Pet care experience

Always happy to help!

I am a recent graduate from Penn State with a passion for animals/pet care. I am now a current first year physician assistant student. I have two dogs of my own living back at my parent’s house and have a pet friendly apartment.I have extensive experience in senior care, as well as puppy care. I have a lighter summer class schedule that allows for weekend availability in addition to some mornings/afternoons, and always evenings. I have a passion for fitness and am able to run with dogs as well as spend extensive time with energetic pets!

House Sitting • Apr 26, 2026

Alyssa was very kind and professional. Communicated very well and even helped us find gaps in our coverage when we needed it. We are sad she is leaving our area! Would highly recommend

Drop-In Visits • Apr 05, 2026

Alyssa is the best! She communicated clearly during every visit, sent pictures, and took excellent care of our pets. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would use her every time we needed a sitter if we could!

Schedule

I have a flexible weekly schedule that changes each week. I have very few days where I am in class 8-5, so I am able to fit in pet care nearly every day. I am willing to work with pet owners to find times/dates that fit best!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a pet friendly one bedroom apartment with a dog park, and close access to trails for walking/going out. In terms of sitting in your home, I treat each house with the same respect I treat my own home. I am a rule follower and will adhere to what directions indicate. I typically do not do overnight stays, but am willing to discuss this with the pet parent based on location/sitting.

Pets

A typical day

Any dog I am sitting can expect frequent walks and play time! I am very active myself, so can play essentially all day if your furry friend needs!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Alyssa can host up to 1 pet per night
For sitting, walking, etc., I prefer to know your pet’s reaction to new people/faces. I am always happy to do a meet and greet before hand to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. The last thing I would want is to put them in a stressful situation!
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.
