“I would give more stars if I could! This was our first time leaving our old girl at home for the weekend as she it too difficult for her to join us camping unfortunately. Alexandra set our minds at ease immediately upon meeting her. Her communication is fantastic and she went above and beyond for our sweet Nala. I was super anxious about leaving her with a stranger but was so pleasantly surprised how much love and gentle care Alexandra gave to her. I absolutely recommend trusting her with your fur babies, I will definitely use her again ☺️”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a child but have actively babysat and looked after dogs for the last three years, with one of those years being for my own dog. I am accustomed to teaching tricks, potty training, crate training, gentle parenting, positive reinforcement and enrichment activities with dogs. I also groom my dog at home, from bathing to blowdrying — from trimming nails to quick face and paw touch ups. I mostly work from home and with a spacious living space as well as instant access to my backyard, I am able to take care of you fur baby's needs within a moments notice. Taking multiple breaks to help relieve or unwind your pup with a walk is no problem by me. I currently do this for my own pup and see this as no problem for yours. I am free most evenings, weekends and holidays as well; I am flexible with when you'd like to start/end your time with me. I have a large fenced backyard and a playful one year old bichon mix who loves the company of other pups. I have a few dog beds as well as a potential space I can fence/crate your pup, should they need that sort of space while boarding. I don't mind sharing with you photos and videos through out the day to help give you peace of mind while your dog is in my care. If you have specific requests or training, please feel free to share; I will do my best to accommodate you.

This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of one on one attention to help your pet feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other specific care your pet requires. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you're away.
About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.
About: Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs (and cats) for over 20 years, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience training dogs and reinforcing good habits and basic commands. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting to each dog’s personality, routine, and energy level. I work remotely and am only in the office 2 days a week. I lost my 10 year old shepherd last month and have lots of free time and love to give. I have a fenced yard with turf (artificial) grass, no other dogs or pets, and keep the environment 100% safe for any animals. I always supervise pets while outside and make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home while they’re with me.
“When you meet Denell, you can see she’s an animal lover and pets love her too. She took very good care of our two cats for the week we needed her. She was attentive to them, communicated with me through the week, and also shared photos. I highly recommend her and we will be calling on Denell again.”

“I contacted Farah pretty much last minute to look after my cat for 5 days. She responded promptly and quickly accepted my request! She did everything I requested and more! She kept Luna's area clean and tidy. She even left catnip for my cat on the last day. She was attentive and I think she did a fabulous job. Although my cat is on the shy side, she still tried to get her comfortable with her. She even stayed an extra 40 minutes! She was always on time and messaged me with photos and updates, which I really appreciated. If I ever need someone to look after Luna in the future, it will definitely be Farah!”
