Pet care experience

I've been called the cat lady🐈💖

Growing up we've had multiple cats since I was about 8 years old. One of my chores was to care for them, so once I got a little older I would cat sit for other family and friends. I've always had a special place in my heart for kitties of all kinds. In my teens I volunteered at Kitten Angels, which is a cat rescue. I loved being there with the kitties, but it was hard to see them all there waiting and not being able to take them home.

Safety, trust & environment

At this time I am only available for drop in visits. I can care for cats over an extended time. For example, if you went on a weekend trip, I could do one or two drop in visits per day while you're away. I make sure to clean litter boxes at least once a day or at each drop in visits. I make sure your pet has fresh water daily, if they have an extended time waterer I will just monitor for any contaminants and change then.

Alyssa was kind and intuitive with our anxious pup. They got along great, and I won’t hesitate to use her in the future.

I appreciate how well Alyssa took care of my cat trying to get him to play despite him being an introvert. She was very respectful of my space and even helped bring in packages. My baby was relaxed and calm when I returned home.

I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa! She is the only person I trust to watch my farm. She stays at my house and takes care of 6 dogs, 9 sheep, 2 goats, 30 ducks and almost 300 chickens and she does so seemlessly. Always going the extra mile to clean water bowls, check animals multiple times a day, give extreme amounts of attention to VERY needy dogs, and cares for the whole farm as if it were her own. She has handled every situation well and always seems to know what to do. She has watched the farm for over 2 weeks at a time with no issues. She is trust worthy and reliable. If you are nervous about letting someone watch your fur babies Alyssa will make you feel confident and secure. We love her and are eternally grateful as we would never be able to vacation otherwise!

Alyssa took care of our 2 female Golden Retrievers (“the girls”) when they were puppies, as well as when they were crazy 1 year olds with poor leash manners, sometimes even on short notice. She is dependable and always arrived when she said she would. She doesn’t hesitate to text or call if she has questions or concerns. We were comfortable with her having access to a key to our house so she could take the girls out for walks. She made sure they had enough time outside for exercise and to do their “business”, and rewarded them during the potty training phase. She fed them if we needed her to, made sure they had water and toys, and spent time with them playing and giving lots of loving attention. The girls are always excited to see Alyssa! She’s awesome!

Alyssa has cared for my animals as part of house sitting on many occasions. Not only has she cared for my cats and dogs, but also my chickens and whatever other animals we have had at any time (snake, fish, etc). When she was younger she even once helped me de-flea very young kittens! She doesn’t just do what HAS to be done such as feeding and changing litter, but she plays with and loves on my animals as well. I trust no one more in my home and caring for my animals!

Schedule

I am a Homemaker at present. So my time is pretty flexible for drop in visits throughout the day to check on your cat(s).

Cats
Alyssa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It's important for me to know about how your pet interacts with people they don't know. Also, any special care requirements such as special food, meds, etc. I am comfortable with giving meds if it is mixed in their food in the bowl. Though I do not administer and injection meds or oral meds.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
