For cats i have 2 of my own of 8 years plus a recent rescue i brought inside so that makes 3. I take care of the community cats in my neighborhood as well! I get them spayed/neutered, shots, flea and worm meds. I also find homes for them if they are adaptable to inside. If not I provide warm outside houses with added heating pads in the winter. All because I feel they deserve better. I am very experienced with all types of cat personalities. I have gotten ferals to trust me. It takes time but is so incredibly rewarding when I get to pet them for the first time! I absolutely love all animals and will treat your just like my own. I have worked with many different dog breeds as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pup or cat all the love and attention they need! I am a huge believer that sticking to the regular schedule releaves separation anxiety! Im experienced in giving meds, clipping nails, bathing, and Basic commands as I have just recently started taking vet tech classes, I pride myself in being the best option not the cheapest option 🙂 I will always go above and beyond for you and your furry friend. I have lots of reviews talking about my responsibility, reliability, how the house usually looks better than when they left cause I like to clean. Just leave me a list of stuff to do while I'm staying in your home and it will get done 🙂

Information Alyssa H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dog or cat has any special needs like medications or special food ahead of time so I can be sure to write myself a detailed care list for your special companion.

A typical day

We will have sooo much fun while still maintaining the schedule your furry friend is accustomed too to reduce chances of separation anxiety. I enjoy making homemade dog and cat treats and I will of course always ask if they can have all the ingredients put into them.

Alyssa did great with our old boy, our trip was short but he still had a good time and we got lots of updates!

Alyssa cared for our cat, Mocha, for two days and stayed overnight at our home. This was our first time leaving Mocha for an extended period and using a cat sitter, so we were a little nervous but Alyssa put our minds at ease. It was clear that Mocha was comfortable with her—she continued eating, playing, and sleeping normally throughout the weekend. She even seemed to enjoy some in-depth conversations with Alyssa! We received regular updates and photos, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Alyssa also left our home neat and tidy. Overall, she did a fantastic job caring for both Mocha and our house. We would book with Alyssa again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Alyssa set our hearts at ease! It was our first time leaving our puppy with an overnight dog sitter (and we were first-time Rover users to boot), but she made the experience so easy and positive for us with regular check-ins and pictures/videos of our cutie having fun and getting all the love that we hoped she would receive. Alyssa is a direct, first-rate communicator and asked all the important questions to leave no ambiguity in expectation. She went above and beyond to accommodate our slightly neurotic pup's needs. I was truly so relieved to know that our girl (and home!) were in the hands of such a sweet and responsible human, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking trustworthy care for their fur baby.

Alyssa is amazing. She has given us so much confidence to travel without having to worry. She is so attentive and our cats love her. Our home smells good when we get home and any Cat owner knows how valuable that is. Highly recommend. Very trustworthy and reliable. Thank you, Alyssa.
