Pet care experience

Experienced Shelter Volunteer

I have volunteered at two animal shelters since 2021 where I've gained experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, cats, and rabbits. I have also been a pet-sitter for friends and family for a number of years. My family has always had pets since before I was born, and I've grown up with cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. Our current pet count is seven: six cats and one dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to take your dog on leashed walks or have unleashed playtime in a fenced area. Whether they need space or enjoy making new friends, I will ensure your dog is safe and comfortable when outside the home. I set alarm reminders for my own dog's potty breaks to keep track of her activity and ensure she doesn't have any accidents, and I will do the same for your dog! I am also very experienced with feline escape artists, so I will do my due diligence in ensuring that your doors, windows, and fences are secured.

Alyssa has watched my dog Ashton several times over the past couple of years. Each time I have had full faith and trust that she will provide Ashton with not only his basic needs but also give him ample love and care. Ashton gets worried and anxious when I have to leave him for days, but he has really bonded with Alyssa as she makes him feel safe and loved when I am away. Alyssa is an excellent choice for pet care, and with years of experience and a loving heart, you can know your pet will be well cared for!!

Alyssa has spent time with cats her entire life and dogs since elementary school. She not only has taken care of their physical needs in those years (walking, litter, food, water) but looks to understand their emotional needs as well. She understands each animal is unique and needs their own space to trust and interact. When volunteering at the animal shelter she would take time and let each animal come to her and would not force interactions. That is so important for an animal to feel safe and cared for - to know that they can interact on their own timeline and build trust. She loves all animals but also understands they are all unique and meets them where they are. She is a wonderful caregiver to animals.

I thoroughly recommend Alyssa to help out with your pets. We have a dog and 2 cats who love it when Alyssa comes to look after them. She is caring, dependable, diligent and trustworthy. Five stars.

Aly is the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She is incredibly comfortable, patient and caring towards animals (and people!). Having volunteer shelter experience has definitely provided Aly with invaluable experience’s with various animals. She is timely, respectful, responsible and solution oriented, even in the most stressful situations. Her curious bubbly personality, and genuine love for animals makes Aly the best person to care for your furry family members!!

Alyssa has worked for me, both walking my dog, and also cat-sitting. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is reliable, gentle with our animals, and with her work at pet rescues and with other organizations, she is extremely knowledgeable. She recently had to look after our diabetic cat who needed twice daily injections and she was so skillful and caring with our elderly cat. Our dog, Izzy adores her. I00% recommend.

Schedule

I am currently looking for an internship or a part-time job, so I have plenty of time during both weekdays and weekends to care for your pets! I love going on walks and spending time at the beach, as well as relaxing at home with a good book, so I am prepared for dogs of all energy levels and cats.
