Experienced pet sitter
Pet care experience
I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs as well as farm animals/pets(I don't have a ton of horse experience) and exotics. I was a wildlife rehabber for 3 years and have worked with squirrels, Foxes, raccoons, rabbits, Coyotes, bobcat, mink, prairie dogs and other small wild mammals as well as experience with exotics. I worked at a monkey sanctuary and have had hedgehogs, bearded dragons and worked with multiple reptiles/exotic birds including blue macaw/large exotic birds. And I have worked with goats, llamas, chickens, ducks, horses (minimal experience) and cattle(minimal experience). I have some animal behavior experience and experience with positive reinforcement training techniques for dogs and can keep up with any behaviors you're currently training for. I also have extensive experience with giving medications both oral and sub cutaneous on dogs, cats and wildlife(you'd be surprised how hard it is to pill pop a raccoon 😂) Hope you find the perfect fit for your fur(and scale/quill/feather) babies!
About Alyssa B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I strive to leave the house cleaner than I came to it. I typically bring my own food and drinks and am happy to do any small tasks that are requested. Getting out of the house for a trip is hard enough without having to remember the couple dishes in the sink etc. Shoot me a text and I'm happy to toss em in the dishwasher;)
Information Alyssa B. would like to know about your pet
I have a true passion for animals and have dedicated years of my life to working with and helping animals. I strive to be the house sitter I would want looking after my own pets so that families/people can enjoy their trips and know that their furry family and home are well cared for
A typical day
I typically follow owner guidelines on walks/play time etc, but am around pretty much the entire time outside of my work hours and focus a lot of energy on training/positive reinforcement/making pets feel comfortable and happy in an often stressful situation so if they need extra snuggles or extra play time, I go with the flow.
Services
Alyssa can watch in your home
Availability
I work full time 10-6:30 m-f but have a somewhat flexible schedule for midday potty breaks if needed. Extra needs can be accommodated wherever possible and I will do everything I can to be around for the maximum time.
