“Alexandra was great! This was a bit of a last-minute booking, but she responded quickly and the visits were set up in no time.

Would absolutely book with Alexandra again.”

About: Hello! I am a Vet Technician at the Pleasant Hill Animal Clinic. I have worked there over 2 years, and have worked/had animals my entire life. I have two dogs of my own, as well as 4 horses. I am currently working part-time due to me being in college, so I have more than enough time to cater to your furry friends everyday. Upon entering my clients home, I take note of possible escape routes and hiding spots your animal may find in a new situation. I understand some pets get stressed, and watch those areas so no accidents happen. I try to make every single animal feel as comfortable with me, as they do with their own family.
