Pet care experience

Pets are family!

*Note: I am unable to provide 24-hour, constant care. I do overnights and weekends but I work M-F, 8 am to 4:30 pm in Carlisle. Most clients have me stay over night and have someone let their pups out during the day. I have worked with dogs for 25+ years, mostly dog sitting and volunteering. I am pet CPR and first aid certified and can give insulin injections. I am also a Pet Loss Bereavement Specialist. Special needs and older dogs hold a place in my heart. I have experience with almost every kind - all ages, breeds and sizes. I am also a crazy cat lady, they were my first true love! Some info about me: I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Humanities from Penn State in 2007 and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Criminal Justice. My full-time job is with Cumberland County. In my free time, I love attending charity fundraisers and cooking for my family. I’ve been vegetarian since I was 10 years old. I currently have a very sweet Doberman mix and three naughty kitties. I live with my husband, so he is with our critters when I do overnight pet care in others’ homes. Having someone come into your home and watch your precious babies is not a responsibility to take lightly. I promise to respect your home, privacy, and most importantly, your fur babies. Sending updates to you for peace of mind a priority of mine! I’d love to meet you and your critter crew!

Alyssa was great! She sent me pictures and my dogs warmed up to her immediately. I will definitely use her again.

Alyssa is incredible. Our blind dog is fearful of new people. She sat on our floor and hand fed her to gain her trust. I am completely blown away by her compassion and dedication. I will absolutely be a repeat client :) thank you Alyssa!

Alyssa is amazing! We’ve used her for housesitting and our little guy loves her. So responsive and we know she loves him.

Alyssa was FANTASTIC!!! This was my first time ever using this or any type of pet sitting app! Alyssa made me so comfortable with not just my fur babies but my home as well! I received two check in reports a day along with photos! Absolutely will be requesting her again when I go out of town!

The more details you can provide, the better I can care for your critters! There is no such thing as leaving too much info for me.
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.
