Pet care experience

Responsible animal lover

I have been a dedicated animal lover for as long as I can remember, beginning my journey at age twelve with a neighborhood dog-walking business. Having owned both dogs and cats for most of my life, I am comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I recognize that every dog is unique; for instance, my own Boxer’s love for "tug" has certainly kept me on my toes and built my strength! While I am confident in my ability to bond with almost any animal, I prioritize transparency above all else. If I ever feel I am not the perfect match for your pet’s specific needs, I will communicate that immediately to ensure the safety and well-being of your dog. Professional Availability & Approach: I have recently moved back to the Hickory area and am open to taking on new clients. I prefer to discuss your specific needs and expectations upfront to ensure we are a mutual fit for a successful partnership. My philosophy is that a walk should be much more than a bathroom break—it is a vital source of fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation. Whether your dog loves playing with a favorite toy or requires consistency with basic command training, I am happy to integrate those needs into our time together. I look forward to meeting your pet and building a meaningful bond.

Safety, trust & environment

My approach to drop-in visits is centered on environmental continuity and specialized feline safety. Because I only provide care within the client’s home, I ensure your cat’s or dogs routine remains undisturbed while prioritizing the security of your property.

Very professional with written care plan and taking notes during meet & greet. Really appreciated the attention to detail. Brought a concern with one of the community cats to our concern and even asked is she needed to do anything. Really observant and present when she was on her visits with our guys. Absolutely recommend her as a caregiver.

Alyssa has been great with learning Melo and listening to my needs for his weekly check in. My guy is really happy with the extra potty breaks in the day! We will definitely continue booking Alyssa for weekly visits.

The old saying goes “knowledge is power." Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family. As a pet parent, I know that the safety of our pets is very important. Please let me know of any behavioral or health issues, including any allergies. The better the communication the best I can assist in caring for your animals. Meet and Greets are wonderful ways for both of us to get to know each other. Feel free to reach out and communicate with me at any time. There is no such thing as too much information, so the more information you can give me the better I can serve.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
