Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet assistant experience!
Hi! I’m Alyssa, I’ve been a Rover sitter for the past 4 years and have completed over 145 bookings. My favorite part of being a pet sitter is getting to know every pet individually and sending lots of photos and updates for the pet parent’s peace of mind. Additionally, I have over 1,000 hours of experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician with dogs and cats from 2018-2019 when I was an undergrad student. During that experience I performed simple procedures like nail clipping and blood draws, administered medication, cared for ill pets before and after veterinary treatment, among other skills as well. I’ve owned animals all my life and have been caring of other people’s animals since I was 10. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, and can peacefully handle those with aggressive or fearful tendencies towards strangers. I have two cats of my own who are very sassy with a lot of personality, so I like to think of myself as a cat whisperer of sorts. My main services are drop in visits and walks, I love caring for cats and dogs, and I have experience caring for rabbits, hamsters, and fish as well.

Alyssa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I have two cats at my home currently so I’m not taking pets to my own home, but I am very experienced in the process of getting a pet ready for a walking, crating the pet, and attending to any needs the pet may have. I always make sure to be extra cautious when entering/leaving a home to make sure pets don’t escape. With my veterinary experience I’ve also been trained in administering medications and caring for ill cats and dogs.
Ratings and reviews
Alyssa was great with our kitties. They were very happy and so I know she took great care of them!
Super lovely and thorough! Trips are a lot easier knowing my girls are in great hands with Alyssa :)
Alyssa was fantastic :)
Alyssa is always reliable and sends detailed updates. She has watched my cats several times and has even managed to befriend my shy cat!
Alyssa was able to help with short notice when I was in an unexpected bind. She was prompt and communicative and my pup loved seeing her. I definitely recommend and will use again!
Alyssa is such an excellent pet sitter. I always feel completely at ease when I’m able to book her, especially with my dog with a unique disability. She’s so caring, thorough, and attentive!
