Pet care experience

I will treat your pet like royalty!

I love all animals, and I will definitely love yours. I also care for cats! Growing up, I often took care of my sister’s Pomeranian, Minnie, for days at a time. She is my best friend! Other than 6-7 hour shifts at my part time job from Friday through Sunday, I am usually available 7 days a week and I am very flexible with emergency bookings. I can do House-Sitting (preferably in the Bergen/Hudson County area). I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, with more experience with smaller to medium-sized dogs. However, I am open to any sized pups. I have also taken care of multiple dogs at a time with no issues. I’ve also cared for cats for almost 8 years. I prefer being left a set of instructions and details on everything your furry friend(s) need(s). I will definitely make sure we have lots of fun, as I do with every doggie I care for! Potty breaks do not phase me, I will take them out as often as I have to. Additionally, I will always send many pictures throughout the stay so you know what we are up to. Hire me, and you most definitely will not regret it. :) I am at your service!

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to do whatever my clients ask of me, such as changing and rinsing water bowls, washing pet dishes, serving food, cleaning litter, etc. I also give the dog or cat as much attention as I can, playing with them and giving them lots of belly rubs.

Alyssa did such a great job with Sadie! She was so understanding with last minute requests. She gave our girl a good time and lots of cuddles. We would 100% book her again! Thank you Alyssa!

Schedule

I have a part time job in Fort Lee with varying 6-7 hour shifts from 7am to 10pm, Friday through Sunday. Otherwise, my schedule is typically very flexible.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Alyssa can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
It is essential for me to know beforehand what and how often your furry friend likes to eat and if they could enjoy some treats. I also would need to know how often the pet needs to go outside. Every pet is unique.
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.
