Information Alyssa R. would like to know about your pet

1. Feeding amount & schedule or if any medications need to be given. 2. Preferences outside for on or off leash. 3. If your pup requires kenneling when I’m not home or overnight (kennel can be provided). 4. And lastly, any risk of getting into things or chewing up/ ingesting certain toys.

A typical day

I love having a large backyard with plenty of room for exercise and trails for the dogs to go exploring in the woods! I take the dogs on several walks each day. My pups love running and playing with everyone as well. And, I can offer inside enrichment with puzzle/ interactive toys on rainy days.

Animal Lover, Vet Tech & Trainer

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals & training dogs my whole life. I watch dogs of all ages & sizes, cats as well, and ensure that they have the best of care. I currently have a Brittany, Blaze, a German Wirehair, Ember, and a Labrador, Trigger, who all love to have playmates!! They are well socialized and do typically travel with me for house sitting. I have been pet watching and house sitting since 2014. Word of mouth spreads through the network of clients I see everyday while working as a veterinary technician and certified trainer. I enjoy taking pups with me hiking or camping. Also, I think added enrichment and interactive toys are a great way to keep pups mentally and physically active during the day. I can also offer additional services such as grooming, medication administration or basic training as needed. I'm looking forward to hearing from more passionate pet owners like myself.

Alyssa was fantastic with our high energy pup. She kept us up to date while we were away, sent pics, and was quick to respond! Highly recommend!

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.
