About Alyssa C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love it when your pet gets a chance to interact with their environment in different ways. Going for a nice hike, playing with toys, and teaching them tricks are great ways to spend time. I will also make sure your pet is tidy and fed per your instructions. For an extra fee, I can plan a special adventure or tend to their hygiene needs (bathing, nail trim, teeth-brushing, etc. - I hand/towel-dry only!) if your pal is amenable to it. I have experience with older pets and small breeds especially. I also love just chilling out with your critter(s). It's all about the vibe! As of 2/2026 I am feline/canine CPR and First Aid certified.

Information Alyssa C. would like to know about your pet
Please make me aware of of any special needs, allergies, chronic conditions, or other care concerns. I want to make sure your pal is comfortable and happy! Under certain circumstances (i.e. you're a breeder, pet is pregnant, severe behavior problems, pet lives mostly outdoors, puppy/kitten, etc.) I may ask for the most recent vet visit & vaccination record before the booking starts. This is keeping with professional grooming and kennel practices and helps to protect your pet, other animals, and me. Thank you for understanding!
A typical day
If your best friend/s is/are feline, I will gladly give them as much cuddles, attention, play, grooming, ✨️ treats ✨️- or space! - as they need. I also LOVE looking after birds and small mammals, and have experience caring for budgies, cocatiels, fish, and chinchillas. Based on your requests and info you provide regarding your pet's temperment and routine, we will interact in a way that maximizes their individual enrichment needs. If you have dog/s, your pup(s) and I may go on a nice walk, jog, or run along local paths and trails. For longer visits, we can go on a hike at a local park or take a drive for a pup cup or some other pet-parent-approved treat (you provide the vehicle harness or crate - safety first!). Or maybe your friend likes to take it easy, do yard patrol, fetch, learn a new trick, or sit and get scratches? Let me know!

✨️Pet-Care Professional✨️
Pet care experience
It all started for me in middle school as an impromptu small business looking after my neighbors, family, and friends' pets while they travelled. To this day I relish the countless hours spent with animal companions. Rest assured your pet will have my undivided attention! Along with calm, confident care I will take the best pictures of you pet, and also offer limited grooming services. Additionally, I am very comfortable working with you and your pet if they have a history of problematic behaviors - I have lots of experience with this and would love to make a written action plan at your request, designed specifically for your pal. Also, if your friend needs extra time and energy outdoors, I'm the one! No ten-minute tuts around the yard over here, I will tire that energetic baby out with running and playing so they are calm and collected by dinner time! If that's not enough, I am also a beekeeper. If you are headed out on a trip and need an inspection, treatment, or someone to check on your ladies, or even just need an extra hand getting it done, give me a buzz here on Rover and I'll get back to you ASAP! ✨️No charge✨️if you have four or less colonies and are registered with the state. 👸✨️🐝 I'm looking forward to meeting your buddy/buddies and hope we'll be a pawfect fit. 😊

Reviews
Alyssa is awesome! There is no better description. She is accommodating, clean, loving; always looking out for the best for our little guys and us and our home.
Alyssa was so loving to my chickens and cat. She took care of everything and went beyond what I needed. I felt very much at peace leaving everything in her care.
Our favorite sitter forever! Alyssa handles everything like a pro - from giving our rabbit eye drops, to chasing our cat when he decides to run out into the hallway, and much more! We’re forever thankful we have Alyssa to look after our loved ones. She treats them as if they are her own! 😻
Alyssa went above and beyond taking care of our cats, providing them treats from her stash and extra playtime. She even thoughtfully watered our plants and cleaned the cat dishes. It’s very clear she takes her job seriously, and we felt our cats were in great hands!
