Aspiring Vet student at UMD

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Alyssa! I promise to take care of your pet as if they're my own. I grew up with an English Springer Spaniel and many cats. I also grew up around and riding horses. I rode competitively all throughout college. I love all animals and always up for the job! Dog wise: I have experience dog-sitting over night with up to two dogs at a time as well as a dog and three cats. I have experience walking dogs (small to extra large). I have also administered medicine orally and eye drops. I can do either for any size or age dog. (All breeds are welcomed and loved) Cat wise: I have had cats in my house since I was five. My family has rescued cats of all ages. I will make sure your cat gets the attention and love it needs. I have administered medicine orally to adult cats and given bottle formula to kittens. I have also administered insulin in cats as well. I know not all animals are the same, so any specific handling or care requests will be accommodated. *I am RECOVER CPR certified for BLS & ALS*

Alyssa was a great sitter for our two cats. She was very communicative and thorough. We got detailed reports and lot of pictures each day and we could tell our cats were being well cared for. We would definitely use Alyssa again!

Alyssa is a wonderful sitter. She took care of our kitty Vester while we were away a few days. She wrote details summary on the visit and took many beautiful pictures of Vester. She always took care to make sure Vester has play time, treats, check on liter and water. She took great care to make sure Vester is comfortable and happy

Me and my two kitties loved Alyssa! She took time to write up a report card for each visit which I loved. I felt 100% comfortable having her watch them for a week while we were away on vacation!
