About this sitter

Hello, my name is Alyssa. I live a semi-nomadic lifestyle, working mostly with children as a Ski Instructor in the winters and in various Childcare settings all over the world. I’ve recently decided to add housesitting and petsitting to my resume. As a frequent traveler, I feel that this type of work is not only practical from a financial standpoint, but also a great way to immerse myself more deeply in the community I am visiting. I was born and raised in Española, New Mexico, but have spent my adult years in amazing places like NYC, Thailand, Utah, and Northern California. I’ve had lots of jobs, mostly in the service industry or teaching, so I’m great at problem solving and can be trusted to handle situations in a calm and responsible manner. I am curious and adventurous with a deep love of reading, hiking, yoga, skiing, and cooking. I’m a bit of a homebody and bring a loving and careful vibe to any place I lay my head.

Why they want to house sit

Housesitting and petsitting is the preferred way for me to have some extra work in the communities that I travel to.

Their experience

I have experience with dog care, cat care, plants, cleaning, and basic house maintenance. I'm happy to provide references with some of my regular house/pet sitting clients. My dog and cat knowledge comes from 4 years of working at an animal shelter and owning pets. My other home care experience comes from decades of adulting and managing my own household and gardens. I don’t mind physical labor and am fit to do work like taking out the trash/recycling , yard maintenance, snow removal, or other basic household chores.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring attention to detail and lots of life experience to any job I do. Reliable, Resourceful, Respectful

Highly recommend!

It's such a pleasure to travel without any worries about things at home, and then to come home to a happy cat and a clean house. I'd love to have Alyssa back again - and if you choose her as your sitter, you'll be glad you did.

Wonderful house sitter!

Alyssa is super kind, easy to communicate with, and an obviously dedicated animal lover. My once-feral cat and Chihuahua took to her right away, always a good sign She followed all my instructions and also left the house EXTREMELY clean. My cat was not needy when I got home after 6 days which means she gave him a lot of good attention. I can't say enough positive things about Alyssa, so stop your search and just reach out to her!

Wonderful House and Pet Sitter!

Alyssa came to our home on time, with short notice and did a wonderful job of caring for our home and 3 little dogs. I feel she is trustworthy and conscientious about carrying out all that we had asked of her. When we returned our home was very clean, sheets and towels washed, bed made up and the kitchen area was spotless. Although we had very limited cell service and no wifi while we were away, she still sent texts and photos for when we were able to finally connect. Our dogs were happy and healthy. I highly recommend her and would welcome her back with no reservation!
