LGBTQIA+ friendly Unfortunately I do not host doggy daycare or boarding at this time. I will make sure you return to your home looking exactly (if not better) than as you left it.

Information Alyssa P. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to know before hand are: - Medications - Medical Concerns - Daily Routine - Emergency Contacts - Neighbor information if applicable - Any other relevant info about what your pet likes! Additionally, please make sure your pets are up to date on vaccines/flea preventatives to keep all my clients safe! **

A typical day

Allowing a dog to sniff is a great way to expel some additional energy if we are on a limited time frame. I love to spend time catered to each animal I watch and send plenty of pictures to pet parents during the visits!

Pet care experience

I have recently moved from Washington to Michigan, and would love to offer my services to West MI pet parents! Though my schedule is somewhat limited at this time, feel free to reach out. I have 3 animals of my own that I spend most of my free time with. I have experience volunteering with rescues, and have worked with a variety of critters from horses to geckos 🦎 Due to having a reactive rescue dog, safety is one of my biggest priorities. I go out of my way to be reliable, and will always make sure your pet is looked after both in your home and outside of it.

Alyssa was awesome with my two cats. She gave them lots of love, playtime, and fresh food and water. Honey can be shy but warmed right up to her and even sat on her lap. Loved the photo updates as well. I would rebook!

Alyssa is wonderful! She sends a full update on my pets and plentiful photos with each visit. It makes me reassured that my babies are in excellent hands!

Alyssa was AMAZING! As a first time Rover user she made me feel super comfortable having her watch my kitty Henry. Alyssa was very thorough and even went above and beyond during her visits. She left detailed notes about her visits and sent the best pictures. Would 100% book again!

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.
