Cats

Availability

I am a full-time online college student, so I have lots of room in my schedule to accommodate your schedule! I will not be watching any pets in my house though, so if you’re needing a longer-term foster I may not be the best fit

Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if any of your pets are special needs, shy, indoor/outdoor, or just particularly quirky. I want to get to know your babies in our time together while giving them the best care possible!

A typical day

There is nothing cats love more than bothering someone who does not want to be bothered… with some of my clients with shy but curious kitties I will work on my laptop or crocheting while at their house, that way the shy cats can feel the presence of another persons and know they are not alone, but can come to me in their own time. For the playful babies, I love playing fetch and with all kinds of toys!

Experienced cat foster!

Cat care experience

Hi! I’m Alyssa and I have 4+ years of pet sitting and cat foster experience. I have fostered 40+ cats and kittens of all kinds; some shy, some mean, some who act like dogs, and some with medical needs. I am also a mom to 4 cats and would definitely describe myself as a cat person. I am looking for repeat clients so that I can build a trust with the pets and owners alike. Shy, skittish, slightly feral, and special needs babies don’t scare me! I’m not the type of pet sitter to fill a food bowl and go- I know how uneasy it can feel to leave your babies with someone new. I will provide regular updates and give them lots of love!

We are so grateful we found Alyssa! She is the greatest cat sitter! It gives us peace of mind knowing she is handling things while we are away. Thank you, Alyssa!

As always Alyssa was fantastic. I highly recommend her if you want great care for your pets. Won’t use anyone else.
