Safety, trust & environment

Routine is important for all creatures! Regular feedings, potty breaks, and exercise is crucial for everyone! If they get dirty bath time will be needed. If an animal is needing oral or vaccine medication, I am able to provide that care as well. Scooping poop is always a must! Whether it is the litter box, pee pad, yard, or chicken coop a clean home is a happy home!

Information Alyssa U. would like to know about your pet

More details the better! What does your pet like or dislike? Any particular dietaries? Any sensitivities like loud sounds or fast moving objects? Do they have a favorite toy or treat? Do they need any kind of special assistance? I enjoy getting along the best way I can so please let me know if you have any suggestions when it comes to helping their day go smoothly!

A typical day

Spending time outside is one of my favorite things to do! Playing fetch, sunbathing, and long walks are guaranteed while we are spending time together. Belly rubs and brushing can also be a great way to relax as well. Please let me know what types of stimulation your pet likes the most!

Farm living is the life for me!

Pet care experience

Howdy, yall! My name is Alyssa and I just moved back to East Tennessee from Phoenix, AZ! I made so many furry friends there! I also started a poultry program for a 5 star resort! For six years I worked as a Livestock Technician on a 4,200 acre farm. On the farm we milked 125 sheep and made cheese! The donkeys would protect the sheep from predators too. There were 200 chickens and 95 turkeys laying eggs. Also, we bred a breed of dog called Lagotto Romagnolo and would train them for truffle hunting! When I was not on the farm, a lot of my friends, coworkers, and neighbors would have me stay at their home or farm to take care of their small animals and or large livestock animals! I have worked with small household animals like dogs, cats, fish, and birds. I have also cared for large animals such as donkeys and many different horse breeds. I really miss the farm, but I am excited to take on a new adventure! I think by joining the Rover team this will be a great way to get to know the city, neighbors, and their loving animals!

Alyssa was the absolute best!!!!! She came over twice before the house/dog sitting, just to make sure that the dogs knew her and that she was well versed with regards to their care. She made it a point to ask about vet information, medicine schedules and their routines. She sent pictures several times a day and communicated with us constantly, which made us feel much better about leaving the dogs for the first time. We would highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future!!!!

Alyssa took great care of our cats and house. She communicated regularly and provided a lot of photos throughout the time we were away, which was very comforting. I highly recommend her house sitting services and we will be hiring her again.
