Pet care experience

Hi! I love all types of animals!

I have been taking care of my pets and other people’s since I was about 12. Those include dogs, cats, bunnies, a mouse, and even a tortoise! I’ve also been a volunteer at a local animal shelter where I walked dogs and played with cats. As a kid, I used to spend my own money every Christmas to buy supplies for animal shelters near me and donate them. I was also a competitive horseback rider for six years which involves a lot of dedication to caring for and learning about the horses I rode. Animals have always been a huge part of life and they always will.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have taken care of pets in other people’s homes multiple times. I always make sure to follow the instructions left by the owner, and not overstep. As a pet owner myself, I understand wanting to keep a pet on a routine and wanting other people to follow it. I have no issues helping out pets that may need a little extra attention, as I’ve had pets with medical and emotional needs in the past.

I cannot recommend Alyssa enough for pet sitting and dog walking services. Her care and dedication to animals are truly remarkable. I have entrusted her with my beloved pets on numerous occasions, including cats, rabbits, and even mice, and each time she has exceeded my expectations. Alyssa’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction. She takes the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and preferences, ensuring that they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in their care. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll with my dog or providing attentive care for my cats while I’m away, Alyssa consistently goes above and beyond to provide top-notch service. Not only is Alyssa reliable and professional, but she also has a natural ability to connect with animals. My pets always seem genuinely happy and content in her presence, which gives me peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Alyssa. Her passion for animals and commitment to providing exceptional care make her the perfect choice for all your pet sitting and dog walking needs. I wholeheartedly trust Alyssa with my furry friends and am grateful to have found such a reliable and caring pet caregiver.
