Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I live in a secure elevator building with a doorman, which adds an extra layer of safety and convenience. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I’m experienced with senior dogs and comfortable administering medication if needed. I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Information Alyssa S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can provide the most comfortable, safe, and personalized care possible.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, happy, and mentally engaged while they’re in my care, with relaxed neighborhood walks that let them explore and sniff at their own pace, and if it’s a good fit and owner approved, trips to Carl Schurz Park for fresh air and a change of scenery. I also spend time playing with their favorite toys, and of course plenty of belly rubs and affection, while making sure to balance all that activity with calm time so they feel comfortable, safe, and truly cared for.

UES Dog Care in a Loving Home 🐾

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for my own senior dog for 13+ years, which has given me extensive experience with patience, consistency, and understanding different needs as dogs age. I’ve also watched pets for friends and family over the years and truly treat every dog like my own. Growing up surrounded by animals helped me develop a natural comfort and love for caring for pets.

I’ve used Alyssa’s services twice now for overnight pup care, and she’s fabulous. We’ll definitely book with her again.

Alyssa was great with my dogs and very pleasant and efficient when coordinating drop off and pickup. She was thoughtful as well about communicating how the dogs were doing when in her care.

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.
