What Are Pet Parents Saying?

“Alyssa is the best house/dog sitter one could wish for. Our 10 year old dachshund/Pomeranian mix was treated like royalty - walked frequently, taken for car rides and cuddeled constantly. Alyssa kept us updated with pictures and videos on WhatsApp throughout our entire 3 1/2 week European tour. The house was as clean as we left it and all the necessary house tasks were well taken care of. No question that we would ask her back for our next trip!”

“Alyssa was simply delightful; she couldn’t have been sweeter to my three pups, I was very lucky indeed to have her in my home! A few weeks prior to the sit, Alyssa offered to drive over to my house, meet the puppies and get to know the neighbourhood and my home. A one hour walk with the puppies ensued, and I am not sure who was happier – my puppies or Alyssa…it was clear that she adored the puppies and everything my neighbourhood and nature preserves had to offer. Alyssa kept in great contact prior to the sit and during the sit, sending pictures of my girls, and asking appropriate questions to keep all running smoothly until my return. I returned to a clean and tidy home and very happy puppies - I would definitely invite Alyssa to sit again , she is a sweetheart.”

"Alyssa is a top notch pet sitter. We could not found a more perfect match.  She really understood our dog's personality. We had told Alyssa he needed attention and love and she certainly gave it to him. She sent us tons of pictures and videos that proved how much time she was spending with Jahc. The most amazing thing though is that our neighbor broke her hip while Alyssa was there and without skipping a beat, Alyssa took our neighbor's dog to care for him so that he would not have to go to boarding or with a stranger. She is a kind hearted, responsible, sweet and reliable pet sitter. She was respectful of our house and belongings. I am always going to ask Alyssa to come stay with Jahc when we are on vacation from now on!"

“Alyssa is one of the most reliable and caring pet sitters we have ever had. We have two senior dogs that wouldn’t do well in a kennel. Alyssa gives them 100% dedicated attention as she only takes on one client at a time. She sends daily photos of our babies. It is also nice to have someone at the house to keep an eye on things. She is very loving and sweet to our dogs.”

“We, and maybe more importantly our older dogs :) love it when Alyssa comes to watch our pets when we're away. She's very attentive to them and keeps us posted with photos or with any questions.”

“Alyssa has watched my 11-week-old puppy twice now, and I couldn't ask for a better experience. At that age he needs constant attention, and she provided true round-the-clock care while keeping him on a consistent routine. She handled everything from frequent potty breaks to feeding and early training, and I always felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Her communication is excellent -- I received regular updates, photos, and videos throughout. I came home to a happy, well-adjusted pup every time. She's reliable, attentive, and clearly great with animals. I would absolutely book her again.”

“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with our pets. We have a dog with separation anxiety who also needs medication, and a cat with heart issues that requires daily meds, so we were really nervous about leaving them. She handled everything with so much care, patience, and attention to detail. She kept their routines consistent, made sure all medications were given properly, and truly took the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. Her communication was also incredible -- we got regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a well cared for home. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, in-home pet care.”

“Alyssa is an amazing sitter! Alyssa is kind, sensitive, trustworthy and responsible. Alyssa was great with her communication, answering my questions prior to the sit and willing to FaceTime and arrive before our trip. She helped me feel comfortable in leaving my two dogs, Dolly and Meeko and our two cats, Chunky and Valentina. Alyssa texted photos daily and stuck to my daily routine. She took wonderful care of everyone, our house and our plants. When we returned, everything was extremely neat and tidy. I definitely will have Alyssa back for a future sit. You would be lucky to have her for your pets.”

“Alyssa is an exceptional house sitter! For 3 months, she took excellent care of our home, plants, and most importantly, our cats. We never worried about our fur babies - she would send us pictures/videos of our cats often, and you could tell how happy they were to have a new friend! Alyssa really does treat your home and your pets with as much love and care as she would if they were her own. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was running smoothly while we were gone, such as getting our mail and notifying us if it looked like anything important arrived, as well as moving our cars every week to make sure we didn't get parking tickets. I could relax on my trip knowing that my home was in the best of hands. Not only is she extremely trustworthy and reliable, Alyssa is also very friendly and an overall wonderful person to interact with. She is a great communicator and deals with any issues quickly and maturely. On top of everything else, she is also really clean and tidy - returning to a clean home was a perfect end to our trip. There is no one better to watch your home and your beloved plants and pets than Alyssa. Pick her as your pet sitter, and you will be happy you did!”
