I'm Alyssa and I love dogs. I have a passion for dogs and really enjoy being around them. I work full time at a school as a teachers aide.I have a small shih-tzu, that lives with my family in Sacramento. As far a dog watching and dog walking, I have experience within this field. I have experience dog sitting overnight as well. I will play, run and hang out with your pup :) I have open availability weekday afternoons and open on weekends. Also I can take your pup on hikes. My favorite hike spots are Uvas, Almaden Lake trail, Alum Rock Park. Willing to travel within San Jose, South Bay and East Bay.

Pet care experience

Greetings, I'm excited to take care of your pet and that is my number goal. I have dog sat, fed, bathe, groomed, walked, gave medications, and provided nurturing attention to many dogs in the Bay Area. I have taken care of senior dogs with joint and hip issues along with other health concerns. I have experience with various breeds and love them all 😁

Our dogs were super happy. Alyssa did a great job with both of them including our almost 14 year old girl.

Alyssa consistently provides excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue and has been temperamental with other sitters but Alyssa has the right amount of experience with other dogs to care for him appropriately.

Alyssa was amazing. She took such great care of our pup and home. Sent messages with updates and left our home cleaner than it was when we left. Would highly recommend her.

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.
