Pet care experience

Whisker Watcher - Pet Lover

Five years ago, I welcomed a reactive dog into my life, rescuing her from the euthanasia list. Through dedication and guidance from a professional trainer, I learned how to provide the care and support she needed to thrive. Today, she's a happy and healthy companion, no longer showing aggression towards humans. Growing up surrounded by my mother's menagerie of 7 dogs and 5 cats also taught me the importance of understanding and adapting to unique personalities. With experience dog sitting for family members/friends and a passion for meeting new furry friends, I'm confident in my ability to provide loving care and attention to your pets. Let me help give you peace of mind while you're away!

Safety, trust & environment

As the owner of my own business, I have the flexibility to create my own schedule, allowing me to accommodate various commitments. However, my afternoons are often dedicated to coaching at the local high school, typically from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM. I'll need to schedule around these fixed hours, but I'm available to work with you outside of this time frame.

Talyssa is the most compassionate and loving person. I trust her with my whole life, and she respects the way I want my animals cared for.. no questions asked. She quickly gained the trust of my not so trusting cat and they have been buddies ever since. She will 100% make sure your animals are cared for correctly, protected and loved as if they were her own.

As your trusted pet sitter, it's essential for me to know the following important details to provide the best care for your furry friend: · Medical needs: Any health conditions, allergies, or medications your pet requires · Dietary needs: Food preferences, allergies, and feeding schedules · Behavioral quirks: Anxiety triggers, fears, or habits I should be aware of · Favorite activities: Playtime preferences, toys, and exercise needs · Communication styles: How your pet likes to interact, such as vocalizations or body language · Routine and schedule: Regular daily routines, including sleep patterns and potty breaks · Emergency contacts: Your veterinarian and any additional emergency contacts · Home specifics: Important details about your home, such as alarm codes or hidden hazards
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.
