Safety, trust & environment

We are reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Any instructions left for us will be followed to the letter to ensure your pet gets exactly what they need. We will make note of any specifics to make sure there’s nothing we’re leaving out that’s important to your pets daily care and routine!

Information Matt & Alyssa D. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your cat has any specific needs or behaviors that we can account for such as being shy or generally unsure about new people. We will not accept bookings with pets who have known aggressive behavior. This is for our own safety and is against Rover’s TOS. We require meet and greets before the sit starts partially for this reason as well and we will refuse the booking if aggressive behavior is seen during a meet and greet. For us, specifics are key with all aspects of pet care as we want to ensure your pet is cared for as you yourself would care for them!

A typical day

A typical visit will depend on your pet! We’re committed to making sure your cat gets what it needs to make sure they are happy and comfortable with their routine while you’re away.

Alyssa was so kind to respond to a very last minute booking and to even make time to come meet our elderly cat first! We are grateful!

Matt and Alyssa took great care of our two cats, including giving medication to our elderly cat. Will certainly use them again in the future for pet care!

Do not have enough superlatives to say regarding the care and level of attention these two offered. They came into a tricky situation with a cat with complex medical needs and handled everything flawlessly. I would trust them again in a heartbeat to care for Mika again. If your cat is shy or needs any special level of care I would 1000% recommend leaving him/her in Matt and Alyssa’s hands. They completely put my mind at ease by delivering extremely high quality of care, communication and flexibility.

We had a great first experience with Rover thanks to Matt and Alyssa! They were very responsive and professional. We loved receiving regular updates and lots of cute photos. We could tell that our kitty was happy and well cared for! Will totally book again in the future.
