Availability
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As an Equine-Assisted Psychotherapist (I get to work with people and animals at the same time, it truly doesn't get any better), I have the flexibility to work when I choose, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate various schedules. This means I can give your pets the time and attention they need, whether it's daily visits, longer stays, or just making sure they're happy and comfortable throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy by maintaining their usual routine, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, favorite toys, or daily walks. I take extra care to notice the details that matter to them—whether it’s a particular spot they love to nap in or their favorite way to play—so they feel secure and content in your absence. My goal is to make everything easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. By keeping things familiar and showering them with love, I’ll ensure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and well cared for.

Your Cat is my New Best Friend.
Pet care experience
With years of experience caring for all kinds of animals—from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, and more. I have a huge heart for all furry friends. I've welcomed so many pets into my home, from beloved companions to strays and rescues looking for love. Every animal deserves kindness and attention, and I take pride in creating a safe, cozy space for them. Whether it's snuggling with a dog, playing with a curious cat, or helping a shy pet feel safe, I treat every animal like family. Let me give your pet the same love and care I’ve shared with all the animals in my life!

Reviews


Alyssa has been attentive to detail and timely with the care provided to my cats, which is so relieving considering one of them takes topical medication twice daily. Alyssa is clearly caring, and treats the fur babies as if they are her own, basking in their love and affection, and ensuring they are in good health and spirit while under her watch. Therefore, I can feel confident and at ease when I am leaving my fur babies in Alyssa's care!
Alyssa is a wonderful pet owner and caregiver. She's a caring individual sure to meet your loving pet's needs. With two cats of her own, she never struggles to provide them the care and love they deserve. Sometimes I think she loves them more than me. She's also an active member of the stray cat community and cares for them as she can. She works with animals in her career as a Mental Health Therapist that provides equine therapy. She is surrounded by horses, cats, dogs, chickens, and donkeys on a daily basis! She is knowledgeable, empathetic, and the perfect person to keep your furry friends company.
