Pet Sitting in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

About: Hi! I’m Alexandra but you can call me “Ali“. I am a part time collage student and working full time as an MA. I have been experienced for caring for dogs and cats for 10 years now. I would love to help you by hanging out with your pup or cat :) I am currently working full time through out the week but any time after 5pm I’m your girl! I am available on weekends. On a weekly basis, I review my bookings in advance to prepare for any new pets. I’ll be caring and make sure I have all the information I need like feeding instructions, emergency contacts, the preferred routines. Over all, pet care is more than just a job it’s part of my lifestyle, and I love making it a priority every day. When I’m caring for pet for pet in their own home, I work to maintain their daily routine with minimal disruption. I stick to the feeding working and playing schedule, provided by the client and make sure the whole stays clean and safe for the pet. Regardless of the setting, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and love.

About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family and Hilo goes most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.

“Jonathan has been instrumental in helping me train my puppy and he is very patient with her puppy "skills" which includes eating grass. He makes sure that she has some play time and makes sure to follow my instructions to make sure I'm comfortable leaving my puppy to his care. Thanks Jonathan! I appreciate all your help!”

“Another worry free vacation brought to me by Melanie. Never mind anything I forgot to bring on my trip, I can always buy a new toothbrush, or swimming trunks. There is no way I can buy peace of mind on the road, and that’s where Melanie is priceless!”

At our home our boxer loves to play Frisbee and tug of war, but our husky just wants head scratches - we cater to both, in very different ways. :)
