About
Hi! I'm Alyssa, a former hairstylist and salon owner who recently transitioned into pet sitting, dog walking, and house sitting after stepping away from the salon due to a health condition.
Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I'm excited to bring that same reliability, attention to detail, and personalized care to pets and homes. I'm dependable, caring, and passionate about making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication, plant watering, mail collection, or following a detailed routine, I'm happy to provide the care your pets and home need.
I'm organized, respectful of every home, and send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing everything is going well. I have a cat of my own who means the world to me, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust.
I'll care for your pets and home with the same attention and kindness I'd want for my own!

I had the best experience at Checkered Chair! From the very beginning, Alyssa was extremely professional during our initial consultation and even provided a quote and estimate before the service. She really listened to exactly what I wanted, and my lived-in blonde balayage came out absolutely perfect. The haircut and layers were also perfection. I have very thick hair and she really crafted a cut that suited my hair type. Beyond her talent, Alyssa is incredibly kind and easy to talk to. Her space is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Im so happy to have finally found a stylist in the Boston area, and I cant wait to be back! Highly recommend.

My first haircut experience in Boston and I won't be going anywhere else! Alyssa was absolutely amazing and did a fantastic job with cutting and styling my hair the way I had envisioned it! Would highly recommend for anyone!

I got a blowout and a bang trim and the service was phenomenal. I appreciated the tips and advice given by Alyssa and the care she provided when working with my hair. Also very cute private salon space. I took a risk by going to a new hair stylist since I just moved here and it was worth the risk!

Alyssa is literally the BEST. Not only does she give an INCREDIBLE hair cut and have an amazing ability to take an idea/vision and tailor it to what will genuinely look good on you (we LOOOOVE an honest and reliable girlie!!), she also has super reasonable and fair rates for cuts/blow outs/style and I love the products she stocks (again, great quality for a fair price). Her setup in My Salon is awesome and such a luxe experience. Major bonus points that shes also just genuinely so kind, lovely, friendly and generous w her time and work. Truly could not recommend more!!!
