Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, dog crates, and even a dedicated "pet room" in my home. I also like to use the vertical space for my cats and give them lots of shelving and perches for them to climb and view the windows.

Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet

I always do meet and greets so we can go over potential care needs. I really like to be thorough and prepared for any scenario.

A typical day

I will take your pet's cues on how to spend our time. I've taken bold dogs on "sniffaris" as far as their nose will take them, and I have let shy cats feel safe in their hiding spot without bothering them, plus everything in between.

Pets are family to me

Pet care experience

I know how scary it is to entrust others with your pets, especially if you are like me and have an anxious/reactive pet. I volunteer with a local shelter, and they've taught me so much when it comes to minimizing stress in animals as much as possible. I will treat your pets like I treat my own, with a focus on comfort, reducing stress, and respecting boundaries in what your pet might find to be a new or scary situation.

Alyssa was super communicative and thorough. Her skill with cats was evident from the meet and greet and I'm so grateful for that peace of mind she gave me. Even better, my tortie trusted her enough to be talkative and ask for pets from her. Thank you so much!

This was my third time having Alyssa do drop ins for my cat while I’ve been out of town and I can’t say enough great things! I’m so appreciative to have a sitter I can competely trust and know she’ll give my cat all the love, food, pets, and care while I’m away. I recommend Alyssa without hesitation and will definitely book again!!

Alyssa took care of our skittish cat who needed medications as well as our friendly outgoing cat while we were away. She was communicative, reliable, and professional. She even rinsed the cat dishes when they were done! It was so nice to know the cats (even the complicated one with injections) were in good hands. Alyssa was thorough and trustworthy and we would definitely book her again as well as recommend her to friends!

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.
