Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks about them. I love dogs that aren't all the same but appreciate the heads up! Please also share if you dog is good with other animals, I love letting your dog make friends on our walks but want to know how they will react!

A typical day

I love long walks and getting dogs to be active! It's both beneficial for the dog and myself. I believe there's nothing that a walk and a pet can't fix!

Energetic puppy and cat lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been around and taking care of dogs since I was 7. I grew up training all of our puppies and continuing to love them now at their old age. I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of large/medium to small.

Alyssa took care of our golden retriever pup on very short notice! She did an amazing job and sent along photos! We can tell Sonny had a great time!

Alyssa has cared for my 3 geriatric dogs and cat on numerous occasions. She is a very loving pet caregiver. She is super responsible and always on time.

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.
