I am a FULL TIME pet sitter, who can be booked up anywhere from a few weeks to two months ahead. Do not let this deter you from reaching out, as I only take on so many clients at one time to ensure that the pets' needs are being met, I will never accept a pet sitting job if I cannot give the exact & proper care you are looking for!

Safety, trust & environment

I love to know the exact routine of every pet prior to caring for them, as it is helpful to me to keep their routine as normal as possible while in my care! I like to walk dogs even if it is not always needed, as a way to both get fresh air and some energy out for the day especially if you have a more energetic animal! With cats, I will attempt to play with them even if your cat is more laid back, to at least try to get some stimulation/play time in for them! Whatever it is that your pet needs, I am willing to do while so caring for them!

Information Alyssa F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or accommodations! Things like: is your pet afraid of anything? Do they have a specific diet? Do they take medication? Are they good with other animals? Do they have any behavioral issues? Please disclose anything and everything, as to ensure I am a good match with your pet because the most important thing to me is making sure I can give your fur babies the best care possible!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks, even with the cold! If you do specific puzzle toys to stimulate better brain activity for your dogs, those are encouraged to bring with you if your dog boards at my home! I love to take pups for car rides & do ice cream runs in the summer as well! And if your pet has any other special things that make them better/more active please do not hesitate to let me know!

Pet care experience

I have pet sitting and caring for peoples animals for the last 6 years! I have some consistent families I have been regularly sitting for, for the last 3 years I have lived in Virginia, as well as doing some daily work from time to time for a small owned company in Loudoun County! I have worked with other animals other than cats & dogs, such as: chickens, goats, horses, reptiles, birds, you name it! So if you have other animals in your home that would need cared for, I am comfortable to do so! I worked in an emergency veterinary clinic for a year, so I have a little bit of medical knowledge/training as well from that, which allows me to notice behaviors/signs that could indicate your pet is in distress/sick! I can also administer medications whether they are oral or needle injections with no issues, and help care for animals who have certain disabilities!

She took exceptional care of our three older dogs. One who requires insulin twice daily, eye drops, and oral meds. We came back to the house the way we left it and she provided updates. Have already asked about rebooking!
