Lover of all animals & flexible!
Pet care experience
I have my own 3 fur babies so I know what it feels like to care for them deeply and only want the best! I have taken care of others pets for many years now; through friends/family, volunteering at pet stores and now with my experience of 2 years on Rover and a year of working at Loudoun County Pet Sitting Co. I have experience working newborn animals, all the way to elderly ones! I have also taken care of more exotic animals such as snakes, birds, chickens, etc. Feeding, bathing, and giving medication, are all things I have done for all of these types of animals as well! I work "part-time" for a pet sitting company in Loudoun County, but between those visits and my Rover clients/visits, it all becomes my full time job. Most often I do day visits for my company I work for which is only ever a 3-4 hour time frame from 11am-3pm, so that would be the only time for drop in visits I would not be available throughout the weekdays! Everything else for weekends, house boarding, or house sitting at your home are free game! If your pet cannot go up to 6 hours (at most) alone, then I may not be the best fit for extended visits/stays with your pet. I currently live with 2 other roommates. They do not have dogs but I do have 3 cats. I am open to possibly boarding your dog, as long my as my roommates approve of it beforehand, but if your dog is not cat-friendly, I would not be the best option to go with. My cats don't mind dogs, but do not like high energy dogs that would be in their space a lot even if the dog is friendly, this is to ensure that my cats to not swipe at your dog because I do not want any injuries to occur! Again, I am open to boarding but want to make this clear before you reach out to me for this request! ***PLEASE inform of any potential aggression issues your dog may have if you reach out to board your dog at our home (if ours is there, sometimes he goes to a sitter himself.)***
Reviews
This is probably the 10th time we've used Alyssa and we absolutely adore her! She is so good with ALL of our animals, checking in regularly, is always flexible, and is so nice! You CANNOT go wrong with Alyssa and I will always highly recommend her!
Alyssa is so amazing with the pups, and I'm very grateful for her professionalism.
Alyssa is great. She was on time and had a great time with my pups and sent regular photo updates showing as much
Alyssa was phenomenal, like always! We haven't used a different sitter in over a year now because of how great she is and the dogs LOVE her. She's always responsive and provides the best detailed updates!

Availability
I recently just started working at a ER Vet Clinic in Winchester; which are 3 days but 12 hour shifts, 7am-7pm. If you're dogs are okay to be left alone for extended periods of time, I am still happy to house sit overnight for people but drop-in visits will have to be discussed through messaging to see if I am off on days you would need. I still love to help take care of peoples pets so don't hesitate to reach out to see if I can fulfill your/your pets needs!
