Responsible pet sitter/animal lover
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Alyssa and animals are a passion of mine. My two Rhodesian Ridgebacks are like my children and I spend my free time participating in various AKC dog sports with my and other people's dogs. I have always owned pets and couldn't see a life without them. I have extensive experience pet sitting dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats, and even rats & hamsters. I'm physically active so it won't be a problem tiring out your dog on long walks if that is what they require. I work from home and can bring my laptop anywhere so if I am pet sitting, your animals would not be left alone for extended hours as long as you have ample Wi-Fi. An animal's happiness is most important to me. I would want my pets to be in the best hands, so I have no problem applying that while working for you.
Reviews
Alyssa was wonderful! She took great care of my pup & sent me lots of updates while i was away. She communicates well & is very responsive. I will definitely call on her again!
Alyssa did a wonderful job with our dogs. She asked lots of questions to get to know our pups, their routine and how exactly she she care for them and our home. It is so great to be able to go on vacation and really relax knowing your furry family is being well taken care of. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.
Alyssa was an excellent cat sitter. She was great with our moody cat and was sweet enough to do a couple extra favors for us around the house like bringing the trash bins back from the street. We will definitely book her again!
Alyssa was great. The animals were happy and healthy and even snuggling with her. I will book again

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is of upmost priority to me. My animals are family and I would treat any client's pets as such. Animals can be nervous when their family is away so I very much understand that extra care and caution is needed while providing that companionship.

A typical day
My goal with pet sitting is for the animals to barely realize their families are away. Depending on each pet's personal needs, I would like to fill their day with fun and love. I myself play fun little games with my pets to provide enrichment between outings. I love to snuggle with dogs and cats (if allowed on furniture) and can provide a sense of comfort until you return. I prioritize keeping your home the way you left it. Also, my best friend is a veterinary technician so I have her available at all times as well for advice.

I work from home full time. I typically wake up between 6 and 7 am and finish work between 3-4 pm. I have meetings I conduct, but am flexible with being able to tend to animals and take breaks throughout my work day.
