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 so so kind! She watched my two kitties and she was very thorough and incredibly reliable! I felt completely comfortable leaving my two kitties with her care. Would 100% recommend!!

Alyssa was amazing! She took such great care of our 3 cats and hamster, doing daily drop-in visits. She was thorough, attentive and kept everything so clean while we were away. We loved seeing her Rover Cards and pictures of what our pets were up to while we were on vacatoon. We would trust her with our pets anytime!

Alyssa took such great care of my two kitties. She visited them twice a day to make sure they were fed, tended too and entertained! I will definitely reach out to her again!

Alyssa took care of my sassy kitty for two weeks while traveling over seas! She updates each visit with photos and a note of how the visit went, which is super reassuring!

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.
