Information Alyssa R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or any behaviors that I should be aware of before our time together! My goal is to make you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible, as I know it's difficult leaving them!

A typical day

I love to stimulate your fur babies physically and mentally - We'll play a bunch of games and check out all the new smells in my neighborhood! I love taking my doggie for walks down The Greenway which just a couple short blocks from my home!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Alyssa! I've grown up with cats and dogs and have always had them in my life! I have been happy to take care of several friends and family members fur babies while they've been out of town, etc. and it's always been a great experience. I have to stop and pet and love on all doggos I see when I'm out - this is a known thing about me and I get made fun of for it all the time! Animals just bring so much love and joy to my life and I'd love to get to know yours! I work from home full time and will be able to give your pet tons of love and attention! My availability is pretty open and would love to talk with you about your needs for your pet! Your pet will be fed based on the feeding schedule of your choice, and will be able to go outside in my fenced in backyard as often as you'd like (mine goes outside about once every 1-2 hours)! Your pet will be allowed on all furniture (unless otherwise requested by you) and will have whole-home-access during their visit (again, unless otherwise requested).

alyssa was very professional and communicative offering photos and a short video to let me know my kitty was in good hands. my normally shy kitty was intrigued and even approached her during her visits for some love! <3 definately would book again.

Alyssa did a great job with Bigsby and was able to accommodate some last minute switch ups. He seemed right at home.

Alyssa has been a great cat sitter for us. Communicates frequently and quickly, sends reassuring updates with pics & videos, and provides good care and attention to our cat. We trust her 100% and I'm sad to be moving out of state and losing such a good sitter.

Alyssa is so great. After we hammered out a few details, she was willing to take a chance on my unconventional request to board our cat in her home for a week while we listed our house and had several open houses planned. He is admittedly pretty easygoing for a cat but you never know how a cat will do outside it's own environment. She took great care of him, sent regular updates for our peace of mind, and he came back to us healthy and happy. She is sweet, communicative and caring. Definitely an animal lover. Her home was very clean and pet friendly. Really can't recommend her enough. We would absolutely rebook with her if we weren't moving out of state.
