Information Alyssa & Michael s. would like to know about your pet
Let us know how your dogs are around other dogs, small animals, people. Where they typically like to walk. If there's anything we need to look out for, such as trash they may like to pick up, or if ticks are known to be in the area! Anything you feel is important to the wellbeing of your animals and we will make sure to follow any and all instructions!
A typical day
We both love hanging with your pets, especially fetch, jogs, just hanging and sniffing around! With cats, we love to give head scratches, pets, and play with any toys you they may have!

Pet care experience
Hi! We are Alyssa and Michael :) We are both huge animal lovers and treat every pet like they’re our own. We’ve been caring for animals for years, especially dogs and cats, but alyssa also has experience with fish, rabbits, and birds. Alyssa used to work for a professional dog-walking company, Thumping Tails, where she worked with 50+ families, handling everything from walks and feedings to cleaning up, playtime, and just giving pets the attention they need while their owners are away. Even after leaving, a lot of those families have stayed in touch and still trust me with their pets, which means a lot to me. I’m happy to provide references if needed! We are both very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and have worked with different breeds (small to large, you name it), from puppies to seniors, varying energy levels, and even pets with disabilities or special needs. We both also have experience giving medications when needed. We are both cat owners ourselves, so we totally get that every cat has their own personality. We’ve worked with friendly cats, shy ones, and the “I’ll come to you when I’m ready” types. I’m very patient and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. We both offer walks (quick, short, or long), drop-ins, playtime, and can even help with pet socialization if that’s something you’re looking for. Also happy to just stop by to give your pet some love and attention! Right now we are not offering boarding, but we both have experience with house sitting through both freelance work and my previous company. We are both very easygoing, reliable, and really pay attention to the little details on whatever instructions you leave, l follow them closely to keep your pet happy and comfortable. Feel free to reach out anytime! We hope to meet you and your pets soon! — Alyssa + Michael🐾

Reviews
Alyssa is amazing! She was very responsive and organized. She took good care of our cat and left detailed visit notes. She was our first Rover cat sitter experience and we were glad that we were able to have her taking care of our cat while we enjoyed our vacation. Will def rebook with her for our future trips.
Michael was our primary walker for Winston and he was INCREDIBLE with him. Winston is a BIG puppy and has a lot of energy and love to give and Michael handled him like a pro, while keeping us informed along the way. You’d be lucky to have him as your walker. Our dog Winston LOVES him. We definitely will be booking again.
Alyssa is friendly, responsive, and easy to work with! She was EXCELLENT with our rabbit while we were away and communicated very thoroughly throughout the booking. He clearly enjoyed their visits and we can’t wait to rebook with her again soon!
Alyssa & Michael took great care of our lovely cat Cinnamon. We’ll definitely use them again in the near future, if they’re available. Very appreciative!! 🐈🐾
