Loving Care When You Can’t Be There
I’ve been around dogs my entire life, with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care; and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully; whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs, so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment. I’m also happy to continue any training or reinforcement you’ve already been working on, whether it’s basic commands, crate manners, or specific behavior routines. Consistency is key, and I always strive to keep your pet’s progress moving forward while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible, offering them love, play, and structure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m tidy, responsible, and always make sure your home is just as you left it, or better. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.
Ratings and reviews
I have an anxious older dog who had a little freak out and tried to escape the first night we were gone. Alyssa did an excellent job of communicating and adjusting to keep the pets safe! You can tell she really cares for the animals! Exactly who you want caring for your pets!
Alyssa did a fantastic job! My cats were so happy and well taken care of and she was very communicative with pictures. Highly recommend!
Alyssa was communicative, flexible, and consistent! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands.
Alyssa did a great job caring for our two cats while we were away.
Alyssa communicates clearly, is on time and she took great care of our two dogs. She sent us pictures and left our house in perfect condition. Our dogs did great. We will be booking with her from now on.
I am disappointed in my services from Alyssa. Unprofessional and risked the health of my pets. Alyssa did not follow instructions and didn’t stay with my pets like she sold me she did, not knowing I had cameras outside. One of the most disappointing things is their water bowl was bone dry and when I filled it, my dog drank like she hadn’t had water in days. Providing water is one of the most important things you have to do as a sitter, which affects the health and well-being of my pets. I asked for daily photos and an update and only received photos when I asked for them. She didn’t arrive when she said she would and left earlier than she said she would and didn’t message me that she closed up. I sent her a message about this and she ghosted me. I wouldn’t recommend Alyssa.

Schedule
I’m I’m a student at Linfield University and I am currently on summer break. I have flexible availability for house sitting (overnight or daytime care), dog walking, drop-in visits, and more! Please see below for House Sitting! House Sitting Policy: Please note that my standard house sitting rate does not include constant care. During a house sitting booking, I may leave for 4–8 hours at a time to care for my own dog or complete scheduled walks and drop-in visits for other clients. Every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to discuss their routine before booking to make sure my schedule is a good fit. Puppies and pets with medical needs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. I do not charge my constant care rate solely because a pet is a puppy or has medical needs, as puppies already have a higher rate and medical needs are often outside of an owner’s control. If your pet’s care requirements significantly limit my ability to accept other bookings or require me to remain with them for the majority of the day, we can discuss whether a constant care rate is appropriate. I also live with another experienced Rover sitter. If an unexpected scheduling conflict ever arises, they are available to let pets outside for a potty break or provide a quick check-in when appropriate. This helps ensure your pet’s routine is maintained even if I’m briefly unavailable. Any assistance would be communicated with you in advance whenever possible. If your pet requires constant or near-constant supervision, I do offer constant care at an adjusted rate. The requested dates are reserved exclusively for your pet(s), allowing me to remain with them throughout the duration of the stay.

- I always want to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved; so the more I know ahead of time, the better! Some important things I like to ask about include: • Daily routines (feeding, potty breaks, sleep habits, etc.) • Medical needs or medications • Behavior quirks (e.g., fear of loud noises, reactivity, separation anxiety) • Training you’re working on (so I can help reinforce it!) • What they enjoy (favorite toys, walking routes, treats, cuddle preferences) • Anything they should avoid (certain dogs, people, foods, etc.) I always tailor my care to match your pet’s needs and personality, so don’t hesitate to share all the little details that make them who they are!
