Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals in my home—cats, dogs, birds, fish, hamsters, and we even had a horse! I’ve always been an animal lover, and finding a place where I could have my own pet was important to me when I moved into my own place after college. I currently have a fluffy tuxedo kitty named Nadia who constantly keeps me entertained! I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs (including “bully” breeds like pit bulls!), and am happy to take them on walks around the neighborhood. I’d love to stop by and cuddle your kitty, too—no discrimination from me on pet type! In either case, I’ll make sure that your pet gets plenty of love while you’re out. I look forward to meeting and hanging out with your furry friend.

Alyssa took great care of my two cats, for two weeks, including giving daily medication to one of them. I even got videos of them purring, so I know they enjoyed having her care for them as well.

Alyssa has been great and very patient getting to know our timid rescues. She understands dog communication and dynamics. I am grateful to find someone that is definitely a real dog person to pet sit our fur kids.

Alyssa was amazing. She took great care of my cat while I was away. She even took time to water plants which seem to be doing even better than when I left.

Availability

I am available on weekends, but also for evening drop ins and walks. I can also be available on weekdays for overnight stays depending on where you are located. I work in Santa Maria M-F, so I can really only do weekday house-sitting if you live in Santa Maria, in order to do mid-day checks and potty breaks.
