Safety, trust & environment

Have other pets other than dogs? No problem. I am willing to work with any animals! Many of the bookings that I've completed included me staying the night at the client's home. I am happy to provide this service and feel that it can offer extra comfort for the pets! I make sure to ask about the neighborhood and be aware of other animals or triggers that could put your pet's safety at risk.

Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet

I am open to taking any size or breed, given that their behavior won't be a concern. Some things I'd like to know include: -Are your pets taking any medications? Or any other medical concerns I should know of? -How does your dog get along with other animals and people? -How do you deal with bad behavior or reward good behavior? (If you have a special training regime, I want to keep them on track!) -Do they have any behavioral issues, such as resource guarding?

A typical day

If you have a high-energy, active dog, they can expect to go on walks with me throughout local parks! My dog is an old boy who can't walk too much, so I would love the chance to exercise your dog and even work on some basic skills while we are at it. If your dog is more like mine and likes to lay around all day, they can expect lots of snuggles and belly rubs!

Caring for your pets as my own!

Pet care experience

If you choose me to care for your pets, you are ensuring that they will be getting the love that they deserve while you are away. I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life but have about 10 years of dog sitting and animal shelter experience. During my breaks from school, I spent my time back at home working at the Iowa County Humane Society where I had been employed for about 4 years. This job has given me extensive experience with medication/vaccination administration, animal socialization and exercise, and skills/commands training. I am also CPR/First aid certified for dogs. I want you to feel safe each time you leave your furry best friend with me, so I will do everything in my power to live up to your expectations. If there are specific things you would like me to do with your dog while they are in my care, I would be more than happy to do so.

Alyssa always goes the extra mile and makes it so that our fur babies think they are also on a vacation when we are gone, getting that extra special attention. Alyssa has become a part of our family and we appreciate her so much!

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.
