Loving, Reliable Care for All Pets

Hi there! I’m Alyssa — a lifelong animal lover, coffee enthusiast, and proud pet parent. My heart has always belonged to animals. I grew up snuggling with our family Rottweilers (Greta, Mugs, and Ossa) and now share my home with two lovable giant breed Swiss Mountain Dogs, Kimber & Fiona. I have years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. From my furry best friends Kimber & Fiona, to cats, parrots, chickens, horses, sheep, and even fish. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a feathered friend, I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and needs. As a fellow pet owner, I know how important it is to feel confident that your animals are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to be responsible, reliable, and fully dedicated to keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching in your absence. I love meeting new clients (human and furry!) before a first booking, so I can learn all about your pet’s routines, quirks, and favorite things. If you know you’ll need a sitter, reach out in advance so we can connect and make sure your pets feel comfortable from day one. Questions? Special requests? Send me a message anytime, I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged (or two-winged!) family members. 🐾

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When I care for animals in their own home, I aim to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible, from feeding and walks to playtime and snuggles. Familiar surroundings help pets feel secure, and I do everything I can to make sure they feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and care, just like I would my own. I follow all instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pet and home are in trustworthy hands. With experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including large dogs, cats, birds, and even livestock, I’m confident and calm in all kinds of situations. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, or just needs extra TLC, I’m here to help.

Excellent care as always. The kitties were content and well-taken-care-of. I was kept abreast of regular daily activities and any small irregularities. Would definitely recommend and definitely rebook.

Alyssa is the best and has helped us out a bunch lately, especially last minute. She is kind, reliable and the dogs are happy to see her when she gets here.

Alyssa was fantastic to work with & I knew that my fur baby would be in good hands with her! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was ok & happy (as he could be) while we were away. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. It’s helpful to know: - Feeding schedule & dietary restrictions - Medical needs or medications - Behavioral quirks (e.g., nervous around strangers, leash reactivity, separation anxiety) - Favorite toys, routines, and calming techniques - How they interact with other animals or people - Any house rules (furniture, crate training, etc.) The more I know, the better I can care for your pet just like you would. If there's anything else you'd like me to follow, special routines, training cues, or even preferred walking routes, I'm all ears!
