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

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.

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.

We have been using her as our weekly dog walker, and we couldn't be happier with the care and reliability she provides. She is consistently punctual, dependable, and has built an incredible rapport with our dog, who is always excited to see her. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she works with, and that gives us complete peace of mind. We've also trusted her with pet sitting while we've been on vacation, and she has always gone above and beyond to ensure our pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her communication, professionalism, and dedication are exceptional. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet care provider, and we will continue to use her services again and again.
