About: I am a dog lover all the way around. I find working with animals fulfilling. I love their unconditional love and absolutely loving giving it back to them. I have a husband, son and daughter that are as crazy about dogs as me. They work with me at a shelter to unload transports and finding foster dogs their furever home. I have several adopted dogs and work with a local shelter when I have the additional time. Nothing makes me happier (besides my family) than seeing the look in a dogs eyes when they find their furever home. Any dog I have encountered always gets spoiled by me and my family. Having my attention would be one and one with lots of play time. I also have dogs of my own and they would be socialized and have dog attention. I am currently an empty nester with my husband. I am home everyday and have lots of time and love to give to your pets. I have experience with small animals (rabbits, hamsters, Guinea pigs, etc). Any animal I have a fenced in yard and 3 small and 1 medium dogs. I have crates if your fur baby needs crates. My dogs have run of the house except for when I am out.
“5 stars !🌟 Ginger is so sweet and down to earth. She is very communicative and punctual. Ginger walked my dog for a few days while I was feeling under the weather. Ginger was an absolute joy, she was very communicative and punctual. My dog loved her and immediately went down for a nap every day after his walk with her. I trust her completely and will reach out to her in the future for sure. Thanks 🙏 Ginger !! 🐶”
About: I have had animals my whole life. They are the most precious things to me. All of my pets have exceeded the average life span and were extremely well cared for. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own. I am a mom of 2, a 10 year old boy and 7 year old girl. I am currently staying home with them for the summer and want a part time job doing something I love and am passionate about. I love to walk dogs, play with them, feed them, can give them medications, clean up after them, can do some grooming. I also love cats, and will play with them, give them plenty of cuddles, clean litter boxes, etc.

If you're looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after your pet, she’s the one!”
About: Coming from a family of animal lovers, I feel that I have inherited a passion for loving God's little creatures. I have experience in pet sitting cats, dogs, and even rats. Over the years, I've had the privilege of raising a number of different animals; some of which include: an opossum, deer, squirrels, bunnies, ducklings, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and of course, cats & dogs! Additionally, I have experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, senior care, and administering medication. I am currently enrolled at USC and work limited hours as an in-home caregiver for a young woman with special needs. Most of my classes are online so my schedule remains very flexible! I approach every animal with the gentleness and love that they deserve. I am happy to provide for your pet in anyway that you need!
About: Let me look after your furry friends when you need assistance. I love all pets and will provide them with the attention and nurturing they deserve while you're away. Having been a pet owner of both dogs and cats for most of my life, I consider them part of the family. As such, I always ensure they receive affection and companionship while under my watch. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart; I understand their need for gentle attention and additional assistance, and I'm committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. I have a calm and patient personality that pets find easy to connect with, but I also make sure they follow your rules! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I am recently retired from education, and own my own business that allows me to work from home, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to taking care of your pets! I will happily take care of your pets in your home so their routines remain in place as much as possible. To ensure I know all the ins and outs of your pets needs and they meet me with you around first, I do request that we have a meet-and-greet before the first time I care for your pets.
About: I am the dog mom to a reactive rescue dog. My rescue dog has minor health and behavioral challenges so I am used to handling medication and loving pets with diverse needs! I am communicative, punctual, and have a passion for animal rights. I am a teacher by trade, so during the school year I am only available after 5pm and the weekends. I have more availability for walks during the day time and overnight visits during holiday breaks/summer. I try my best to update my calendar often! I cannot care for your pet in my home because of my dog’s needs. I ask to do a consultation and meet you in person in your home to make sure I am a good match for you and your pet before house sitting. I will respect all directions given to me.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my family for 12+ years. I currently have two small dogs and one cat. I have experience with both dogs and cats in all sizes. I am comfortable with all sizes and energy levels! I am currently attending college. My schedule changes each semester. For fall 2025 I have class Monday 10-4, Tuesday 8-11, Wednesday 2-5, Thursday 8-11 and off Friday. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. When house sitting, pets would have the same schedule as normal with lots of love and attention.
About: I currently own 3 dogs (mini dachshund, Jack Russell mix, and German Shepherd) and dog sit for family members as needed. I’ve owned/adopted various other breeds and enjoy walking and playing with dogs. I have dependable transportation and would love to help you out with your beloved family pet. I’ve had dogs all of my life. I’m retired and have extra time to spend walking and/or playing with your pet. I’m available on weekends and holidays with advanced notice. Although I have a fenced in back yard, it would be best if I come to your house to care for your pet. I’m flexible for the amount of time I can stay, and the amount of visits.
About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life, I love dogs and cats and all animals for that matter. So in case you have another animal as well as the dogs, I am totally and conpletely willing to watch and take care of them as well. I am very good with instructions on how to take care of them in a certain way if you please. I will show them so much love and compassion, I will snuggle with them, and play with them until their satisfied or have no more energy left. I always make sure they go outside for potty breaks every so often. I will always make sure they are fed enough and if so fed the amount the owner desires. I will also make sure they get plenty of walks and exercise. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! I’m available on weekends and weekdays!

We got frequent updates, pictures, and she handled everything so professionally. It made our weekend getaway that much more fun because we didn't have to worry about our fur babies at home. Highly recommend Alexandria if you want your babies cared for by a true Dog Mama with a big heart for animals!”
