Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Dog Walker & Cat Sitter
Hello! I'm Alyssa, and I'm so excited to share my love for animals with you and your family! I have been caring for animals just about my whole life- whether that be cats, dogs, fish, or exotic reptiles! I started fostering shelter animals with my family around 12 years of age, when we would foster pregnant mother cats and help mom and kittens find homes. I've also been known to pet-sit and house-sit for my neighbors (I even got to meet some chickens along the way!).

Ratings and reviews
Thank you again, Alyssa! I know Penelope loves seeing you and I am so grateful we found you. You have been the best, most reliable and sweet addition to caring for my sweet girl.
Alyssa is great with our WPG Gilly! She is sweet and kind and Gilly is always sooo excited to see her coming! Prompt service and great communication! I highly recommend her!
Thank you for dropping in on Archie.
Alyssa has watched my two large dogs numerous times and I have never had any issues. She loving and caring to my older dog and she also has the energy to keep up with my younger shepherd. Will use her again.
Alyssa has been helping take care of Penelope for about 6 months now. I am so happy with her service! I was afraid of leaving my dog at home during my long work hours, but not any more. I don't know what I would do without her.

Schedule
Though I'm currently working full-time, my entire routine revolves around my animals and their care! Every day, my dogs are fed on time, provided fresh water, let outside to potty, and cared for on a routine to ensure they are always comfortable and safe. The same applies to my cat, but she does not go outside! :) Weekly, everyone is brushed, re-stocked on food, and bedding is cleaned. Pet care isn't something to just squeeze in when possible. It is intentionally built into my schedule, because their well-being depends on me and my consistency.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Though I tailor my care to each pet and their needs, my main goal is to ensure your pets feel safe and sound. I strive to keep your furry friends comfortable by maintaining routines in their own environments (such as drop-in visits). This is why it is important to me to meet your pets before my first time dropping in or pet-sitting for your family. I will treat your pets just as my own, which means fresh water, timely feedings, frequent potty breaks, walks, brushing, and/or litter box cleaning- if applicable. I also love sending regular updates to owners, so everyone stays confident while their pets are in my care!
Pets
A typical day
I absolutely love playing fetch with my big guys and make sure to take them on walks to burn off some extra energy before I head out for the day. On those cold winter days when the snow is too tough on their paws, I keep them entertained with stimulating toys and treats like lick mats, puzzles, and snuffle mats. I'd be thrilled to do the same for your pets (with your approval, of course!) - keeping them engaged, happy, and cozy, no matter the weather!
