Safety, trust & environment

🐾Safety, trust & environment🐾 -I lock the the doors the second I get inside the client's home. When I leave the home, I double check that it is locked as well. -If we are going in the backyard, I make sure it is clear and that fence is still locked as well. -I don't do anything in your home that is disrespectful. I am providing a service and companionship, it is my job!

Information Alyssa V. would like to know about your pet

-Would love to know if they have any triggers, quirks, anything that should be my top priority in taking care of them. -Their specific routines and needs

A typical day

I greet your fur buddy and check their well-being. How they are, their body language, and if they need anything immediate. I would pet, cuddle - give any attention I can to make them feel safe & good. I check their food & water, take them out if need be. I'd probably have a full on conversation with them & take lots of photos and videos. We would play, cuddle, take walks, and most likely take naps haha.

Less anxiety 4 you & your fur buddy

Pet care experience

🐾Pet care experience🐾 - I have been taking care of animals since 2014. -I have done pet services consistently for almost 5 years now. -I have worked with dogs, cats, bunnies & mice. -I am very patient - I understand that this is your pet how much anxiety it has leaving them, and with them being without you. -I volunteered at a non-profit animal shelter for 2 years. -I have worked with a private dog walking company for 3 years. -I have worked in a dog daycare for half a year. Only left because I didn't feel like each dog got the attention they deserve. 🐾Sadly, I have no pets of my own. So I use clients animals to fill the hole in my heart! I treat them as if they were my own (the care and affection, I follow how the client wants me to take care of them).

Alyssa was absolutely wonderful with our three pets (two dogs and one cat)! She was kind, reliable, and took great care of all of them. Our cat has medical needs, and before giving his medication for the first time, she made sure to double-check everything with us, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring hands. We would absolutely use Alyssa again and highly recommend her!

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.
