Ratings and reviews
I have known and worked with Alyssa for 6+ years.In that time I have come to know her both professionally and personally. Her love for animals comes through on a daily basis and sparks great conversations on pet life, animal care, and many pictures of the four legged friends she had met over the week. Alyssa is an extremely dedicated and passionate employee that strives to make her fellow associates work day as fun and stress free as possible. Alyssa prides herself not only on the quality of her work but the wellbeing of all others around her wether they be human or animal she will make sure they are happy, healthy, and as stress free as possible. Alyssa has not only earned my respect but also my trust with my own pets or children. Alyssa is a wonderful person to be around and a fantastic human being.
I’ve known Alyssa for years now. She’s always been kind, respectful, and dependable. She’s hardworking, patient, and genuinely caring, especially when it comes to animals. I know she would treat any pet with love, attention, and responsibility, and I’d absolutely trust her to care for mine.
Ali is the absolute best!! She loves animals and is a very caring person! ❤️ She’s the perfect fit for animal caregiving!! I love her!!
Alyssa is such a joy to know! The love and care she puts into being educated, steady, and supportive for each pet is astounding. I’ve never seen anyone so amazing with animals! She’s always communicative and a great person to call when you need someone reliable!
I’ve known Ali for years, and during that time, her passion for animals has always stood out. She loves everything from hamsters to sharks, and that hasn’t changed. This is why it’s no surprise that she fits perfectly in this field. Many times, she has watched my energetic cat and elderly dog while I was away. She was always attentive, caring, and respectful. Ali is a joy to be around. She has an easy smile for everyone and is one of the most reliable people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter or walker.
To Whom It May Concern, It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Alyssa German. She is truly one of the most compassionate, dependable, and kind hearted people I know. She is the embodiment of sunshine and goodness, and she consistently goes above and beyond for anyone (human or animal) who needs care, support, or love. Alyssa has a genuine passion for dogs and animal welfare that shines through in everything she does. She regularly takes shelter dogs on enriching field trips and adventures, giving them opportunities to burn off energy, explore new environments, and experience joy outside of the shelter setting. She understands that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and she meets each one with patience, empathy, and enthusiasm. Her experience and certifications speak volumes about her dedication. With her Dog Shelter Handling Certificate and RECOVER Pet CPR certification, she brings valuable knowledge in safe handling practices, canine body language, and emergency preparedness. She is confident working with a wide variety of dogs from high energy playful pups to anxious or overstimulated dogs who need a calm and steady presence, as well as affectionate snugglers who simply want comfort and companionship. What makes Alyssa especially exceptional is the love and care she naturally gives. She is thoughtful, attentive, and committed to making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and cared for. She also values communication and responsibility, providing detailed updates, photos, and notes that help build trust and reassurance. Even going above and beyond by sharing information about her lovely experiences with each dog online to help encourage adoptions. Any organization would be incredibly fortunate to have her as a volunteer. I have no doubt that she would make a meaningful impact on the lives of the animals and people she serves. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

Schedule
I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays 9 AM–6 PM, weekdays after 3:15 PM, and weekends. I work pet care into my daily routine and plan my schedule around walks and drop in visits. I prioritize reliability and consistency so pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I enjoy being active and flexible, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care in consistently during the week.
