Meet your sitter

Hi, I'm Allissa.

I've spent nine years in Johnston County and three years in the Wake County and Cary area. I know how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your home, pets, and everyday comforts while you're away.

I created Home & Haven by Allissa to offer thoughtful house sitting, pet care, plant care, mail collection, and light home cleaning, always with respect, warmth, and attention to detail.

Whether you need an overnight stay, a simple check-in, or help keeping your space fresh and welcoming, my goal is to give you greater peace of mind.
