Pet care experience
I worked in various positions at an animal shelter for 4 years, even taking animals to school for educational presentations as well as to news stations for promotional segments. Lifelong large dog, cat, and critter caretaker. Currently the obsessive mother to a 12-year-old tripod pit bull named Hazel. Experience with various behavioral and medical needs (love a naughty pet), bathing and grooming, special needs and feeding, and enrichment activities. I will probably assign some sort of personalized voice and personality to your pet if I’m not already aware of them. Happy to be active with the active ones and lazy with the lazy ones.
Reviews
Very communicative and my cat seemed to love her! Also her pictures she took of my cat were so great!!
Alyssa is always prompt and communicative! I know my pup is in good hands when she’s with him. Will continue to use her again and again! 🥰
Alyssa took great care of my cat while I was out of town, I would happily have her come by again!
Alyssa is a wonderful cat sitter--conscientious, communicative, and great with our cat. She showed up exactly when she promised and did exactly what she said she'd do. After Alyssa's care, our cat showed zero signs of agitation when we returned home from the trip--in our house, that's the greatest review anyone can get. Highly recommend.
About Alyssa D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
First and foremost: I am patient, compassionate, and serious about my care of animals. Regardless of where I am caring for them, their breed, size, or needs, I will always provide careful attention, silly playtime, kisses and scratches (if they want that), and whatever they need to feel safe and happy.
Information Alyssa D. would like to know about your pet
I love details! If your pet has any quirks, special needs, or even if I should do a very specific dance and voice to get them to go potty - I’m happy to do so if the instructions are there (you can even leave a note for me in the home).
A typical day
While I’m not a runner myself, I’m happy to take a lil run around the block, find a park to safely play together on-leash, play fetch with their favorite toys, or find enrichment activities such as sniff/lick pads to stimulate their minds and get out some energy indoors. Whatever the parents and pets desire for exerting some energy, I’m down!

Availability
I recently experienced a layoff, so I’m fitting this into my job hunting schedule. I’m currently flexible and able to make any schedule work, but may adjust as things change!
