Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring & Responsible Pet Lover!
Growing up with large breeds (Bernese Mountain Dog & German Shepard), I’ve always been a lover of all pets, especially dogs. Since relocating to Blacksburg area for work 8 years ago, I’ve pet sat for a variety of animals in the region, ranging from puppies to senior dogs with specific medical needs. It would be an honor to meet and care for your pets!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alyssa was great and my dogs loved her. I felt good knowing that she was there while I was away to take them for walks. Would definitely book her again.
Alyssa checked in with pictures and updates while we were gone. During the meet and greet our slow to warm up dog accepted her and requested a pet. We would hire Alyssa again.
Alyssa has known and cared for our German Shepherd for years. She is mindful of any special requirements, including meds, and she has always loved our pup like own. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others!
Alyssa was great! We last a last-minute booking request and greatly appreciate her flexibility and responsiveness. Highly recommend.



Alyssa watched my pup more than once and has always been attentive, considerate of providing me with pictures, and making sure my dogs needs were met. Whether that was going on longer talks, adventuring around the area, or just snuggling, I know my pup was happy. She would get excited to see Alyssa again for her next overnight adventure and Alyssa was great about giving me photos of their time together and reassurance that they were having a great time.
Alyssa has been my go-to pet sitter for my dogs and cat for the last 5 years, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. She is responsible, responsive, and understands how hard it is for people to leave their fur babies in someone else's care. It's important to me to have a sitter that's going to love on my pets like they are their own, and you 100% get that kind of care with Alyssa. There's no question that they're being well taken care of and loved on while I'm gone. 10/10 recommend Alyssa for anyone needing pet care!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work full time at VT with some remote days per week, so it can be a flexible schedule. I am happy to adjust schedules or remote days to meet your pets needs!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I don’t have any pets in my current home, so I’m flexible to either board at my townhouse or stay at the pets home! I offer both options to all families and willing to drive up to an hour distance.
A typical day
I love playing fetch, playing with toys with them, and going on long walks around campus or the huckleberry or other nearby trials and parks.
