Safety, trust & environment

Any opportunity I get to play or interact with a dog or cat boosts my mood by 100%. Pets are naturally drawn to me so if you have a shy pet, they usually warm up to me quickly. I am very clean and always clean up after myself and your pet if they make any messes. I have successfully cleaned dog/cat pee out of many carpets so no worries about accidents.

Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs, allergies, or behaviors that I should know about. I like to come prepared with as much information as possible.

A typical day

I love to physically and mentally challenge cats and dogs. I would love to take your dog on a walk in a nearby neighborhood or to the dog park for some other dog interaction. With cats, I love to use laser pointers and flying toys. It tires them out quickly and doesn't leave them with the zoomies late at night.

Alyssa did a great job taking care of our puppy and elderly dog for a long weekend. Very communicative and is great with the dogs.

Alyssa was amazing! We went away for a weekend and she stayed with our (needy, dramatic, loving, sweet) old dog. Our dog loves her and seemed to take to her immediately. We’ll definitely work with Alyssa again
