I'm Alyssa | Cat Sitting in Pittsburgh, PA

I have grown up around cats and currently have two of my own! I love how they all have their own personality and love getting to know them. I have been cat sitting other people’s cats for over 20 years now. Whenever meeting new cats, I am always calm and let them approach me, letting them g...

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I really love getting to know the cats I have watched and see their personality shine through! As someone who has two cats with very opposite personalities when it comes to meeting new people (one very shy while the other will be twirling around your legs as soon as you are in the house) I understand how different each cat can be, but no matter what they all have such fun personalities in their own way!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When working with a new cat parent, I want to make sure I know about you cat(s). How do they react with strangers, where their food/medication is, how often to change the water for them, litter box location, favorite toy. I also appreciate phone numbers of your vet for any just in case situations.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

While cat sitting, I always check around to see if I spot any vomit, or other bodily fluid where it shouldn’t be. If cats allow me to pet them, I will also be checking for and cuts bumps, etc., on their skin to make sure nothing new is there that could become more serious. Depending on the weather, I will check to make sure the thermostat is working and it’s not too hot or cold for the cats. If something is off with the temperature I will check in with the cat parents. Home wise I am always happy to take out trash and take packages in/mail in while you are away. I always lock the doors before I leave and always make sure no kitty has escaped! I am an observant person so if anything seems off, I will contact you to check in!

Alyssa took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. She sent updates and pictures with every visit. She was very attentive to my cats’ unique personalities and I felt like they were very well cared for! She was also very attentive to general house things like when my tomato plants ran out of water during a heat wave! My cats seemed super happy with Alyssa’s care and I look forward to her caring for them again.

I could not ask for a better cat sitter for my two senior kitties! Alyssa is a lovely, friendly, animal-loving person and my cats thought so too. She followed all instructions to a "T" and kept me informed after each visit. Smokey even allowed her pets! Thank you Alyssa!

Alyssa is my favorite person to watch my cats! She is always the first person I check with to see if she’s available because she is just the best. She always makes sure there is fresh water, clean litter and food bowls, and my cats are always happy when I return. Alyssa herself is so kind and warm, and she is so easy to talk to. She texts professionally and updates whenever she stops by the house, and she cleans up all the toys! When Alyssa watches my cats, I have the most peace of mind.

Alyssa is the ideal cat sitter. She loves cats and is very skilled at taking care of them. She is an outstanding communicator and is very responsible. I fully trust her to watch over my cats when I am away. She will care for your cats like they are her own, and she'll give you plenty of fun updates to enjoy while you are away!
