Compassionate, responsible petcare

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a student at Harvard Law and a former high school teacher. I love animals, and have cared for dogs and cats in petsitting contexts since I was a teenager. Last year, when our dog passed away, I started watching animals through Rover, and I found that I love it! My fiancé and I recently welcomed a puppy into our family, but I am still available for drop-in visits, walks, and some housesitting! I have cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including: -Golden Retrievers -Laborador Retrievers -Collies -Vizslas -Springer Spaniels -Cocker Spaniels -Brittanys -Schnauzers -Dachshunds -Pomeranians -Coton de Tulears -Sapsalis -Poodles -Goldendoodles -Labradoodles -Bernedoodles -Bernese Mountain Dogs -English Bulldogs -Pitbull Terriers -Boston Terriers

Alyssa was so great with my dog!! She sent the cutest pics of her from their walk, and my dog was such a happy girl when I got home. Will definitely be rebooking with her again!!

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I have had to administer medications for multiple animals and am happy to do so as needed.
