Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I treat them as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your routines, rules, and any special instructions carefully, whether it’s during walks, drop-in visits, or house-sitting. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and body language to make sure they’re happy and stress-free, and I maintain a clean, secure environment at all times. You can also expect regular updates with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, trustworthy hands.

Information Alyssa U. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, it’s important for me to know any special needs, behaviors, or triggers your animal may have—like anxiety around thunderstorms, doorbells, or other situations. Please also let me know if your animal requires medication, has dietary restrictions, or needs extra attention in certain situations. Understanding these details ahead of time allows me to tailor care specifically for your animal, keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Your guidance helps me provide the attentive, reliable, and loving care every animal deserves.

A typical day

I love making every day fun and stimulating for the pets I care for! Depending on their energy and personality, we’ll enjoy walks, explore new scents in the neighborhood, play games, and spend quality time with toys, cuddles, and training exercises. I tailor each activity to your pet’s needs and your preferences, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. Whether it’s a playful pup, a curious cat, or a shy animal needing gentle attention, I ensure every visit is safe, enjoyable, and full of love!

Pet care experience

I have 4+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes—including small and large dogs—as well as other pets like cats, small animals, and farm animals. I’m especially great with anxious pets and understand animal body language, which helps me keep every pet safe, happy, and stress-free. I always follow your routines and rules carefully, making sure your pet feels secure and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication, I provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. I also send regular photos and videos so you can see your pet enjoying their day while you’re away. With flexible availability and a calm, patient approach, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities!
