Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I'm ready to do anything to keep them happy and healthy. I look forward to meeting the emotional, behavioral, and physical needs of your pet.

About: With 30 years of dog care experience, I’ve been a proud dog owner and caregiver, training and caring for a variety of pups — from Labs and Boxers to two wonderful Staffies. Whether their humans are off to work or out on the town, I’m ready to provide belly rubs, playtime, and lots of love while mom and dad are away. I am currently working full-time during the week, but I’m usually available after 3 PM, all hours on weekends, and holidays. Hope I can meet your furry friends. I can care for your dog at your home or take them to a field to play fetch if that's their thing. Regardless of their age, I will tailor to their needs and follow their dietary guidelines. For younger, more energetic dogs, I can offer intense exercise. The more they get, the more I get—it's a win-win!
About: I’ve cared for my dog(s) at home for the past 13 years: walking, feeding, bathing and playing with them on a regular basis. I have also volunteered at a cat and dog shelter for the past 6 years, caring for rescued animals. I am available for pet care most weekdays and some weekends! I’ll always make sure to spend as much time as you request with your dog/cat. I am sure to provide one-on-one attention with your pet(s), accommodating to their routines and your preferences. Whether your pet is more or less active, I look forward to caring for them and meeting them at their level!
About: I've been a veterinarian for the past 9 years and am uniquely qualified to care for all types of pets including those with special medical needs and senior pets. In addition to dogs and cats I also have lots of experience caring for exotic pets and farm animals. I have been an animal lover my entire life and have 30+ years of animal care experience. I pride myself in having high standards of care and treat my client's pets like they were my own. Currently I have flexible availability and can do single drop-in visits for dog walks while you are at work or multiple visits a day if you are going out of town and need extended care for your pet I do my best to accommodate the type of care that is part of your pet's normal routine in order to minimize stress and keep your pet happy and healthy.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and love taking care of them! I was a frequent pet sitter through out college and now have a cat of my own. I’d love to help take care of your cat while you are away, and make sure they feel loved and taken care of! Im in office 3 days a week with flexible hours and schedule so can rearrange my work schedule to best take care of your pet! I have a super flexible schedule with work but do need to be in office 3 days a week. Happy to spend all my extra free time playing with you pets and can adjust schedules to match your trips and other needs. I will follow any routine you have set out to play, feed, go for walks, and change litter to ensure your cat or dog does not feel like anything is out of place. I love playing with cats and will dote on your pets as much/as little as they like! I am experienced with oral and topical medicine for cats.
“Alexa was truly a cat whisperer with my two cats. She approached them on their terms (because cats don’t always warm up immediately!!) and I was rewarded with many pictures and videos of both my cats enjoying her company. She made sure to play and snuggle the cats, giving them fulfilling visits alongside the basic food/litter necessities. I also appreciated that she paid careful attention to the litter habits. I have two boys, and those are known to get urinary problems as they are older. She did a wonderful job communicating her visits and sent plenty of pictures and videos so I could get my cat fix from afar! Alexa also proved flexible when my flight was almost cancelled, confirming that she would be available to continue checking in on them. I’ll definitely book with her again!!”
