Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alyssa. I am from Phoenix, Arizona and have lived in LA/ have been providing pet care professionally for 6 years. (I have plenty of references beyond this platform I can provide if interested.) I have been around dogs my entire life from labs, golden retrievers, chihuahuas, miniature dozens, mastiffs to mixed breeds and also had a variety of pets growing up (cats, birds, fish, hamsters and lizards!) I also take care of friends' pets all the time! I am known for my patience and gentleness with animals and believe in only positive reinforcement discipline practices. Animals warm my heart and seeing them while I'm out and about puts a smile on my face and really makes my day. Safety, love and exercise are my number one priorities when caring for animals. I will treat your pet with the utmost care and ensure that they get all the love and attention expected--and much more!

As the owner of multiple cats with medical conditions, I interviewed many sitters before hiring one. Since two of my cats suffer from IBD and are in need of medicine everyday, it was important to me find someone meticulous and caring. I decided to hire Alyssa and now I couldn’t ask for a better pet and house sitter than her! I am incredibly happy with her and so were my cats! I felt reassured and relieved to leave my cats in her care. She was incredibly detailed about following instructions and made a great effort to give my cats the best care possible as if they were her own. She regularly sent lots of pictures and kept me updated about my cats well-being and behavior, their eating, drinking and litterbox habits, medicine, etc. She made it a point to get to know them, their individual personalities and quirks, and took time out to play with them. She also was cognizant of adjusting the thermostat according to the weather and leaving the door locked. When I came back from my trip, my apartment was clean and neat. I am grateful that I can count on her for future trips!

Alyssa was a great dogsitter and house sitter. She sent me regular updates about my dogs health, demeanor, walking behavior, and eating behavior. I got regular pictures and videos too. She took great care of the house and my dog. I would 100% have Alyssa watch my dog again.

Alyssa was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving Kit Kat alone for the first time, but instantly felt reassured after Alyssa's first drop in and didn't worry once the rest of my vacation. Alyssa left very detailed notes about her visits- including tons of cute pictures, updates about Kit Kat, detailed descriptions of how much she ate, used the litter box, drank, etc., and reassurances that my apartment was the right temperature and that the doors were locked each night. I had a great experience- I highly recommend Alyssa and hope to use her again myself in the future!

Hi Alyssa!! Thank you so much as always :D. I think my friend may be coming to stay in October but we have a few other trips planned this year and I will give more notice this time this weekend was spontaneous. Thank you for bringing the packages in and scooping the box. The cat mate is like an auto feeder so fine to just add on top of it. Hopefully next time pearl comes out ❤️😻

Safety, trust & environment

SAFETY, TRUST AND ENVIRONMENT: When I care for a dog I ensure that they are safe, comfortable and in good health at all times. I look forward to meeting more dogs and developing long term friendships/ bonds with them. Animals are a delight to be around and I try to be around them as much as I can! I am great at observing your pet(s) and getting to know their ways, habits, triggers and behavior. I also keep an eye on their pees and poops to check for anything out of the ordinary. *For walks: I am very aware of hot temps and am able to adjust walks accordingly which may include: shorter outings, walking in the shade, shade breaks, ice water breaks, balancing dogs energy with heat and checking for hot pavements. I also do my best to make sure they don't eat anything along the walk and can keep them on a tight leash if needed.

Information Alyssa R. would like to know about your pet

**I am completely fine with nanny cams as long as I am notified beforehand! Before I take on a new canine client I like to have a meet and greet and learn all about you and your pup. Fill me in on all the following areas: Daily routines: waking, meal time, treats, walking and sleep /nap times. Favorite: walks routes, games, toys and treats Medical needs or concerns Diet, allergies Training cues Sneaky ways Hiding Spots Behavioral concerns Vet/ Emergency info And anything else you think I should know!

A typical day

I always make sure the temperature is good in the home and regularly provide fresh, cool water clean bowls. If your pet is allowed treats, I will make sure they get their daily treats as well! I ensure your pet will get the proper attention, affection and playtime that they need. For cats: I make sure to scoop daily and also offer cat litterbox cleaning/ sanitizing service for $25 for the first box and $10 per additional box if requested! For Dogs: I love to get out and about with pups! LA is full of lots of green areas and sidewalk friendly. If they are comfortable around other dogs, I would be happy to take them to dog parks! I enjoy hiking/ staying active as much as I can and feel more comfortable doing so when I have a dog to go with, I feel safer and it’s of course more fun-- My car is dog-friendly as well! We will, of course, follow your instructions and base the whole day around your dog’s usual routines. We would go for long walks, have playtime, cuddle time and more playtime.
