Highlights
Pet care experience
all fur baby love here
Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep love and respect for animals of all kinds. I've lived with cats my entire life, and my extended family always had dogs—so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. Whether it was feeding, bathing, or taking dogs on long walks during family gatherings, I’ve always been the go-to pet helper. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy and healthy. I monitor water bowls daily, provide fresh water, and make sure dogs get plenty of exercise—whether it’s a stroll around the neighborhood or a long hike to leave them happily tuckered out.

Safety, trust & environment
In my own space, we have a balcony that my cat loves going outside on. While Bean does not have any harness training, I did put up garden fence edging to block her in so she cannot stick herself under the balcony. When she goes outside, I also go outside to ensure no funny business happens. My cat back home in Ontario with my parents (who is in my photo) was harness trained as we got her at 10 weeks. Gucci was harness trained as she was so small and wanted to always come outside, she wore a snag-free collar with a bell because she was so quiet. When she did come outside, we literally put a stake in the ground and put her leash around it so she could only go in a circle. as she got older we let her explore with us outside until we trusted her without the harness. Now that she's old, she just comes outside and lays in the sun but always has someone there to watch her as she still is a cat and has a love of thinking the grass is greener everywhere else.
Ratings and reviews
Alyssa was great! Highly recommend
Alyssa dropped in on our cats over a weekend. She was great at communicating and sending us pictures of our boys. It was their first time alone and Alyssa gave us peace of mind. Would definitely book again 😀
We had Alyssa come stay last minute for a trip, as our original pet care fell through. Alyssa was so lovely with our cat and bearded dragon, and had great communication throughout our time away. We felt like we could trust her right away, and came home to happy animals! She left our home clean and our yard was cared for. Thank you Alyssa!
This is our second time using Alyssa to watch Shadow and she was simply amazing every time. She has great communication, is flexible, and takes amazing care of our pup. We trust her immensely in our home and with our fur baby - highly recommend!
This was the third time we’ve had Alyssa care for our cats, and I can confidently say she is 100% recommended! We came home to a clean house and happy, well-cared-for kitties. She went above and beyond and even baked us fresh bread, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout our trip. They gave me peace of mind and helped me know that my cats were doing well and were in great hands. Reliable, caring, and attentive—I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Alyssa was amazing with my cats! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I knew my cats were in good hands and was able to fully enjoy my weekend. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!

Schedule
I work a hybrid 8-4 schedule, so days I WFH can be worked in your space (if wanted) or I can come by on lunch breaks and after work. I am free after 5pm on days in office. On Friday's after 5pm and open all day on weekends and am more than welcome to staying to play and take outside
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsAlyssa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- If there are any special quirks your dog has, temperamental behaviors, or issues you're attempting to train out of them. I would rather know your pets entire history, good or bad, going into something rather than being sprung with it and not knowing how to address the behavior.
