About
Hi! I’m the owner of Whiskers & Wags Alyssa Franklin, and I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away.

Hired on Thumbtack

I was so nervous to entrust my cats to someone but it ended up being fantastic, I got regular and detailed updates and pictures, and felt confident my pets were well cared for in my absence. I'd be happy to leave my cats in her care again, which is the highest compliment I can give.

Details: Cat • 2 pets • Changing litter or bedding • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc.

She was wonderful! She checked in often, sent lots of pictures and updates, and was so sweet and loving with my cats. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!

Hired on Thumbtack

Alyssa is very responsive and communicative. She was happy to come by for a consult to meet my crew and to learn about their individual needs, which gave me peace of mind. I love that she loved on my kitties even though I hired her to let my dogs out midday for potty breaks and play time. That shows what an animal lover she is. We’ve only had Alyssa come over twice but plan to use her services regularly. Her text updates with photos are a huge plus as well! Let’s me know all is good at home.

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Taking pet outside • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • My home, venue, etc.

Whiskers & Wags went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was evident that our sitter genuinely loves animals, and they reciprocated that love! Our sitter kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which made being away so much easier.

Our
pets were taken excellent care of, and our home was treated with the utmost respect. The company is responsible, trustworthy, and dependable, with a warm, energetic personality that puts both pets and people at ease.

We were grateful for everything our sitter did and wouldn’t hesitate to hire
Whiskers & Wags again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets and home as if they were their own. Whiskers & Wags truly exceeded all of our expectations!
