Pet care experience

Stay Pawsitive in Dexter

NOTE: Generally on Tuesdays and Thursdays (and most Fridays) I am only available after 6 pm. At this time, I can only accept recurring walks/visits during the day on Mondays and Fridays if they are within 5 minutes of Dexter Crossing. I cared for our recently departed Maltese/Shih-Tzu for over 20 years as well as several cats--our two current cats are 10 years old and 2 years old. I recently adopted a Westie/Chihuahua who is 5 years old. I've also fostered kittens and provided care for other families over the years and am comfortable administering medications. I am open to watching cats, birds, hamsters, etc. Let me know your needs and I will be happy to work with you!

Thanks!! If you pick him up and carry him to the road he’ll be more likely to walk. But I just wanted someone yesterday to check in and feed him and entertain him even more than “walk” him so it was perfect. He LOVES to just lay on grass.

Alyssa took incredible care of our three cats while we were away for a week! One cat required a daily pill which was no problem for her. Highly recommend!

Alyssa took great care of my 2 cats and one of them who normally hides from new people let her pet him right off the bat.

Great experience! Alyssa took care of our two kittens while we were out of town for a couple of days and everything went smoothly. Both kittens seemed extremely happy and the updates were great.
