Pet Care Professional of 10+ Years
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Alyssa and I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am a seasoned professional with 10+ years of experience working with clients of all breeds, ages and sizes in New York City. I moved to the Metro-Detroit area in 2022. Nothing is more important than knowing that your pet is in safe, loving care while you are away. I treat my pet clients as family and prioritize their needs above all else. I have cared for pets of all ages with many different medical conditions, as well as gone through long term medical care with my own pets, and am fully comfortable administering medication/providing specialized treatment. In New York City, I volunteered with animal rescue organizations, feral TNR’d cat colonies and foster programs. I am proficient in multiple dog training methods and can help provide training tips and techniques for behavioral corrections. I particularly enjoy working with rescues and watching their personalities shine as they gain comfort and confidence. Please feel free to message me with any questions about my experience and I hope to have the opportunity to care for your fur family!
Reviews
Once again Alyssa did an outstanding job sitting for our puppy!
We chose Alyssa to look after our two cats while we were in Paris for a week and a half. The first problem was our wifi went out, so we couldn't see any of our stuff. No biggie. But then Alyssa called and said the front door latch had broken and she was afraid if she locked it she wouldn't be able to get back in! We guided her to a garage door opener so she could get in and out through another door. Crisis averted. Oh, any my husband talked her through resetting the wifi. Then my mother (age 97) broke her leg and had to have surgery, so my brother and sister raced into town to be with her. Alyssa met up with my brother to get him into the house. Oh, and by the way, the boys were well taken care of. Our trip to Paris was lovely, thanks to Alyssa getting us through multiple problems at home.
We were initially happy to find Alyssa for daily visits, however she became more and more unreliable and was unable to follow instructions. We asked her to stop visiting after paying for 30 minute visits where she checked in but stayed in her car for all but 5-10 minutes of the visit but pretended to be there for an hour as captured by our ring cameras. I had also specifically asked her to make sure our dog was getting some time outdoors right from the beginning of the employment and she barely took him out for a wee most days, and never to the backyard where he poops, which we had shown her on the initial visit. I typically got more pictures of our cats, who were NOT what we paid her for. I am ok with being a little flexible around visit times but expect the sitter to at least let me know if they are not completing the visits.
Alyssa thanks so much for watching my three dogs while we were in Florida. I appreciate you even cleaning up some of the dog hair while I was gone. Looks like Kya made a new friend which is great for her.
