I work full-time and go to school, so pet care would be ideal in the evenings or just on the weekends. It really depends on the week.

Safety, trust & environment

Currently in our home we have two kittens, so feedings are scheduled twice a day. I’ve taught them to sit, follow, and show me their paws. All their training is clicker and treat based. Other cats that I take care of are usually just feeds, hanging out while they finish, some play time and clearing their litter before I leave.

Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if animals are low-energy or high-energy, if they enjoy long or short walks. Or for cats if they have certain toys they like or dietary restrictions for multi-cat households.

A typical day

i try to start with introductions, and then getting started with tasks (feedings or litter change/walks). Afterwards, always making time for some play and maybe training. I always check on water and ensure everything cleaned and put back in place before leaving.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and cared for my roommates and friends cats since moving to Philly (3yrs ago). I’ve pet sat older and younger cats! I currently work in animal behavior and enjoy training our kitties to sit and follow around the house, help establish their feeding routines, and ensure they get plenty of playtime!

Alyssa was so good with my high energy little kitty! Eveb thiugh he was more shy than usual she was patient with him and he warmed up enough to play. It was great peace of mind to know she was looking in on him while I was away. Thank you so much!
