Little buddies new best friend!

Pet care experience

I am hard working, animal loving, prior service sailor. I have worked at a vet hospital, volunteered at the SPCA, and worked for Rover for many years. I love the companionship of any and all animals! I have experience as a vet tech and have been caring for homes and pets for many years! It is my dream to become either a vet or get involved in the animal industry in any way. I have experience with all animals from cats and dogs, to horses and pigs! I know basic medical care for most critters. I am fairly flexible when it comes to watching your fur babies. I would love to get to meet you and your little buddy and become their new best friend! I am able to care for your furry family members before and after my shift at the shipyards. I am able to spend more time with them on the weekends. Regardless of my day; I make sure each pet receives love and attention. It definitely helps me unwind too. Who can still be mad after a slobber kiss, belly rubs, quacks, or purrs? With my fur crew....pig, dog, and cat.....I currently do not care for other pets in my home. It presents too much of a risk to all parties. I have the availability to check in on pets prior to work, after work, and after dinner. I am generally fairly flexible on the weekends. I try my very best to accommodate for the needs of your fur baby. I do have to care for my own crew; though, so generally I stick to just drop ins or walks. Because of my pets I do not offer in home pet sitting. There is just too many variables and hazards that I'd rather just avoid all together. While caring for your pet in your home I take the utmost care and respect for the pet and home.

Alyssa always goes above and beyond for our cat. Professional and clearly loves animals. Will always ask Alyssa to look after our furball family!

She took great care of our cats while we were out of town. She’s very responsive and personable, after meeting we could tell she truly has a passion for animals. Very thankful to have found someone we can trust for when we need care for our pets!

Alyssa took great care of my cats and gave me some note on how they were both doing. Everything was smooth and my cats seemed very comfortable around her. She was also kind enough to bring in some of my mail. I will be rebooking the next time I’m out of town!

We love Alyssa! She’s checked in on my cat while several times before and today she came by to take my (shy guy) puppy out for a walk while I was at an all-day work event. He’s a little unsure about people who aren’t me, has never been home alone this long, and this was the first time someone else has taken him out without me around but it went well!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as if they were my own regardless of any extra care they might require. I also adhere to any guidelines or routines strictly. I also try my best to help make your trip easier on you by helping with small tasks around the house (if asked).

Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet

Are there any medical issues/allergens? What is their favorite toy/treat? Are they head shy? Have they been by themselves before the stay? Are they allowed on the furniture? Are they crated when no one is home?

A typical day

I like to stimulate the pets by either playing with their favorite toy, running around like a goof, or hiding treats before I go. On hot days I like to freeze a Kong/watermelon/or other healthy busy treats. During the holidays I like to make treats and pawprint ornaments (if pet is willing). Just overall I like to help the pets feel like they are having fun and being loved like my own.
