Experienced Vet Tech/Sitter

Pet care experience

I have handled dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I currently work per diem as an ICU Veterinary Nurse in Connecticut. I have worked as a nurse in the veterinary field for the past 6 years, and can likely provide any specialized care that your pet may need while in my care. I have a Bachelor's degree from UMass Amherst in Animal Therapy and Management. I currently work full time as a human nurse, and love to pet sit in my free time. My heart is with all of the fur babies! I have over a decade of experience working with many different canine breeds. In the past, I worked as a canine “Trainer in Training'' with a Dog Trainer that specialized in handling dogs with behavior challenges. I am more than willing to work with you and your pet to come up with the best and most comfortable care solution for everyone. Your fur family members will be in excellent hands with me, and I will treat them as if they were my own. I have experience working with a variety of other animals as well (cats, horses, donkeys, etc). * Follow my small business on Instagram (@AlyssaJoyAnimalCare) to see your pets featured!

We used Alyssa as a taxi to pick up our dog Gracie, then as a boarder for a single day. She arrived 20 minutes late to the scheduled taxi pick up time. When we arrived to pick up Gracie, Alyssa again was late - this time by 30 minutes. She texted saying she was late getting out of work, when we were already sitting outside her place. So this is not a real doggie daycare; this is someone using their apartment as an unsupervised dog holding area to make extra money while she is at work. We would have left our dog home alone at our house had we known. Then, once we got back home, Gracie was scared to eat dinner and looked very shaken. So something happened to her during a meal at the Rover. Overally very disappointed and would not recommend this Rover to anyone.

I would like to know the temperament of your animal, their regular feeding schedule, if they have any diagnosed medical conditions, and if they are on any medications. For boarding clients, I have my own dog that lives in my home, yours must be friendly with other dogs in order for me to care for them.
