About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun.

“Craig is an amazing pet sitter - you can’t go wrong having him care for your fur baby. He spent all of his time with our senior dog Linus, who takes several medications several times a day.

I was able to relax and have zero worries, knowing Linus was in great hands. We would use Craig again in a heartbeat.”

“Barbara did a great job with our cat Hal. They have their own routine and Hal loves her visits. There were some difficult travel days due to fog, drizzle, snow etc and Barbara made it to our country house. She did plan ahead and gave Hal extra food in case it got really bad. We appreciate having someone we can depend on!”
About: with years of experience, I know that every cat has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your feline friend loves playtime and snuggles or prefers their space, I provide patient, attentive care to keep them happy and comfortable. I offer gentle grooming, including nail trims if your cat is comfortable or if you provide a protective barrier. I’m also experienced in administering medication, ensuring your cat gets the care they need while staying as stress-free as possible. Playtime, treats (if allowed), and plenty of affection are always part of my visits. Cleanliness is a priority—I scoop litter boxes daily or more often, depending on the number of cats and boxes, to keep their space fresh. I also monitor behavior closely, making gentle corrections if needed, such as redirecting aggressive behavior toward other pets or preventing excessive scratching on furniture. I respect feline body language and create a calm, positive experience tailored to your cat’s comfort level. Whether they want to play, cuddle, or just have a watchful eye while they do their thing, I’m here to give them the purr-fect care while you're away!

“Alyssa is a VERY CARING petsitter that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! When she came in for the meet and greet, all 5 of my pets ran right up to her wanting pets and loving which she gladly gave. When it came to the day when she did check ins, not only did she ck in with me with pics, but other than feeding, walked my dog Zion which was not 1 of the things she was asked to do, but also sat outside with him so he could get out of the crate and go outside and enjoy the nice weather.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with a lifelong passion for pets. I’ve grown up around cats, dogs, and many other animals my entire life, so being around animals comes very naturally to me. I’m extremely comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with basic dog training, including potty training, leash manners, and teaching simple commands like sit, lay down, and stay. Whether your pet loves playtime and walks or prefers cuddles and quiet company, I’m happy to adjust to their needs and routine.

I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine.

I make sure pets stay on their regular routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and independent. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
