Alyssa can care for
Availability
I provide drop ins and walks for clients. I give injection biweekly for a dog. At home, my pup has a morning routine - allergy medicine, hip and joint treats, salmon oil then her dental chew. Her routine keeps me on a schedule. In the evening she receives skin and coat treats and a doggy ice cream and I think that's her favorite time of day.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard. I have space to crate if needed. In your home, I typically try to keep your pet in their regular routine.
Information Alyssa R. would like to know about your pet
I will always need to know breed, history, health problems, temperament, triggers and any other necessary things like medications, vet, emergency contacts, how their socialization is with people and other animals, any much need to know information! I like to try to do a meet and greet before taking any job because it is important to meet you and have you meet me and the sweet fur babies know who exactly is taking care of them! I also have questions I like to get written down with information on the pets! Meet and greets are for the safety and comfort of all. It's so helpful to be filled in on the schedule all the likes and dislikes and everything in-between! It's important to know commands and any training hand signals. If you have an out of control or high energy pup, what do you do to manage them? For meet and greets I prepare a list of questions and I take notes! I like to be shown what things are, where to find things, etc as I am a very visual person! I do not put a time cap on the meet and greets but I try to think of everything I can to write down for myself and if anything is forgotten I will ask or vice versa! I try to work around your schedule, too and not take up too much time.
A typical day
I love to walk, so we can walk. I'm familiar with dog puzzles. Tug play? We can do it. Chase down a ball? No problem!

Animals Have a Lot To Teach Us
Pet care experience
I'm insured! First time Rover users: use this link for $20 off your booking. https://www.rover.com/sit/alyssr71396 I may be an over communicator. I am responsible and reliable; I try to honestly put myself in the shoes of pet parents I watch for and apply my own experiences. The major thing I am hearing from pet parents about myself is they get a good feeling about me!! I grew up with animals my whole life - namely dogs but there are cats in our history as well. My parents and I had them growing up, my mom's sister, her parents - we all have dogs, have had cats!! I can't imagine a time in my life where having the sweethearts did not help me get through tough times. I typically rescue as an adult, though. Treasured little gems that just await discovery. I know me, myself, I know how much love I have for animals and I think my knowledge and experience and teachings prove to make me well worth it!! Just to let you know more.... In the past I worked for a pet sitting company! I volunteered for a while at animal rescues and it was honestly some incredibly fulfilling work! I worked more closely with dogs and cats but when I lived in East Texas I did volunteer work at an equine rescue as well! Between 2015 and 2017 i took online courses and got certifications for pet sitting and other dog, cat and exotic animal online courses. I studied behavior, pet sitting, health, grooming, diet, first aid and more!! Some things I have the knowledge but not full hands on experience of being taught by someone else. I care so much for animals. Animals have been there for me my whole life honestly. I've had dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, rats and I've also cared for horses and some other farming animals and besides rats and rabbits also Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and mice. I am very dedicated and I pride myself on trying to go above and beyond. I am so passionate about animals and i have so much love to dedicate to your pets!!! I view every pet as a child of yours and if not a child then a very near and dear part of family. I treat them respectfully and try my best to give the best care possible. What else to say? I've learned a lot in the online courses I took. They branched from general care and pet sitting to health issues and many other things. I am very passionate about animals. I love them so much. All kinds. I have so much respect for them and nature and I truly believe a lot can be learned from them.

Reviews
We love Aly. She is moving out of our area and will miss using her. I can highly recommend her.
Aly worked us in on short notice and as always did a fantastic job! I highly recommend her she will take care of your animals like her own
Alyssa was attentive and communicative, sending lots of pictures, perceptive remarks, and updates. She conducted a thorough interview/meet and greet before the trip and even helped clean up stray litter.
Aly has taken great care of our 2 cats on several occasions. She knows their personalities now - when to give love and when to give space! She’s very detailed in her notes and sends lots of pictures :)
