Alyssa has taken care of my animals (small/large dogs and cats) for years. Even when she was only 2 years old, I recognized her love for animals. She would tote around Papa B's farm cat which was about the same size as her. We always had to have her dog in the wagon with her if we went on a country walk :) If cows/horses/dogs/cats needed to be feed at Papa B's farm, she was right along side helping. As her aunt, I've had the opportunity to watch her grow up and share time with her as she raised her own cats/pups, and her cow Sadie in FFA. She is a responsible, very caring young adult with a very bright future ahead. Alyssa follows instructions well and is good about spending time with the animals. She would be great with large farm animals, as well as, city canines/felines. I recommend her with 5 stars and will continue to use Alyssa for my pet sitting needs.
