Availability
I work from home two days a week, and on the other three weekdays, I’m in the office for just four hours at a time. That means I’m never away from the house for more than 5 hours – and I always make time for check-ins, walks, or play breaks before and after any outing.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a secure, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced large yard, perfect for supervised playtime, fresh air, and plenty of tail wags. Whether your pet loves to run, explore, or just relax in the sunshine, they’ll have the space and freedom to feel right at home. They’ll also be in great company! I have three friendly, well-socialized fur babies of my own who love meeting new pals and help create a warm, welcoming pack vibe. Whether your pet is shy or super social, I always take time to make gentle, supervised introductions to ensure everyone feels safe, happy, and respected. With constant supervision, personalized attention, and a calm home setting, your furry family member will be cared for just like one of my own.

Hi there! I’m Alyssa a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals! From playful pups and cuddly cats to majestic horses and even farm animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I take great pride in providing loving, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, grooming, administering medications, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own.

Reviews
Alyssa was wonderful with our dog! Our dog can be pretty wary of strangers, but Alyssa’s calm demeanor, patience, and understanding really helped her feel comfortable quickly. She didn’t seem fazed at all by our dog’s hesitation and gave her the time and space she needed to warm up. We will absolutely book with Alyssa again!
Alyssa saved the day! We had accidentally left a gate closed in the house and our cats couldn't access the litterbox upstairs. She lives nearby us and was able to be to our house so quickly and also gave our kitties some loving ❤️ very trustworthy and will absolutely use her again!
Alyssa was fantastic. Our cats loved her.
Alyssa has been absolutely amazing with my French Bulldog, Boss. From the moment they met, it was clear she had a natural connection with him. She’s not only incredibly responsible and reliable, but also so loving and attentive to his needs. Whether it’s sticking to his routine, giving him extra cuddles, or just understanding his quirky personality, Alyssa treats Boss like family. I never have to worry when he’s in her cares! she truly goes above and beyond.
