Highlights
Pet care experience
Little buddies new best friend!
Hello, pet parents. 💛 Caring for animals has always been one of the most grounding and meaningful parts of my life. As a Navy veteran and someone who has worked in both the veterinary field and the shipyards, my life has taken many turns — but the one constant has always been the comfort, joy, and unconditional love that animals bring into the world. Life has changed a lot for me recently, and through all of those transitions, spending time with pets has remained a source of peace and purpose. I truly believe animals notice when someone shows up with patience, gentleness, and genuine care — and that’s exactly the energy I bring into every visit. At home, I share my life with two dogs, a pig, and a cat who each have their own stories, quirks, and needs. Loving them has taught me how deeply pets feel, how much trust matters, and how important it is to meet each animal exactly where they are — whether they’re shy, elderly, excited, anxious, or independent. I’ve supported pets through medical needs, behavioral quirks, fearfulness, and everything in between. I take my time, I sit with them, I talk to them, and I let them come to me in their own way. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. With my home already full of its own personalities, I offer drop-ins and walks only, allowing your pets to stay where they feel most secure — in their own home. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were part of my own little family. If you’re looking for someone gentle, patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I would be honored to be that person. Thank you for considering me to care for someone so precious to you. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathery… or even hooved!) companion. 🐾💕

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as if they were my own regardless of any extra care they might require. I also adhere to any guidelines or routines strictly. I also try my best to help make your trip easier on you by helping with small tasks around the house (if asked).
Ratings and reviews
Alyssa is our # 1 pet sitter while we are on Vacay. She has a gentle and sweet countenance with our Ms Sunshine. She easily adapts to our household routine for feeding and nurturing our kitten that minimizes trauma during our long trips. She's prompt, precise and personable. Highly recommended!

Alyssa is always wonderful with our 3 fur babies. She gives them individual attention and makes them feel secure while we are away. We were having extreme heat while we were gone so she even checked on my chickens to make sure that they were doing okay. I highly recommend her to anyone.



Such a good sitter that I can trust with my kitty! Love the photo updates!

Absolutely the best! The only person we will book with!


Alyssa took such good care of my cat! She sent cute photos and updates every day and was quick to notify me when he was congested and not feeling well. I would definitely recommend her! I felt at ease knowing she was checking on him.

Alyssa M. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
