Trustworthy dog-lover

Pet care experience

I've always loved dogs, and they seem to love me. 🤗 I'm an experienced pet sitter, and I began my pet care jouney as a child, helping to take care of our family's dog. We had a mini schnauzer and later we got a pitt bull. 3 years ago, I adopted my own dog, Rosie, and she's my best friend. 🥰 She still struggles with anxiety due to her past, but we work with it, taking things one day at a time. I'm sensitive to her anxiety by making sure she is as comfortable and calm as much as possible. She has arthritis in her back knees as well, so I try to limit her activity.

Alyssa is a great pet sitter. We have an 8 year old Staffordshire Terrier named Dakota that loves attention. Alyssa always makes sure that she is fed, walked, played with and gets all the attention she needs. Sometimes Dakota requires medicine and Alyssa is on top of that as well. She always keeps my house clean. I love the updates I get while I'm away and the pictures/text messages she sends to make me feel comfortable that someone is caring for both my house and Dakota. Alyssa is my go-to sitter and I'm grateful when she is available.

If you're looking for a dog sitter who isn't just fantastic, but FRIGGIN' AMAZING, then look no further than Alyssa. Let me tell you, this person isn't just a dog sitter, they're a miracle worker! We recently went on a long-awaited vacation, leaving behind our precious fur family: seven dogs, with five of them being those adorable (but notoriously stubborn) French Bulldogs. To top it all off, three of our pups require daily medication. We were nervous, to say the least. Who could handle that kind of pack? Enter Alyssa. From the moment she arrived, our worries vanished. Their calm and confident demeanor instantly put the dogs at ease. Alyssa had this incredible ability to connect with each pup individually, giving them the love and attention they craved. Walks were a breeze (even with that many leashes!), playtime was a joyous cacophony of barks and zoomies, and medication time became a stress-free routine. Alyssa even managed to get our normally grumpy gus to cuddle on the couch! But it wasn't just about the basics. She went above and beyond in every way, including sending us daily updates with adorable pictures and videos, keeping us connected to our furry friends. Alyssa even left the house sparkling clean, despite the inevitable doggy drool and muddy paw prints. Coming home to seven happy, healthy pups was the best feeling ever. It was clear they had been loved and cared for in the best way possible. We owe her a debt of gratitude – our vacation wouldn't have been nearly as relaxing without the peace of mind knowing our pups were in such capable hands.

If you're looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, then look no further! I just had the absolute pleasure of having Alyssa stay at my home for a week to watch my pack of seven, yes SEVEN, furry friends. Let me tell you, it's not an easy feat, but Alyssa handled it with such grace, love, and competence that I came home to a happy, healthy houseful and a very relaxed mind. Here's why Alyssa is the MVP of dog sitters: Multitasking Master: Five of my pups are rambunctious French Bulldogs, and keeping them entertained and out of trouble is a full-time job in itself. She not only managed their playtime but also showered them with affection, ensuring none of them felt neglected. Medication Marvel: Three of my pups require daily medication (one of them being eyedrops). Alyssa administered everything flawlessly, following instructions perfectly and keeping meticulous records. It was a huge weight off my shoulders knowing my precious pups were in such capable hands. Home Haven Hero: My house looked exactly as I left it when I returned. Clean, tidy, and with no doggy disasters (which is a miracle with seven pups!). It was clear that she treated my home with respect, just like they treated my furry family. In short, Alyssa is an absolute gem. She is a true dog whisperer with a calming presence that put both my pups and me at ease. Communication was fantastic throughout my trip, with regular updates and pictures that warmed my heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough! If you have a multi-dog household, especially with medication needs, look no further – you've found your perfect sitter!
