Safety, trust & environment

I tend to have an easy time gaining the trust of my new furry playmates, especially when I bring treats, but I am also careful to follow all dietary needs and any other requests from the owner. I know how important it is to be able to trust that your sitter will take care of your pet with kindness and respect. :)

Information Alyssa J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any allergies (I often come with a pouch of tiny soft training treats to make new friends.) It’s also helpful for me to know what to expect regarding how they do on a leash or when passing near other dogs or people while on walks.

A typical day

I enjoy doing all the typical things dogs love, walks of course, but especially fetch because have a Nerf tennis ball launcher! I’m also happy to work on some basic obedience and leash skills if desired, just let me know.

Pet care experience

Hi! Last year my 3 year old pup Cora accompanied me on a 6-month, 1800 mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. That experience gave me so much time to focus on how to best meet her needs, including socialization, recall, and the obedience needed to stay safe and calm in new situations. Now I am back and I would love to spend some quality time with yours too! - I enjoy taking care of cats as well, which I have had many of throughout my life. More recently I have some done newborn kitten fostering, and support my teenager daughter’s grassroots TNR program.

Thank you Alyssa My cats felt comfortable with her right away and absolutely adore her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter

Alyssa did a really great job stopping by and taking care of our cat, Rootie, while we were gone! It was great to be away and know that Rootie would be well taken care of and given some love and playtime. Our cat seemed so content and happy once we arrived home. Would definitely book Alyssa again! Thank you so much!

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.
