Information Alyssa J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any commands or behaviors that you and your dog are working on and I'll help with them to the best of my ability! I'm happy to accommodate most special needs, just let me know the specifics and I'll make sure it's something we're all comfortable with. I'm definitely willing to learn if it's something I haven't had direct experience with yet!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs in or outside, take walks together, and have fun. I'll also give them all the pets and scratches they could ever want!

All pets lover!

Pet care experience

I am a huge animal lover and the only times in my life that I didn't have a dog and/or cat was when I was away for college. I have been pet sitting through Rover for almost 5 years and have sat for friends and family longer than that, up to 4+ pets at once! I have experience with both large and small dog breeds such as Golden Retriever, Standard Poodle, Shih-Tzu, Chinese Crested, and Chihuahua. I have a huge soft spot for blind dogs because my last family dog went blind at a young age due to a congenital condition. I also have experience with cats, rabbits, turtles, ferrets, and sugar gliders. Have another type of pet? With detailed instructions I'm willing to look after most household animals! Pet sitting is my only job currently so I have an open schedule to help with your pets! Weekdays and weekends available for walks, drop ins, and pet/house sitting. I am happy to comply with any and all rules (e.g. crate usage, furniture, leash use) you have for your pets in and out of your home to keep everyone happy and safe.

Alyssa did a wonderful job with both our dogs. We have a senior dog and an active working dog, and both are a handful. She was responsive to our texts and kept us updated. We will definitely book her again!

Alyssa did a great job with our cat Bella. This was our second time using Alyssa's services and very pleased. She even took great pictures of our cat daily! :-)

Alyssa is so fantastic every time I need her; she’s available and prompt and communicates really well. My dogs sit and take the best photos for her. I never doubt they are well taken care of when she is with them

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
