Availability

Rover is my current main gig, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that varies based off of current bookings. I offer drop in visits and walks. I don’t offer long walks after sunset. I am available after sunset if it’s “in yard/neighborhood pee break”. I am not accepting 60 minute walks/drop ins for new client recurring visits. If you are looking for a 60 minute visit for a specific date, I may be available depending on my current schedule at that time. I do not offer recurring weekend visits. If you are looking for specific date visits on either a Saturday or Sunday, I may be available according to my updated calendar.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the guidelines set by the owner. I will follow feeding schedules, crating instructions ect.. I follow the “rules of the road”. I’m also hyper aware. I notice everything going on around me. I do my due diligence to use this to our advantage on walks and visits to ensure safety. I am fun and good natured, while maintaining the role of “temporary captain”. I build relationships with pets and read body language. I read their behavior to understand their current boundaries. I work with them where they are at as far as their trust level with me, which helps build that relationship to the next level. If you want a friend, be a friend.

Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet

-diet, feeding times, and preferred water, e.g., filtered or from the sink. - your pet’s behavioral tendencies, especially pertaining to interacting with other animals and people - daily accustomed habits -rules of the house + behavioral rules (including walks) e.g., Is your pet allowed on the furniture? - An “in case of emergency plan”

A typical day

I love to cuddle, play fetch, and go on walks. I am a responsible adult with the heart of a child. Fun is inevitable. :) Im affectionate and love to just sit and “chat” with animals. Sometimes I listen to music and sing to them. If your pet has a preferred recreational activity, I’m most likely willing to try it out!

Pet care experience

Before Rover, I worked multiple jobs pet sitting and dog walking. I worked in a kennel part-time for about 6 months as one of my first jobs. Previously, pet care was one of my side gigs. I started full time pet sitting on Rover in July 2023. I am playful, fun, and caring. I’ve worked with many different animals of different temperaments, needs, and backgrounds. I’m a firm believer in co-existing with all life forms. I treat every creature with love.

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.
