Meet the Owner of Sit and Wander Co. Pet Sitting
Alyssa Jayne, Founder of Sit & Wander Co., an owner-operated, bespoke in-home pet sitting service for travel-loving pet parents.
About Sit & Wander Co.
I created Sit and Wander Co. for pet parents who want to travel knowing their pets are comfortable at home, their routines are being maintained, and their home is in trusted hands.
When you book with Sit and Wander Co., you’re booking directly with me. I personally provide your pet’s care from start to finish, so there are no rotating sitters, unfamiliar faces, or wondering who will be staying in your home.
My approach is simple: present, personalized care with genuine respect for your pets, your home, and your privacy.
I’ve spent years building trusted relationships with families and their animals. With 10 years of hospitality experience, a decade-long professional background in communications, and a lifelong connection to animals, I bring reliability, attention to detail, calm energy, and professionalism to every home I care for.

More Than the Basics
Your pets deserve more than someone simply stopping by to fill a bowl. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, preferences, and quirks so they can feel as safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
Every stay includes:
✔️ Personalized, one-on-one care
✔️ Daily photo and video updates
✔️ Feeding, fresh water, walks, and potty routines
✔️ Affection, cuddles, and companionship on their terms
✔️ Engaging play and enrichment tailored to their personality
✔️ Calm companionship for shy, senior, or anxious pets
✔️ Oral medication administration when needed
✔️ Thoughtful care of your pet’s spaces and belongings
✔️ Respectful care of your home while you’re away
Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime or simply someone nearby while they nap in their favorite spot, their normal routine remains the priority.
Additional Care Available
Depending on your pet and household needs, I can also provide:
• Specialized care, including mobility assistance, and post-surgery routines
• Puppy, kitten, and senior care
• Adventure hikes for dogs
• Plant and garden care
• Mail and package collection
• Trash and recycling assistance
• Additional light home-care needs
My goal is simple: for you to leave feeling confident about who is caring for everything you love and to return home to happy pets and a thoughtfully cared-for home.
One dedicated sitter. Familiar surroundings. Personalized care.
I’d love to learn more about you, your pets, and their routine. We’ll start with a video call, followed by a meet & greet to make sure everyone feels comfortable before your first stay.
I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Thank you for supporting my business <3

In Loving Memory of Millie “Melody”
This business is lovingly dedicated to my sweet girl, Millie.
I lost Millie because the person entrusted with her care was careless and failed to keep her safe.
Losing her changed the way I think about pet care forever. When someone trusts you with their pet, their safety is your responsibility. There are no second chances.
Millie is the reason I take that responsibility so seriously.
For Millie, and for every pet entrusted to me.
With love,
Alyssa
