I currently have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to keep my calendar up to date with any times I’m unavailable. I don’t have many set plans at the moment, so I’m able to be highly reliable and responsive for bookings. Whether you need last-minute help or something scheduled in advance, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs!

Drop-In Visits & Dog Walking Services When you book me for a drop-in visit, your pets get more than just a quick check-in—they get genuine attention, love, and care. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, giving medication, letting them out for a potty break, cleaning up messes, or just offering some playtime and affection while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe and relaxed, and I always send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs—whether they’re full of energy and need a brisk walk or prefer a slower, sniff-filled stroll. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure your dog gets quality exercise, enrichment, and a calm return home. I always make sure water bowls are topped off before I leave and that your pup is settled and happy. Consistency, kindness, and communication are at the heart of how I care for every pet. 🐾

Information Alyssa C. would like to know about your pet

What I Need to Know About Your Pets To provide the best possible care, I ask that you please provide written instructions before my visit. This is especially important if you have multiple pets in your home. Please include details such as: • How much and how often each pet needs to be fed • Any medications that need to be given, including dosage and timing • Any allergies or special dietary needs • Any behavioral notes or quirks I should be aware of to keep your pets comfortable and safe

A typical day

A Typical Day in My Care When your pets are in my care, their comfort and happiness come first. A typical day includes plenty of affection, structured routines, and attention to the little things that make each pet feel safe and loved. I start by checking their basic needs—fresh water, food, potty breaks, and any medication if needed. From there, it’s all about engagement. Whether it’s a walk, playtime in the yard, puzzle toys, or just a snuggle session on the couch, I make sure each pet gets one-on-one time tailored to their personality. I always provide updates and photos so you never have to wonder how things are going. And if your pet has a unique routine, quirks, or preferences, I follow those closely—because no two pets are the same, and they deserve care that feels just right for them. 🐾

Pet care experience

I’ve been providing pet care services since 2007 and have been active on Rover for over a year with a 4.8-star rating ⭐ I also have dog training credentials since 2016, along with ongoing self-education through online classes, YouTube mini-courses, hands-on practice, and real-world experience with a variety of dogs and cats 🐶🐱 I’m a pet parent myself to both a dog and a cat, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you’re away 🏡 I treat every animal like I would want my own cared for—with patience, structure, and attention to their individual needs ❤️ I also have experience in canine and feline nutrition and have helped several pets improve their diets and overall health 🥗 including working through picky eating habits.

I definitely recommend Alyssa to care for your pets. I will be using her again. She was punctual for the meet and greet with my dogs. They got along effortlessly. She was ontime for each drop in visit and ensured my pups were comfortable and safe.

We cannot recommend Ms. Alyssa enough. Whether it is for training or caring/walking, her compassion, patience and knowledge is unmatched. She really takes the time to not only teach/correct the pup, she also educates us as pet parents. Thank you for loving and caring for Jade! Looking forward to booking more sessions and walks.

I absolutely love Alyssa! She is not only a great dog walker that ensures our Princeton stays exercised and is always on time and communicates thoroughly, she also helped us with getting his over excited energy issues we were having. She gave us great feedback that helped how we dealt with him as well and has definitely felt like a great addition in our fur-baby’s life. She is well educated, communicates efficiently, and is flexible enough to ensure we’re comfortable with her and she’s comfortable with us! 100% recommend. Look no further than the Athens dog whisperer! lol 😂
