I’m home from college so I’m free most of the day to care for pets whether it’s a walk, visit, to play, etc. I will be moving back to Richmond for college August 15th! I have family at home to watch my own pets so I can stop by and visit whenever if it’s at a reasonable time.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m fairly perceptive of pet moods and, especially with cats, can tell when pets wanna be left alone or want to play. My pets all have different personalities so I can adapt fairly well to different personalities. I let pets out regularly and am down to play if they’re bored.

Information Alyssa J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets are more or less affectionate, if they like cuddles, etc. Also if they are runners and if they’ll try to escape if I leave a door open too wide. Thanks!

A typical day

I love to play fetch and tug-o-war with dogs. We can go out for walks too! I also love to play with cats too with the feather bell wands if they’re playful. Of course petting too for all the pets.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life and have always had pets since I was a kid. I’m really friendly with my friends’ pets and sometimes I’m more excited to see their pets than them😂. I’ve watched over some of my friends’ pets from time to time (cats and dogs). I have experience with both small dogs and large dogs as my one dog is a miniature dachshund, and my other is a Great Dane/German Shepherd Mix.

Alyssa is wonderful and our go-to choice for in-home pet care. She recently cared for our two cats while we were away on a weeklong vacation. She was diligent with their care and respectful of our home, but what truly sets her apart is the extra attention and kindness she brings. Alyssa understands that our pets are family. She did not just feed them and clean up after them carefully; she also spent time talking to them, petting and playing with them, and giving them the love and care they are used to. She is the total package: professional, trustworthy, and genuinely wonderful. Choose Alyssa, and you can feel confident that your pets and home are in the very best hands.

Alyssa is very caring and evidently a big pet-person especially with dogs. She is patient and responsible with pet needs and very attentive to detail. Alyssa is definitely worthy of your trust

Alyssa is a kind and compassionate young woman who loves animals of all different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. She has shown patience with timid cats and played enthusiastically with rambunctious puppies. She is strong of character and very respectful when in another person’s home. She would be an excellent choice for pet care.
