Testimonials!

  • Alyssa’s knowledge of pet care and behavior is an added plus. She took excellent care of our elderly dog and cat and was very conscientious about their medical needs. When our next dog had major orthopedic surgery, Alyssa was the only one we trusted to be with her when we had to be away. You can count on Alyssa to take care of your pet as if it was her own.

  • I would highly recommend Alyssa as a pet sitter! She is very professional, affordable and transparent. Alyssa has taken great care of my cat when I am out of town, and Nugget looks forward to her visits! I don’t have to worry at all about Nugget while I am gone, I get daily pictures and updates which gives me peace of mind. Of all the sitters I have had, Nugget and I agree Alyssa is the best.

    -Emmy & Nugget

  • Conscientious, reliable, dependable, trustworthy; Alyssa is simply the best! Alyssa loves animals as much as they love her. Our dog does a happy dance every time she sees her. She is responsive to owners' needs and remembers small details. Alyssa is also a good communicator; It’s always reassuring to get texts and photos while our pet is under her care.

    - Paula & Maya

  • Alyssa is simply a “natural” with dogs, cats, rabbits, & those cute small rodents. She has cared for 3 of my dogs and numerous friends’ dogs and cats over the last 15+ years with unfailing gentleness, almost intuitive understanding of each pet and great love. She has given me a lot of good advice about dog care and training over the years. Sometimes I think that Neshama, my bouncy white mixed breed dog, loves Alyssa more than me. Alyssa is utterly reliable, always on time and ready to give Neshama her full attention. She communicates often and in a timely manner. I highly recommend Alyssa!
