Pet care experience

veterinary student & pet sitter

I have taken care of household animals of every kind since I was a child: dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, chickens, lizards, and many more! I started off watching pets for my family, friends, and eventually became a dog walker at a local shelter. During college I was a puppy raiser for Canine Companions where I raised service dog Buffy! I have always loved working with animals of all sizes and ages and am currently a veterinary student at Rowan University. I am home for the summer and am happy to take care of your pets!

I can’t say enough good things about Alyssa! She was incredible with my 80lb Shepherd and even bonded with my extremely shy cat. She kept me updated the entire time and took amazingly cute photos of my girls. I knew they were in wonderful hands and I will definitely be trusting Alyssa to care for my babies again!!

Alyssa was great - she communicated throughout her stay at our home and took excellent care of all 5 of my babies! She took wonderful care of not just the pets, but of our home and it felt like we had never left when we returned. We will definitely use her again and again!

Alyssa is the best! She is kind and was receptive to all my crazy dog mom questions. She took such great care of our dog, Scout. We wish she could be our dog walker forever!

Let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions or specific treats they eat so I can be prepared ahead of time! If I am walking your dog please let me know if they are friendly with other dogs or if I should avoid contact. This way we can set your pup up for success :)
