Pet care experience

A Pet's Best Friend

My first word was "Z", a nickname for the family dog, Daisy. I've been an animal lover from the start! Please note: I can only accept overnight house sitting requests where I can bring my 2 dogs with me, pending a successful meet & greet between all parties. They are both very friendly and love to meet new canine friends! -I grew up in Rhode Island with a family dog who fostered my love for animals. -In college, I joined a club that raises and trains service dogs. It quickly became my passion and I knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. -I helped raise 5+ assistance dogs in college. -I worked at Dogs Inc (Southeastern Guide Dogs) for 7 years. -I have done part time pet sitting for about 10 years, and I have been a Rover sitter for 5 years now.

Alyssa did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Rosie. She followed our feeding and care instructions very well. She took a great deal of time to get to know Rosie and we felt very happy knowing that our cat was taken care of in the best way while we were on vacation. 😀

Alyssa is a confirmed animal lover and a responsible caregiver. She must impress animals because my two semi-feral cats have decided that she can see them and don’t hide from her. She is flexible and accommodating with scheduling and very pleasant.

Alyssa has been a great caregiver, visiting my 2 semiferals who hide-from her! I am glad she got to see Notte! Very pleasant, responsible and helpful.

Alyssa has been so wonderful to our misbehaved hound: attentive, patient, and so caring. Would recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and prompt person to take care of their pet!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

-I recently moved back to RI from Florida and am available for pet sitting while I look for a full-time job. I have a lot of scheduling flexibility in the meantime and will be happy to care for your pets! -I have a couple weekly clients currently, but sometimes the dates change. If you are interested in booking with me, but my calendar says I'm unavailable, please still reach out as I may end up being available/able to make things work! -I have a pet dog, an 8 year old black Labrador tripod named Jackie, and a service dog, a 3 year old Goldador named Declan. Both are very well-behaved and friendly. -I am only able to accept house sitting jobs where Jackie and Declan can come with me, pending a successful meet and greet between all parties.

I want to know everything about your pets! Tell me their quirks, their favorite things to do, if they have any special needs or favorite treats. The more you share, the better I can take care of your pets.
