Availability
I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. Until recently I was caring for an elderly dog with severe epilepsy that required 3x daily medication, and an elderly cat with cancer who required feeding every couple of hours, so I’m accustomed to my days centering around animals’ schedules. Living at the beach means I take walk breaks throughout the day, and I appreciate that animals give me a ready excuse to step away from my computer.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a deck in the trees that’s great for sunbathing and creature watching, and am 50 yards from the beach and it’s path, as well as a large local park and trail network along the wetlands. I work in the main space of my home, so it’s easy for me to have eyes on your pet at all times. Wherever they are in terms of their needs, I’m happy to meet them there!

Information Alyssa W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or accommodations or preferences/fears I can account for! I want them to feel as safe and happy as possible while they’re with me.
A typical day
We’ll take walks for exercise and mental stimulation near the beach, along the marsh and marina, and through a beautiful park, and runs if they’re up for it! Then they can lounge in the sun or shade on my second story deck while they look out over a walkway, or in a cozy spot inside. For feline friends, they’ll have a number of perches to choose from where they can watch the birds and squirrels, and a number of cozy beds to curl up in.

Pet care experience
Since I was very small, I’ve cared for a menagerie of animals, including cats and dogs, reptiles and small critters, even horses and goats. I’ve had a number of special needs animals of my own, and am very well-acquainted with administering medication and accommodating special needs. After recently losing my elderly dog for whom I had been managing severe epilepsy, and my elderly cat to cancer, I’m used to providing near constant care and love, and now find myself with time on my hands and love to spare. I deeply understand the stress of leaving your pet in a stranger’s care, and I’ll make sure you can see that your pet is safe with me. I live at the beach on a great trail network with walkable parks to give your dogs a taste of vacation, whatever their preference, and have a deck in the trees with large floor to ceiling windows full of birds and squirrels to keep your cats entertained.

Reviews



Alyssa was great with my cats and provided me with periodic updates throughout my cats’ stay with her, which I really appreciated and put me at ease. Her space is very open and bright, with plenty of space for the cats to explore, play, and enjoy nature-watching from the inside. I definitely recommend her for her boarding services and plan to be in touch for future stays and catsitting needs.

Great experience.

I’m so glad I found Alyssa. She’s communicative, flexible and clearly an animal lover. She took great care of my pup. Based on the pics I could tell they had so much fun and when I came to pick up my little girl she was happy and comfortable. I will definitely use her again.


Alyssa was amazing!! She was super supportive of our cat who was having some unexpected health issues, giving us consistent updates and photos for peace of mind while we were gone. She really went above and beyond and made the whole process so easy 🙏
