My Promise to Millie

Hi, I’m Alyssa. The owner behind Sit & Wander Co.

Sit and Wander Co. is dedicated to my beloved cat, Millie, whose life was tragically lost while she was in someone else’s care.

Her loss shaped the kind of pet sitter I promised to be.

I care for every animal entrusted to me with attentiveness, patience, and genuine responsibility. Every gate, door, lock, safety instruction, and detail of your pet’s routine matters to me. I understand that if you take the time to tell me something, there is a reason for it, and I will take it seriously.

I cannot bring Millie back, but I can honor her by providing the thoughtful, careful, and dependable care every pet and every pet parent deserves.

Thank you for visiting my site and learning more about Sit and Wander Co., Millie, myself, all of the amazing pets who have helped heal my heart.
