Pet care experience
I am an extremely caring person and an animal lover all around. Honestly, making pets happy is something that really makes me happy. I previously worked in a veterinary clinic, so I am able provide some knowledge with my experience. I have always had a strong passion to work with animals and I would love to help care for yours. From dogs to fish or even reptiles, I would be happy to help you take care of your animals however you need. I understand the frustrations of trying to find a good sitter that you can trust and I am here to be that for you. I also love the concept of being able to leave your dog at your own home where they are comfortable and happy while you are away. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet.
Reviews
Unreliable as far as communication goes. She also lost my house keys and neglected to inform me until about 4am (I wasn't able to be the door unlocked until about 9am) so my dog peed and pooped upstairs. It was still there when i came home 2 days later.
Short-cut the first 30-min walk by 10 min. Spent that extra 10 min inside my home; not really sure what she was doing during that time, but it made me pretty uncomfortable. For the 2nd walk, which was supposed to be a 45-minute visit, she only walked my (very energetic) dog a total of 0.2 mi, despite explicit requests for a substantial walk to burn her energy. Poor.
Alyssa took great care of Cooper and kept me informed on how he was doing each day. She seemed to genuinely care about his needs and asked a lot of questions about his routine during our initial meeting. She even added on a couple visits toward the end of my booking because I had issues with my flight getting home. There was also an issue on Rover’s end with the check-in/check-out times, so she found a way around it to avoid additional charges. I booked her kinda last minute so I’m very appreciative and will book with her again in the future!
Great patience and attentiveness with Monty! Really hope to work with her again!

I like to treat the pets that I care for as if they are family, while of course following any guidelines/instructions that the owners leave for me. My overall goal is to make the pet feel as happy and comfortable as possible until their owners come back. 😊

I currently I am a full-time engineering student, and all of my classes are online except for only one on Thursdays, so I will have lots of time to spend with your fur babies! 😊
