Safety, trust & environment

Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for dogs for friends and family. I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away.

Information Alyssa J. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, I'd love to know your pet's daily routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any medications or medical conditions. It's also helpful to know about any fears or triggers (like thunderstorms, other animals, or strangers), as well as how they do when left alone. The more I know ahead of time, the better!

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I accommodate each day to their routine and needs. A typical day includes potty breaks, walks (if requested), playtime, enrichment, fresh food and water, and plenty of love and attention. I make sure pets have a comfortable, low-stress environment where they can relax, play, or cuddle! I also send regular photo and video updates, so you'll always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

Pet care experience

I've had pets my entire life and have spent several years caring for dogs and other pets for friends and family. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm happy to care for most small pets as well. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I'll treat them like they're my own and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away!

Alyssa caring, dependable, and responsible person who truly loves all animals. She is attentive to each pet’s individual needs, patient, and trustworthy. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have Alyssa care for their furry family members, and I would confidently recommend her as a loving and reliable pet caregiver.

Alyssa is fantastic with animals and loves each of them as if they we're a part of her own family. She has spent years dog walking and dog sitting and will spend meaningful portions of time to talk about her own dog Freddie. I thoroughly recommend Alyssa as a responsible pet caregiver and would count anyone's furry family as lucky to have her take care of them.

Alyssa is such a natural with pets. She gives them the space they need to get used to her and then it’s just like watching old friends. She meets new furry (and scaled) clients on their level and makes them feel comfortable and safe. Very responsible and very respectful to pet parents as well! Hiring Alyssa will give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are having fun with their new friend!

Alyssa is a very reliable pet caregiver and always puts pets first. Alyssa takes care of a dog of her own and has also pet-sat for many dogs throughout the years with glowing recommendations from every pet owner with the way she responsibly cares.
