats and dogs, and know how to keep them safe. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I will be sure to let your dog out on a leash.
Ratings and reviews
Great job caring for the animals and the house


Alyssa was great! She treated McGee like her own and took him on adventures. 10/10 would ask to sit again.

Alyssa is wonderful with animals and truly loves them. They trust her instinctively. She's loving, dependable, and goes above and beyond. She has a way with animals that is truly unique. She has been caring for animals for over 6 years and is very trustworthy. She is a great find!

Schedule
I currently work as a nanny in the mornings and typically finish by 5 p.m., which gives me early mornings and plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pets.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsAlyssa can host up to 1 pet per night
- I always want to give your pet the best care possible, so it’s helpful to know their routine, personality, any medical needs, quirks, or triggers (like reactivity to other dogs, loud noises, or strangers). Let me know what makes them happy, what comforts them, and anything you’d like me to keep consistent while you’re away!
