Information Alejandra C. would like to know about your pet

It is important to tell me if there have been any medical issues with your pet, if any medicine is administered, if they get along with other dogs/people, do they struggle with separation anxiety.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs by taking them out on walks, stopping whenever they want so they can smell the area, playing with their toys, and giving them lots of rubs.

8 Years of Trusted Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

Growing up, I was always surrounded by cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past eight years as a pet sitter, I've had the privilege of building great relationships with both pets and their owners. There's something rewarding about earning an animal's trust and giving owners peace of mind while they're away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet's individual needs whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your best friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also send regular photo updates, so you'll always know how your furry family member is doing. For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, a clean litter box or potty break, plenty of playtime, and, of course, lots of love and belly rubs (if they enjoy them!). If your pet is staying with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. They're welcome to roam freely throughout my house and will go outside every 4–5 hours for potty breaks and fresh air. I'm available most days and evenings. The only time I'm generally unavailable is weekend mornings. My calendar is kept up to date, so please check my availability for the dates you'd like to book.

Alejandra was fantastic! She took great care of our two kitties, and arranged a meet and greet and key pickup/dropoff seamlessly. Highly recommend!

Alejandra took good care of our two old cats while we were away. She was able to give one of our cats her inhaler. She follows instructions well.

It’s so nice to have someone experienced to look after your fur babies. Especially mine, who are anxious and timid when we are not around.

Alejandra was an exceptional dog sitter -- courteous, professional, caring, and a true animal lover. She provided daily updates and sent the sweetest pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. She treated our dog Coco as if she were her own, and that was the most important thing to us. We always felt Coco was safe, happy, and in the best possible hands. I would gladly recommend Alejandra to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog, and I will absolutely be using her services again. Thank you, Alejandra, for loving Coco like family! 🐾
