Vet nurse that loves all animals
Pet care experience
I am 32 yrs old and have worked as a veterinary nurse for 10 yrs. I currently work as the nursing manager for an emergency and specialty hospital in whippany. I love working with animals. I believe my background makes me a great person for the job because I not only know how to care for animals but also know how to recognize any medical issue that may happen with your pet. I also can administer medications which is helpful when going away so your pets do no have to be boarded at a vet. I prefer to do any sitting at your house because I do have cats that love my attention to be all theirs when im home! I am also recover certified (cpr certified for animals) I am willing to stay with them at your house if needed but also willing to make frequent visits throughout the day I treat all animals as if they are my own. They would get great care from someone you can trust because you will know that your pet is being taken care and will be in the best hands if god forbid there was ever an emergency. Working in the er, i see a lot of things happen when owners are away and i know i would have a peace of mind if my babies were being taken care of by someone that knows what to do in an emergency!
Reviews
Alyssia spent the weekend with my pups and she was amazing. She updated me regularly on how they were doing and I didn’t have to worry at all if they were being taken care of. Would highly recommend her to anyone!
Alyssia gave our cat a lot of playtime and love while we were away. She clearly loves animals. We appreciated the good communication and felt our cat was in good hands.
The dogs love Alyssia and we are always so relieved knowing they are in good hands!
Alyssia was so gentle and calm with our dogs and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we had our wedding!

Safety, trust & environment
I keep a close eye on the pets but don’t force attention on them, especially with cats. I give them time to get comfortable with me. Everyone pet is different so the care I provide is different for every sitting job.
Information Alyssia L. would like to know about your pet
Its important to know if a dog has any behavior issues or triggers, if they are on medications, if they have any pre existing medical issues such as seizures or diabetes. Its good to know if they get afraid of thunderstorms or cars, if they don't like other animals, if they are very particular about their food or bones being touched. But most important if they love head scratches or belly rubs more!
A typical day
I am a walker and hiker so I always search out the best places to walk. West orange as very nice trails to take dogs and I have an all trails app where I can look up dog friendly places/walking trails. I love keeping dogs active and in the outdoors because pets spend so much time in the house and the happiness they get when being outside is a great thing to see.

Availability
I work Sunday to Wednesday from mid afternoon to evening. I am able to leave for breaks to let pets out to use the bathroom or feed them. I frequently try to move my schedule around with my coworkers when I have a sitting job.
