I’ll treat your pets like my own
Pet care experience
I have had pets my entire life, from hamsters and guinea pigs to herds of cats, while I’ve never had a dog - I am looking forward to the day I have a yard and schedule that allows me to get one. I currently have 3 cats - all foster failures including one I scooped up from the streets of Jackson, MS. I would love to walk your dogs provide play time and cuddles to your cats. I can come by for drop ins - or stay over if your animal needs! While I can’t house your cat or dog I can commit to spending a bunch of time with them and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need while you are away.
Reviews
Alyssa is the best! She took excellent care of our cat over a long weekend. Our incredibly social and active kitty would have been climbing the walls and shredding the furniture if not for Alyssa spending quality time with her each day. We loved getting great pics of our girl enjoying snacks and playtime and scritches so we could relax and enjoy our time away. Alyssa was also gracious and flexible when our original plans changed and we had to cut our trip short. I will definitely look to work with Alyssa again in the future and highly recommend her to others.
Alyssa did such a great job with my two kitties!! She made certain they had everything they needed, and she went above and beyond to try make them feel comfortable while I was away. Alyssa sent detailed updates and great photos to put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her!
I always feel super comfortable leaving my kitty with Alyssa! Thank you for taking care of Mina.
Will hire again!

Safety, trust & environment
I only allow dogs off leash in a fenced in yard and with permission of the owner. I always do a meet and greet before confirming booking. With cats I ask where their favorite hiding spots are and will let them sniff me and come out on their own - I’ll stay until they do come out because I want them to be comfortable
Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is scared of people, nervous around other dogs or dog reactive or food reactive. I also love to know if they have favorite toys
A typical day
I love to take the pups out for walks and if there is a fenced in yard being able to toss a ball around and run around in the back with them.

Alyssa can watch in your home
Availability
I’m work from home Mondays and Friday so I have plenty of time to play with your pups those days and make sure they have enough playtime to burn off energy. If you have cats I always try to stay a little longer than an hour to make sure they get play time, plenty of lap time and a chance to get to know me so they aren’t nervous.
