Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs for the past 22 years since my family got my first dog at the age of 5. My now long distance boyfriend and I have a 3.5 year old Pit Lab mix (they live in Chicago!) who we adopted at 2 months old and I trained myself. I’m well acquainted with caring for all types of pets ranging from newborns to seniors and am comfortable with administering medication/shots as needed. Looking forward to meeting you and your baby! Please reach out to me with questions, I'm happy to talk more on my experience and skills if you have any questions!
Reviews
Alyssa is reliable, kind, and very persistent and patient about making friends with my shy cat. By the end of her visit my cat really trusted her and was happy to play and get brushed/pet. So happy to have found such a wonderful person to look after my pet while I’m away.
Alyssa has been our go-to sitter since Virgil was 10 weeks old—so for just short of a year! This last sit was our first time away from V for more than a night and we were a little nervous. We should’ve known there was no need to worry—Alyssa was, as always, perfect. She sent updates every day, helped medicate an eye issue that flared up when we were gone (handling V’s grumpiness around meds perfectly and teaching me a trick too!), and even took him to a class that we thought he’d have to miss bc of travel. Virgil loves her so much and so do we—she’s incredible with animals and also such a sweet, kind person. I recommend Alyssa to everyone who asks for a lead on a sitter. I still can’t believe how lucky we got finding her on Rover during our second week with V!
Alyssa was great with our cat! Super communicative and flexible :) Would recommend!
Alyssa is AMAZING! We had our dog stay with her for a few nights and she was so patient with him when he wasn’t adjusting well. She sent us updates all the time and our dog looked so happy in every picture. We will definitely be using her again!

Information Alyssa V. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know any favorites/dislikes/specific needs or quirks of your pet before caring for him/her. Knowing any background info will help me give them the best care and make them happy!
A typical day
Always down to explore your neighborhood - if they’re big into fetch or the dog park, I'd love to take them. But, if they just need someone to hang with for a bit, I can do that as well! Happy to do whatever their schedule calls for.
