South End's favorite Rover sitter!
Pet care experience
Please read my profile in full before requesting! •My name is Alyssa (they/them) and I'm 27 years old. I've lived in Charlotte my whole life and currently reside in the Southend / Sedgefield area with my 10yo rescue mix, Ru. •I've cared for animals at home all my life and as a career since high school! I have ~6 years of experience in the boarding/kennel industry and was an Animal Care Manager of a large boarding facility by the time I transitioned to in-home pet sitting only. I've been full time pet sitting / dog walking for ~5 years now and love being able to give my full attention to each individual client's pet(s) while I'm on the job! •This is my primary job, so your pets will always be my priority and receive high quality care and lots of love while you're away! •I am experienced and comfortable working with pets with health, age-related, and behavioral(*see note below) concerns and am certified in Pet First Aid & CPCR. •I am able to offer free oral medication administration (via food or manual methods), but do not do injectable admin. Service Options: •General pet care duties (feeding, medicating, potty, etc. are always included within the visit length of any of the booking options). •"Drop In's" - Indoor only (cats) or fenced yard visits only. •"Dog Walking" - Any visit (travel sitting included) where any amount of leash walking is required. •"House Sitting" - Overnight stay in your home from ~9pm-8am.

Additional midday and evening visits can be booked separately - up to two discounted ($5 off base price) visits per overnight stay. •Available visit lengths: 15m, 30m, 45m, 60m. Can "mix and match" lengths. 45m & 60m visits available ~10 am and 3pm only.

Reviews
Alyssa is incredible! Thorough, loving, and flexible! Thank you so much for taking care of my little girl!
Repeat client. Always so considerate and sweet with my cat!
This is my second time booking with Alyssa, and she’s fabulous!! Super interactive with me while I’m away - sending updates and pictures/videos for me. Very accommodating and easy to coordinate with. I love to have her care for my girl when I’m out of town and will continue to book with her!
Great as always!

Home Info: Your home security and your pets’ safety are of utmost importance to me! •I do not walk dogs for more than ~10 minutes at a time or past potty/bm being done during extreme heat or cold (below 35, above 75), during extreme inclement weather, or past sundown/after dark. •I am happy to follow any “out of town” procedures like alternating window treatments and lights, retrieving mail and packages, etc. while you are away. •I do not ever bring anyone into clients' homes with me, nor share your personal info/address except for safety-based check ins and location sharing with trusted family. •I do not wear branded pet-sitter clothing and my car is not labeled in any way that obviously suggests I am a pet or house sitter/that you are away. •Apartment clients must provide a fob or direct access code/method (no phone calling thru callbox) for multi-visit days/bookings to ensure speedy access! I clock in upon arrival to your building (time spent on parking and access is included in visit length).
Information Alyssa C. would like to know about your pet
I do not discriminate based on breed, size, or age! I have a general checklist of information I need to have to provide the best, safest experience possible, including but not limited to: •*Specific* feeding/medicating instructions - general times, exact amounts/doses, etc. •Behavioral info : training habits to maintain; any aggression in regards to food, toys, people, or animals; and protectiveness over the home. Pets with excessive behavioral concerns or poor leash manners may be subject to a per-visit special handling fee. •Health info : food allergies; medical concerns to be aware of keep an eye out for; medicating times, doses, and admin instructions; exercise level; and any special needs. •Preferred regular and emergency veterinarians. •Pet descriptions : if you have multiple pets, be sure to include a photo and separate profile for each. Any pet in the home MUST have a profile to be included in Rover’s liability guarantee, even if care is not needed. Pricing can be adjusted to remove extra charges for pets not being attended to during bookings.
A typical day
I am happy to go on neighborhood explorations, a walk to your local park, or have playtime at your home! Whether your pet is high energy and needs lots of exercise and stimulation, or mellow and just in need of some cuddles and loving, I will tailor the experience to their needs and your expectations. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!
