I would highly recommend Laura! At the first meet and greet my puppy wasn’t feeling his best and threw up twice, but she didn’t flinch, wasn’t put off, and was very caring. A few days later she even suggested a second visit so he could get to know her a bit better with a trial walk! All subsequent walks went AMAZING and she definitely helped lift his spirits as he was missing his family. I could tell through her messages and pictures that with each walk he missed us less and was having a great time with Laura! If you can, book Laura - you and your pet won’t regret it!!!

About: I have had my dog for 7 years now, and we have adopted our cat last year. I have also grown up with animals all my life and have helped friends and family take care of their animals! I am a teacher, so I have availability during the weekday in the summer. I am also available during the school year, but that is only on the weekends or evenings I enjoy taking my dog on walks around their neighborhoods so I have plenty of experience with dogs on leashes. I also love playing with animals inside or outside.

About: I am an avid dog trainer and owner. I have raised dogs for the past 5 years, while traveling around the county with my own dogs and those of others for AKC shows. I am a part of a local 4H club, recent graduate, and have attended prestigious events such as the Westminster Dog Show. During this time I have been responsible for dogs own by other people. I have skills with basic and advanced obedience and conformation. Dogs that I have cared for range from puppies to senior dogs. I have a great ability to make connections with all breeds of dogs. I am used to a daily routine of letting dogs out, feeding, exercising, and training. This routine comes very natural for me. I enjoy working with dogs. I am able to keep a balanced and safe schedule for all pets. I am used to meeting the needs for multiple animals. I show responsibility by following clear directions that have been given to me in order to care for the pet.

About: Hello! I’m Kacie. Just like you, and almost everyone else, I adore dogs/cats/ and everything in between. I’ve got tons of energy and patience for them, I grew up on animal planet and animals give me so much serotonin. I love sticking to a schedule and I’m very accommodating and communicative. I work 4 days a week as a hairdresser. I am available every evening after 6 I am available all day Monday and Wednesday, and Sunday. I’ve got a fenced in yard for the pups to play, I have cats inside but they’re comfortable with dogs. If your dog isn’t, the yard will do just fine, or the cats can stay upstairs. My house is plenty big enough.

Where do I begin other than saying 5-stars off the bat! This was our first time leaving our cat and using Rover and Alexandra was absolutely phenomenal. She was extremely courteous, kind and punctual and super communicative from the initial interview and meeting throughout the entire time we were away. She played, fed and took care of all of our cats needs, and the photos she sent were very welcomed so we could see our cat while away. We couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough and we will 110% be using her services again if she is available. Thank you again!
