Pet care experience

Your fur baby deserves the best!

I have always had an animal in my life since the day I was born. My family had gotten a dog a year before I was born and had grown up with her until she passed away when I was in high school. Not only did I help take care of her by taking her on walks and feeding her, I also had a guinea pig, another family pet, our cat Fiona, and my siblings animals throughout my time growing up. My love of animals has come through how I was raised because my household was always filled with some form of furry animal. This ranged from my cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even goats at one point. I got my first dog my freshman year of high school after our family dog passed and took on the whole responsibility by myself. I have taken care of three dogs at once and this included bathroom breaks, walks, being fed two-three times per day, lots of cuddles, ensuring they always had a full water bowl, and even administering medication for one of the dogs. I am now a proud owner of a golden retriever puppy, miniature English bulldog, and my cat Eskimo. I also dog sit every now and then for one of my friends who also has a golden retriever, and our dogs love going on hikes through the woods together, along with going on swimming adventures this summer!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am a very reliable and respectable individual and will not do anything with your pet unless permission has been asked/given. If there are certain rules or requests for the job, I will follow them accordingly and respect whatever you ask for the time I help take care of your pets. During my time with them, I will treat them as I would hope someone watching my pets would with all the love and attention they deserve.

Alyssa was wonderful with our Ella. She sent many pictures and kept us up to date. She has great communication skills, is thoughtful and prompt. We will definitely book her again!

Alyssa is amazing with our 2 elderly, finicky and quirky cats! We have never felt this comfortable leaving them with a sitter prior to meeting her. She is an excellent choice to care for your pets and your home.

I was sold on Alyssa after our initial meet n greet! She is so sweet and kind & I never worry about the care our dog is getting whilst we are away. She goes above and beyond to meet whatever requirements your pup needs and also takes care to ask instead of assume, before doing anything out of the ordinary . She took our boy to Partridge Creek and got him treats, to the dog park for chuck it and even invited him to her home with her pup. Alyssa is a dream,,, so happy we found her.

Alyssa was the best! Upon 5 minutes of meeting her my husband and I were completely comfortable leaving our puppy with her!

I am currently a full-time grad student at UofM-Flint. I have breaks throughout my schedule that would allow me to care for your animals in anyway needed during the day to help maintain their normal routine!

Alyssa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would really appreciate knowing your dogs daily schedule ranging from usual potty breaks, when they typically eat, any medications that need to be administered, if they wear a leash or shock collar when going outside, and even if they are allowed to have extra treats or even on furniture or not.
