About Alyssa
My cat journey started two years ago when my partner and I were looking for an animal that would be suitable for our lifestyle as a medical student and a lawyer. I have never looked back then. After we adopted our oldest (Thorin), we started our kitten-fostering journey with The Lost Dogs' home. We were lucky enough that our friends have adopted all our fosters, and we still get to be with them. I want to be a pet sitter because I can understand how anxious we feline parents can be when we are away from our babies. Thus, I also believe in caring for other feline babies like I would want others to treat mine (only the best). We are also really good at teaching our cats/fosters tricks (i.e., fetching, sitting, staying and turn and sit).
From my own understanding, being at their own home is the best, safest and most comfortable environment for them when their parents are away.
I am studying remotely, so I am very flexible in terms of hours.
My house visit service includes:
> feeding /changing of water (preparation of any special diet if required)
> cleaning of cat litter
> vacuum/clean-up up any soil areas
> administer medication if required
> watering the plants if needed
> give treats to your feline babies if permissible
> pictures/videos so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your holidays
You can trust my service as I will always drop you a text and send you pictures when I am with your feline babies.
I cover West End (2km within it is acceptable). Higher rates apply for areas further than 2 km. I am available to do a meet and greet a week before your booking if you feel better giving me instructions in person and meet your babies beforehand :)
Extra charges will apply for more than 2 feline babies, lockouts & public holidays.
I have tons of experience cat sitter as I was based in Melbourne. My price reflect the service. Feel free to hit me up if you have any more questions.

Reviews
We were in need of an experienced and attentive pet sitter to care for our two senior cats while we were away for a month. Alyssa proved to be the perfect fit for this role.
One of our cats is 19 years old with arthritis, kidney issues, and hearing loss, requiring specialised care including medications and gentle handling. Our 13 year old is in good health but craves daily affection in the form of brushes and play time.
Alyssa visited our home twice per day to tend to all of their needs. She administered medications properly and on schedule for our older cat. Both kitties received plenty of cuddles and playtime. Alyssa sent photo and video updates after each visit so we could check in on them. Her communication was exceptionally prompt if we had any questions.
Upon returning home, we were thrilled to be welcomed by two happy, healthy cats whose routines were undisrupted. Alyssa kept their area clean and even did some tidying up around the house. It brought us peace of mind while traveling to know our beloved furry family members were in such caring, capable hands. We would not hesitate to call on Alyssa for pet sitting in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in need of this service.
Alyssa is a true cat whisperer! She had my usual grumpy Coconut become a real sweetheart within one of her feeds. 100% recommend Alyssa and can't wait to have her pet sit for us again :)
