About: Hi! My name is Alexa and I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs alike. I’ve frequently pet sat for friends, family and neighbors while also caring for my own pets, Rosie my 6 year old bull mastiff, and my 2 year old cats Lily and Lemon. I take pride in being a reliable caretaker and I know the importance of creating a fun and nurturing environment for your furry family. I’m currently working full time, however I have a daily hour long lunch break, allowing me to fit pet care into that free time, as well as availability from 4:30-5:30 on the weekday evenings. My schedule on the weekends is pretty flexible! Safety is paramount, secure surroundings and leash-trained walks! I will only ever take your pets to pet friendly environments/parks. And will build trust through consistent communication and interactions.

“Diana is a major animal lover! She is my neighbor and when my husband and I are out of town she has taken care of my cat and my chinchilla several times. She is extremely trustworthy, caring and responsible. I don't know what I would do without her. My cat is in love with her! It helps that Diana has grown up surrounded my animals her whole life and currently has 3 cats and a dog she cares for.”
20. Robyn C.
“Robyn is one of the most caring people i know especially in regards to animals. She is very attentive to the needs of her animal as well as the animals of those she comes in contact with. Animals love her gentle nature and her care. She is very giving while at the same time understands that animals sometimes need to heed so they do not hurt themselves or something else. She does so in a very direct and caring way. This woman was born to care for animals and is right at home loving them and being loved by them. I can think of no one better to have watch and care for your adored pets than this natural animal lover. ”
